Kids usually do the opposite, so asking a child if they have to use the potty may have the opposite effect. This method may work for some parents during potty training, but most of the time, the child will tell the parents no regardless of whether or not they have to go to the bathroom. Instead, parents should explain to the child that when he or she has to go potty, they will need to let the parent know, so they can help them in the bathroom. Remind the child to tell you throughout the day.
