The Go Diaper Free Podcast

You've probably heard of Montessori. Do you know that a lot of Montessori methods overlap with what I teach about EC? Today's episode is the first in a four-part series based on the Montessori approach to toilet learning, starting at birth. I'll tell you all about what Mother Nature intended for your baby re: toilet learning. Let's consider how we can return to our instincts and trust the natural laws of development.

The average age of potty training has more than doubled in two generations. But! The blame doesn't belong to parents, so let go of any guilt (yes, I'm talkin' to you). It belongs to long-term, strategic marketing campaigns from a 65 billion dollar industry that have slowly, over these generations, led to dramatic changes in the way we parent. If you're sensitive to extremely passionate opinions, maybe skip this week's episode… Otherwise, join me for an HONEST talk about how we've been duped for the sake of capitalism.
