Make Potty Training Easier- Home Prep
Dr Cathryn unpacks what to do before potty training starts—how to prepare your home, your child, and yourself— so the process feels calmer, easier, and more manageable.
Set up your space to reduce stress
Small home-prep steps—like easy cleanup, clear paths to the potty, and stable seating—lower frustration and support learning.
Warm up your child without pressure
Simple, playful practice helps kids connect body signals to the potty before anything feels urgent.
Focus on confidence, not control
A big-hearted approach builds body awareness, minimizes power struggles, and keeps you connected through the messy moments.
🎉 Free Potty Party coming in early February!
I’ll be hosting a free 3-day Potty Party to walk you through big-hearted potty training and help you feel ready and confident before you begin. More details coming soon—stay tuned.
