Ah, the potty training stage! Not the most funnest of stages for us parents, but one that we all have to face at some point. It's easy to dread this stage or to worry about it, but take away the pressure of having to tackle potty training simply to 'hit a milestone' by a certain age and you can take a far more relaxed approach with it, which will make things for both you and your child 100 times easier.

We've just come to the end of our potty training journey as our youngest and final child is now potty trained and having been through the process twice now, we definitely think that the second time around was a whole lot easier. I think this comes down to us just being a lot more relaxed and laid back with it this time. Our approach this time was just to sort of let it happen when it was ready to to help make the transition feel more natural for our little boy and with that approach, and a few little changes, it felt like it just sort of happened. 

Below I'm going to share 6 tips for easy and laid back potty training with your toddler, including some sithat worked for us.
