Toddlers Made Easy with Dr Cathryn

Make Potty Training Easier: What To Do Before You Begin

Listen Later

Potty training doesn’t begin with underwear or sticker charts. It starts with you.

In this episode, Dr. Cathryn explains how potty training isn’t just about whether your toddler is ready. Your readiness matters too.


Key takeaways:

  • Mantras like "This phase won't last forever" anchor you mid-chaos.
  • Cleanup baskets + simple mindset shifts make accidents no big deal.
  • Accidents = lessons, not failures, helping you to respond warm, not rattled.


    • If you’re about to start potty training (or stuck in the middle of it), this episode helps you feel grounded, clear, and ready to lead with calm.


    RESOURCES:

    Grab the FREE 5 Must-Do’s Before Starting Potty Training guide and get your child curious, confident, and excited before you begin.
