[net.kids] our successfully potty trained daughter

We have been very successful with potty training for our daughter
and reading all the messages in this group made me think about
it a little more.  Strangely enough, we did practically nothing
to train her, but I did think of two possibly relevant circumstances,
and I was interested to hear comments from others.

First, we never made a big deal out of mistakes.  The main impression
that our daughter probably got from us about it was, that if she
peed in the bed, she was making a lot of work for us (that we did
not enjoy doing).

Second, our daughter has seen US go to the bathroom, since we rarely
close the bathroom door when we go.
