Make Potty Training Easier- Home Prep

Dr Cathryn unpacks what to do before potty training starts—how to prepare your home, your child, and yourself— so the process feels calmer, easier, and more manageable.

• Set up your space to reduce stress
  Small home-prep steps—like easy cleanup, clear paths to the potty, and stable seating—lower frustration and support learning.

• Warm up your child without pressure
  Simple, playful practice helps kids connect body signals to the potty before anything feels urgent.

• Focus on confidence, not control
  A big-hearted approach builds body awareness, minimizes power struggles, and keeps you connected through the messy moments.
