124: Potty Training Your Child: Tips, Tricks, and How to Get Started


Listen Later

Now that my daughter is two-and-a-half years old, I am approaching when I need to potty train her. From my years of experience working with families, I know that each child is different, and potty training your child might look a bit different from how I potty train mine, and that's okay! Potty training can be a challenging process for some children and smooth for others. I was lucky enough to have an easy experience with my son, but I am preparing for anything with my daughter. That's why I'm chatting with my guest today, Arin Schultz. He has four boys and knows a thing or two about potty training. In this episode, we share our potty training experiences with our kids, potty training tips, what to keep in mind, and how we got started.

If you want a good laugh and some relatable information on potty training, this episode is for you!

  • When do you believe a parent should start the potty training process?
  • With your experience, what do you think is the best way to get started with potty training?
  • We know that children vary developmentally and in temperament. Do you think the potty training process varies based on each child?
  • What are some products that can help with potty training?
  • What about nighttime potty training? Where does this fit into the training process, and how can parents integrate it into their routine?
