# A potty training song for toddlers, with their name A potty training song for toddlers works best as calm encouragement: a short, cheerful song that sings your child's name, celebrates trying (not only success) and walks through the steps from sitting down to washing hands. You give us the details, approve every word, and an AI music model sings it in minutes. ## When to start, in brief The American Academy of Pediatrics' parent site says children show signs of bladder and bowel control between 18 and 24 months, that toilet training in the United States usually begins between 2 and 3 years, and that most children are trained by 4. Signs of readiness it lists include staying dry for at least 2 hours, showing they are about to go (grunting, freezing, squatting) and asking for "big-kid" underwear. A song does not make a child ready. It helps once they are. Our [potty training tips](/guides/potty-training-tips) guide covers the rest. ## How to use a potty song - **Play it while they sit**, not as a prize afterwards. Sitting for the length of a song is a manageable goal. - **Same song, same moments**: after waking, before the bath, before leaving the house. - **Sing it yourself** when there is no speaker, such as in a store restroom. Two minutes of the chorus is easy to learn. - **Keep it calm around accidents.** The AAP suggests avoiding treats and punishments, which can distract rather than encourage. The song is the same whether it worked or not. - **End at the sink.** The lyrics finish with washing hands, so the song carries the whole routine. ## What to put in a potty song for a 2 year old - **The name of their potty or seat**, if it has one, or its color. - **Their "big-kid" underwear**: the dinosaur pants, the rainbow ones. - **The words your family uses** for pee and poop. The lyrics keep it gentle, with no toilet jokes beyond light fun. - **Who cheers**: Mom, Dad, a big sister, a teddy that "sits on the potty too". - **A celebration** they like: a happy dance, a high five, a silly flush wave. The lyrics never shame, threaten or compare to other children. ## Why make a personalized one Video sites have plenty of potty songs, and for many families those are enough. A personalized potty song uses your child's name, their underwear, their family words and your own steps, so it fits your routine instead of a cartoon's. You fill in the form, an AI writer drafts the lyrics about a minute after payment, you change any word or ask for a fresh draft, and an AI music model sings it in about 2 to 4 minutes in a bouncy, playful style. Up to 3 sung versions; you keep one as an MP3 to play on any phone. ## Price One price per song, shown on this page, paid once with no subscription. Toddler routines come in a set, so a pack of 5 makes sense for many families: potty, [tooth brushing](/songs/toothbrushing-song-2-minutes), tidy-up, bath and bedtime. Packs of 5 and 20 bring the price per song down and never expire. ## Example lyrics Made with Still Morning for a made-up example, from these details: "Two years and four months. Has a green frog potty seat and new dinosaur underpants he is very proud of. We say "pee-pee" and "poo". His bear Bruno sits on a little stool next to him. Likes to wave bye-bye to the flush and do a happy dance.". **Kai Can Try** ``` [Verse 1] Green frog potty, sit down low Dino pants on, watch you go Bruno Bear waits on his stool You’re so brave, you’re so cool [Chorus] Kai, Kai, give a cheer Pee-pee, poo, no need to fear Wave bye-bye and watch it go Happy dance, stomp your toe [Verse 2] Hear the flush go whoosh and swirl Wave your hand, you big-time kid Clap your hands and spin around Dino pants, best in town [Chorus] Kai, Kai, give a cheer Pee-pee, poo, no need to fear Wave bye-bye and watch it go Happy dance, stomp your toe [Bridge] Wash your hands, scrub-a-dub Rub the bubbles, rub-a-rub [Chorus] Kai, Kai, give a cheer Pee-pee, poo, no need to fear Wave bye-bye and watch it go Happy dance, stomp your toe ``` ## What it cannot do A song will not potty train a child who is not ready, and it is not medical advice. If you have worries about constipation, pain or a child who was trained and has gone back, ask your pediatrician. If you only need any potty song today, the ones on video sites cost nothing. ## Questions **What are good potty songs for 2 year olds?** Short, repetitive songs with a clear chorus and steps they can follow: sit, try, wipe, flush, wash. A personalized one adds their name and their own words. Pick the toddler age band so the lines stay short. **Should I play the song every time?** Every time they sit, at first. Once the routine sticks, many families only sing the chorus, or drop it altogether. **Is a song a reward?** We suggest not. The AAP's parent site advises avoiding treats and punishments. Use the song as company while they sit, the same whether or not anything happens. **Can the song use our family's words for pee and poop?** Yes. Write them in the details. The lyrics stay gentle and never make fun of the child. **Can daycare use it too?** Yes. You can share it with your childminder or nursery so the routine is the same in both places. ## Sources - American Academy of Pediatrics (HealthyChildren.org), [The Right Age to Potty Train](https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/toddler/toilet-training/Pages/The-Right-Age-to-Toilet-Train.aspx), 2022-05-24.
