How did you Potty Train? How'd that go? (lemmy.world)

Getting ready for the literal and figurative shit storm that is potty training. I would love to hear some experiences-

What method did you use? Was it from a book or a parenting blog? How long did it take? What would you do differently? What did you do right?

I plan to record evidence of our triumph so I can show her when she get sassy and says I don't do anything for her. Welp kid, you'd literally be an animal defecating on the floor! Let's watch exhibit A, shall we?

(I'm not really recording my child, I feel like I have to say this for the former FBI agents who recently have so much time on their hands. I was being entirely facetious...which sounds like feces)

With my daughter she was absolutely terrified of falling into the big potty. We got to her use the training potty fairly easy by just making it available, but couldn't get her to transition to the big potty. We got it to work by taking the small lid off the training potty and putting it over the seat on the big potty and she then felt safe enough to start using it. Overall it was a bit of a fight, but she's been using it for over a year now, and all has been good since.
