Potty training can be a seemingly daunting task that many of us dread––whether because we’ve heard some nightmarish stories or maybe we’ve had some negative experiences ourselves. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Katelin interviews Monica Ferrie, an Australian toilet training expert and educator who shares refreshing insights and a different approach to potty training that follows the learning stages that all of us progress through when we learn how to do anything: modeling, exploring, teaching, automation. We hope you find answers to questions and the confidence you need to navigate potty training respectfully and successfully with your little ones!
