Lazy Potty Training: A Stress-Free Approach to Potty Training Success
In this episode of "Toddlers Made Easy," Dr. Cathryn introduces a refreshing perspective on potty training, termed "lazy potty training."
This approach emphasizes a relaxed, supportive environment where toddlers lead their own journey to bathroom independence, without the stress and pressure typical of more traditional methods.
Dr. Cathryn explains the benefits of this method, including fostering confidence, body awareness, and strengthening the parent-child bond. The episode includes practical tips for implementing this strategy and a discussion on the importance of a supportive, non-pressurized approach in helping children feel valued and understood.
For those seeking additional guidance, Dr. Cathryn mentions a resource available in the show notes and provides a link to the comprehensive "Potty Training Made Easy" course.
