Potty training was always a daunting experience in my mind. How do I get my child to potty train? I had no idea! And even worse, why isn't my child ready to potty train? My oldest daughter was 18 months when we started. She was and still is afraid of everything. So naturally, she was afraid of potty training.

With my second child it was a no-brainer; we were going to bank ...
