Even before your child is ready to try the potty, you can prepare your little one by teaching about the process:

Use words to express the act of using the toilet ("pee," "poop," and "potty").Ask your child to let you know when a diaper is wet or soiled.Identify behaviors ("Are you going poop?") so that your child can learn to recognize the urge to pee and poop.Get a potty chair your child can practice sitting on. At first, your child can sit on it wearing clothes or a diaper. When ready, your child can go bare-bottomed.Set aside some time to devote to the potty-training process.Don't make your child sit on the toilet against his or her will.Show your child how you sit on the toilet and explain what you're doing (because your child learns by watching you). You also can have your child sit on the potty seat and watch while you (or a sibling) use the toilet.Establish a routine. For example, you may want to begin by having your child sit on the potty after waking with a dry diaper, or 45 minutes to an hour after drinking lots of liquids. Only put your child on the potty for a few minutes a couple of times a day, and let your child get up if he or she wants to.Have your child sit on the potty within 15 to 30 minutes after meals to take advantage of the body's natural tendency to have a bowel movement after eating (this is called the gastro-colic reflex). Also, many kids have a time of day they tend to have a bowel movement.Ask your child to sit on the potty if you see clear clues of needing to go to the bathroom, such as crossing legs, grunting, or squatting.Empty a bowel movement (poop) from your child's diaper into the toilet, and tell your child that poop goes in the potty.Avoid clothes that are hard to take off, such as overalls and shirts that snap in the crotch. Kids who are potty training need to be able to undress themselves.
