Before Potty Training: Understand Your Child's Point Of View!'
Before You Start Potty Training:
Understand Your Child's Point Of View!
What's the number 1 mistake parents make when attempting potty training?
They don't actually understand what potty training is all about!
Surprising, isn't it?
They know what outcome they're looking for - but they've never considered how their child is going to learn the required skills... or thought about where they're starting from.
Don't embark on potty training unless you understand the learning process that underpins it!
If you think potty training is all about teaching (or bribing or cajoling or reminding) your child to choose to use a potty rather than a nappy, you need to watch these videos before you get caught out.
Why? Because you're missing a vital piece of the puzzle.
Well, three pieces actually... You see, choosing to use a potty (or toilet) - is the fourth and final step in the learning process.
And if you're not anticipating steps one to three, you're going to end up saying or doing something you regret - or even giving up altogether.
There is no reason to be in the dark about something as universal as potty training.
There's no need to dread it or put it off for months.
And there's no need to wing it, when the right advice is there for the taking (though you do need to filter out the misinformation to find it).
Once you clearly see what it's all about, potty training will seem a lot less daunting.
Sneak Preview: Video 1: Introduction
Understand The Learning Process!
"Video 2 was revolutionary - but of course, so true."
"The videos are fab - makes it all fall into place!"
"Now we can see progress where before there was frustration!"
"I'd definitely recommend these to potty training families."
For a 20 minute investment and only £4.95 (that's less than a pack of nappies), you can take a huge step towards potty training success.
These videos will explain all four steps in your child's learning process. You'll get a real insight into what's going on in your toddler's body and brain when you start potty training - and you'll be primed for success rather than stress when it's your child's turn.
After You've Watched This Class You Will:
- Understand your child's point of view.
- Know where you're starting from and why.
- Recognise the 4 phases of learning so you can track your child's progress.
- Realise that you can take the lead on potty training (even if you parent in a child-led way).
- See 'readiness' from a different perspective.
Sneak Preview: Video 7: Is Your Child Ready?
Is This Class Worth It For You?
If you have a child in nappies and know they'll need to transition to pants at some point - then Yes! This class is well worth the investment of 20 minutes of your time and £4.95 (that's less than the cost of two packs of wipes. Not potty training, delaying potty training, or abandoning potty training mid way through is far far more expensive...)
From Pottying To Potty Trained with The Toddler Videos!
Our second baby (boy of just over two years old now) was part-time ECd since three weeks. I took the plunge for full on pants in the day after reading Jenn's website and then signed up to the video class explaining a toddler's conceptions of potty training. I really got to grips with exactly what stage he was at.
Jenn's research, calm and down to earth attitude with 4 kids, lets you see how realistic and user friendly it is - whatever your situation. - Tania R, mother of 2 and a bump.

Why might you be hesitant?
- "This is my first child, I know I need to think about potty training but I'm not sure he's 'ready'..."
- Ah! This class is for you! Watching this video will help you decide on the right time to potty train - and it will give you a good framework for what to expect when you take the plunge. You only want to potty train once. Get it right the first time.
- "I tried to potty train my child before, but it didn't work / she 'wasn't ready'..."
- This class is ideal for you! Well done for being here at all! It's great that you're looking for other routes to success next time around - and this is a great place to start. This class will help you to review your previous attempt, which will bolster your confidence for the next time you try.
- "My child is three and will potty train himself when he's ready..."
- Yes yes yes, this class is for you! Whether you take the lead in potty training, or you wait for your child to figure it all out for himself, he'll still follow the four phases of learning explained in these videos. You should watch them now so that you recognise his development when the time comes.
- "My child is only 18 months old / two years old / two and a half..."
- Perfect timing! This class is for you! Even if you don't feel ready to embark on potty training just yet, this class should give you the confidence you need to make that decision. And don't worry, you'll remember the information when you need it.
- "My child is only six / twelve / fifteen months old... "
- Welcome, welcome! This class is for you! It won't tell you how to use a potty right now with your baby, but the learning process is the same whenever your child approaches independence. If you use a potty already, understanding these principles will help with all aspects of your pottying.
- "I've already potty trained one child...."
- Yet, still, this class is for you! A great many people potty train their first child without understanding these principles. If it didn't go 'perfectly' first time around, you'd like to start earlier, you're looking for a less stressful experience, or you'd like a quick refresher and different perspective - this class will build your foundation.
If you have vivid memories of your previous potty training adventures you'll probably recognise the phases I characterise, which will help you look for them next time around. - "I've read loads about potty training and know exactly how I'm going to go about it..."
- In that case, this class is for you! Many potty training books focus on what you need to do to get your child to consitently use the potty. This class will show you how your child will learn what you're trying teach them. It's a different angle and will help you assess whether you proposed approach makes sense from your child's point of view.
- "We do babyled pottying / ec. My baby has used a potty forever, but isn't independent / reliable yet... "
- Hooray! This class is for you! Successful pottying doesn't automatically lead to early independence - but because you know what your child is capable of, you might be confused by their apparent inconsistency. This class will help you understand where they are in the learning process and how far you have to go.
- I believe everything you've said, but think I can find the information elsewhere on the internet...
- Then this class is definitely for you! If you're about to scour the internet looking for this information, let me save you the trouble. After all, you've already decided it's worth knowing...
The internet is a big and busy place, jam packed with misinformation. I've not seen the learning process explained in this way on any of the potty training or parenting websites, so you're in for hours of wading then filtering and finally overlaying of your own interpretations - and you still won't know if you've arrived at the same clear phases that I describe here (after years of research, observation and experience).
There's no misinformation in this video class. There's no exaggerated timelines, or accelerated success stories. Yet what you'll learn will directly impact your approach to potty training - and that's worth a great deal more than the £4.95 price tag. Save your sanity and click the button below. (Then spend the next three weeks researching something else instead ;) )
This Class Isn't For You If...
You're looking for a blow by blow instruction manual for potty training. Instead it will form a strong basis for any approach - whether you follow a program, wing it from a website, or a take a friend's advice.
These videos explain a learning process. Watch them before you put your potty training plan into action. Use them to assess that plan to see if it considers your child's point of view. Choose your potty training approach in the light of your new knowledge (and avoid the charlatans with impossible guarantees).
Why Make An Instant Access Video Class?
To help people potty train successfully - on their first attempt!
I've been immersed in potty training for more than nine years. Most people learn enough to get their toddler from nappies to the potty and then move on, but I have a real and long lasting interest in potty training because:
- I used a potty with all four of my children from when they were babies.
- I set up Born Ready seven years ago and have had a direct line to internet answer-seekers ever since.
- I've clocked up thousands of discussions with parents about potty training - parents who are just like you (and parents who are nothing like you too!)
- I've made my own observations and considered them in the context of published research papers and books by other experts.
- I've been trained to sift through data to find patterns and draw conclusions (that PhD comes in handy all the time ;) ).
- I can clearly see the gap between the way children learn to use a potty and what parents think they're trying to teach them!
I come across misunderstandings about potty training all the time! I explain his process at every advice session I run for parents or childcare professionals.
These videos allow all parents (and their children!) to benefit from this information - not just those who live near me.
We learn through conversation
I've explained this development process to a great many parents. I find it easiest in person because talking about attitudes to nappies and potty training can be a sensitive subject - after all, everyone already does their best for their child. I've also had thousands of interactions by keyboard and know as well as you do that cold hard text can cause offense where conversation would have brought solidarity.
So this video class is great because it lets me talk to you!
We remember conversations.
Once I've exlpained this process - a process that's fundamental to potty training - you'll remember it. You'll remember it more clearly than if you read it as a blog post or found it buried in a book or outlined in a facebook comment. You won't need to go thumbing through chapter six thinking "what were the progressions again...?" You'll have them memorised in minutes.
