"Hi, my name is Shelby on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to potty train. In this segment I want to explain how important it is to take your child to the restroom with you. If you're a dad, you want to take your son to the bathroom when you go. Cause then it's going to erg them to go and they're going to say, "oh daddy's using the potty so I'm going to try to use the potty." If you're a mom doing potty training; if you're a friend's house or they're on a play date, you might want to say it's time mommy has to go to the bathroom, she feels her pee-pee coming. Maybe you feel that your pee-pee is coming and then they'll want to go with you. It's important that they visualize somebody else who is comfortable in their family with them, going to the restroom because then they'll want to go to the restroom. Also if you're at a park, if you're at a restaurant, if you're at a theme park, it doesn't matter where you are every 5, 10 minutes just ask let's go to the bathroom."
