Read a book such as Dora's Potty Book by Melissa Torres or Fuzzy Bear's Potty Book by Dawn Bentley. Explain that everyone uses the bathroom. Take a few children on a tour of the bathroom. Point out and describe all the things you see. Say, "As you become big boys and girls you can tell someone when you need to go to the potty and they will help you!" Remember to avoid putting pressure on the children. They have their own developmental timetable for successful potty training.
