In this episode, we explore the best ways to support your child through potty training without rushing or coaxing. With over 35 years of experience, I recommend a relaxed, zero-pressure approach. While some kids can learn in a weekend, pushing kids can lead to issues like constipation, behavioral problems, and stress.

Key Takeaways:

- Zero-Pressure Approach: Trust that your child will learn when they’re ready. Potty training is about the process, not just the end goal.

- Unconditional Trust: Your child senses your emotions. By trusting their ability to learn, you boost their confidence and independence.

- Big-Hearted Communication: If you’ve been pressuring your child, acknowledge it and reassure them they’ll use the potty when they’re ready.

- Pre-Potty Training: Introduce the potty without expectations, allowing your child to explore it on their own terms. This sets the stage for a smoother transition.
