Skip the Disposable Underwear

Some kids look at training pants as just a fancy diaper. Try going directly to underwear. When your child has an accident, she'll realize quickly that her clothes will get wet, and she'll need to change them. While this method can work wonders in just a few days, make sure to stock up on some extra laundry detergent in the meantime.
