”It’s game day every day when you are a mom trying to potty train your child. Moms have told me some real horror stories since I became a toilet training advocate. When your child finally wants to go on the potty every day it is like winning the Super Bowl,” says Tammie Aaron-Barrada, creator of PottieStickers. Many mothers have labeled potty training as dreadful, time consuming and frustrating. No one said that raising children is an easy task and in today’s busy multitasking society the challenges are greater, the pace is faster and potty training is even more difficult.

Starting potty training at a young age and being consistent has been the most steadfast and reliable strategy for generations and generations. Unfortunately, in today’s society, with very few stay at home mothers and the added responsibilities associated with a professional career or home business, parents are finding it harder and harder to potty train their young ones. However, there is hope for frustrated potty trainers.

Find a game plan and stick with it. That is what Tammie Aaron-Barrada did. She could not find a potty training system for her son so she created one. Instead of candy or toys, Aaron-Barrada rewarded her sons' achievements with colorful, theme-based stickers she made herself: One for sitting on the toilet, two for going pee, and three for a poopy. When he finished his pottie experience he chose stickers and mounted them on a fold-up picture that matched the stickers.

It was portable, creative and consistent, their mom said. And best of all, it worked. She knew this was a winner. The day-care center agreed to test the products. When they reported seven successes with seven toddlers, Tammie was estatic. “Since I first invented them in 2000 I have never had anyone say they have not worked for them and I am knocking on wood they never do” says Aaron-Barrada. Cathy Trout’s Day Care Center in Ruffs Dale is using PottieStickers, where one little girl says “I only pee for PottieStickers” with her serious little smile, Trout said.

"There's no wrong way to stick on a sticker," Aaron-Barrada said. "The stickers are big and thick, easy for little fingers to handle. They're not baby-fied. Toddlers love detail and color so I made them full of color and loaded with extra things for them to do. Ellie the elephant is hiding and they need to find her in every picture. Working with these, they feel they're accomplishing something worthwhile. It builds self-esteem. And it gets them to use the potty."
Once the kids are out of diapers, parents save $100.00 a month. Now that’s better than winning the Super Bowl – that’s money in the bank. Take the time and be consistent in potty training, it is money in the bank. With today's family-on-the-go-lifestyle it has become harder to be consistent with children traveling more. Statistics prove that late toilet training is harder on children. Not long ago, the average child being toilet trained was between 15 and 20 months old. Now we wait until they between 36 and 42 months before we even start trying. Today children have more bladder and urinary tract infections, more constipation, and stretched and pocketed bowels that are causing heath issues in children.

The cost alone in diapers, wipes, creams and diaper rash ointments, diaper holders, diaper gene, diaper gene disposable bags, diaper bags, changing pads, changing tables, diaper liners, wipe warmers, swim diapers, designer diaper panties, baby sprays and washes, and laundry soap is well worth it, not to mention the land fills. If you want to get rid of diaper rash simply get rid of the diaper.

With all the name brands, sizes, weights, and styles on all the varieties to choose from, there are usually about 144 diapers in a case, costing about $50 dollars each. That means you have to buy at least two cases a month, that’s a $100.00 a month, Let’s not forget all the wipes and creams, vs the 12.99 for a three pack of PottieStickers, portable toilet training reward system that kids love. It should be a no brainer. www.PottieStickers.com, because we all need a few extra dollars in our pockets these days.

Only months after loosing their third baby her husband lost his battle with cancer leaving Aaron-Barrada with two toddlers to raise. "I don't remember 2002 except realizing we had no life insurance and I had to figure out a way to pay the bills. So I am manufacturing PottieStickers to share with other moms and child care givers and tithing 10% of all sales to cancer research to raise my kids," she says now.
