Ready But Resistant — What to Do When Your Child Won’t Sit on the Potty


Your toddler seems ready to potty train—but refuses to even sit on the potty? You’re not alone. In today’s episode, Dr. Cathryn breaks down why kids can be physically ready but emotionally resistant—and what to do about it.

You’ll learn:

  • The real reason toddlers say “no” to the potty
  • What not to do (hint: no pushing, no bribes)
  • Exactly what to say instead
  • When to pause and how to restart with success


    • ✨ This is potty learning the big-hearted way—rooted in trust, not pressure.
