Lindsay’s Show Notes!
Potty training is like one of the least fun things to do as a parent in my opinion! And this is the attitude I had at the beginning of this adventure and I feel like it made it sooo much harder!
When I decided WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS! And … WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS FUN
!It became less painful. I thought about what would motivate my son… and what would motivate any kid to want to sit on a cold potty rather than just go in their cozy diaper- like they’ve been doing for the last 2.5 years.
So, after reading and listening to everything I could find on the topic, I created my own method of praise and prize… and it totally worked! (To my surprise!).
In this episode I break down how we used 2 motivating factors… Praise and Prize to potty train our 2 1/2 year boy in one week. And on day one we were fully in diapers - like starting at the actual beginning!
This episode has so many tips that helped us make potty training fun and successful.

And by the way- now that we’ve talked potty together - we’re really a tight community!
Thanks for listening friends!
Cheers to potty training!

0:27.7 | five years since I did it and this time it was a boy, not a girl. So I took two days and in any time I could, |
0:34.2 | I read and listened to nonstop potty training advice. I took it all in and sort of created my own plan. |
0:40.7 | And to my surprise, it worked. |
