The process seems simple: Buy potty, introduce potty to child, have child sit on it clothed, then unclothed, buy fun underwear, be patient and upbeat. But potty training is not a one-diaper-fits-all situation. It's a far more individual process than people realize, one that depends on your child's personality, and even on what's happening in your own life at the time. Learning to tailor your potty-training strategy to your child's temperament -- and your family's -- will save you a lot of stress in the long run. Follow these steps to success.
