Episode Synopsis

Potty Training the Big-Hearted Way: A Stress-Free Approach to Ditching Diapers
Dr. Cathryn introduces "lazy potty training" - a balanced approach that avoids both strict parent-led timelines and completely child-led methods.
Key Points:

Focus on creating a supportive environment rather than rushing the process

Look for physical readiness signs (dry for 2+ hours, regular bowel movements . . .)

Pre-potty training steps include modeling, normalizing potty use, and discussing body cues

Use gentle guidance instead of pressure ("Do you feel like it's time to go pee?")

Keep accidents low-key and praise effort rather than outcomes


Dr. Cathryn emphasizes that this approach builds confidence, fosters body awareness, strengthens parent-child connection, and reduces constipation risks.
