There is no magic wand that parents can use to potty train their children. But one woman found a tool that comes close.
Mom shared her favorite finds with her guardian peers. Today she can be ordered for less than $10.
On the TikTok account MommyLifeSquad,moms of two share the best tips, tricks, products, recipes, and activities for kids.
One of her anonymous mothers shared her go-to potty training tool and confided she wished she knew sooner.
"What you need to know as a first-time mom potty training her edition," she said at the beginning of the video.
She showed a scene too familiar for her family as they were potty training. This is the scene where the toddler escapes from the toilet seat.
"If you have a toddler who is having a hard time, get this potty training her sticker," said the mom.
She showed off a circular sticker. This looked like a plain black dot on the bottom of a child's toilet.
"Just peel it off and stick it to the bottom of the toilet seat," she instructed. "When your child uses the toilet, this super-cute dinosaur appears."
As a demonstration, I poured lukewarm water into the toilet bowl and indeed, a cartoon dinosaur emerged from the darkness.
"Cute!" she said. "Well, it's better." Stickers have another wallet-friendly secret.
"Stickers are also reusable," the mother revealed. "Pour some cold water in."
She poured cold water over the sticker and the dinosaur's face disappeared again.
Stickers can be reused over and over again until they are no longer sticky.
Dinosaur stickers on TikTok are definitely affordable.$12.99 for a pack of 5 on Amazon.
But you can find even cheaper designs on the website. For example,10 animal stickers for only $9.
Stock up on stickers when you're ready to start potty training. Don't be surprised if your fellow parent friends want the tool for themselves when they see how well it works.
