The Science of Potty Training
There’s no one-size-fits-all method – but there is science behind what works.
Some kids seem to potty train overnight. Others resist every step. And then there are setbacks: pooping only in diapers, holding it in, sudden regressions. If you’re overwhelmed by conflicting advice, you’re not alone.
This course gives you four clear, research-backed paths – with practical tools tailored to your child’s age and your family’s needs. Whether you want to start in infancy or in the toddler years; whether you want a fast-track plan or a gradual, child-led approach, you’ll learn exactly how to support your child confidently and calmly.
