Potty Training the Big-Hearted Way: A Stress-Free Approach to Ditching Diapers Dr. Cathryn introduces "lazy potty training" - a balanced approach that avoids both strict parent-led timelines and completely child-led methods. Key Points: Focus on creating a supportive environment rather than rushing the process Look for physical readiness signs (dry for 2+ hours, regular bowel movements . . .) Pre-potty training steps include modeling, normalizing potty use, and discussing body cues Use gentle guidance instead of pressure ("Do you feel like it's time to go pee?") Keep accidents low-key and praise effort rather than outcomes Dr. Cathryn emphasizes that this approach builds confidence, fosters body awareness, strengthens parent-child connection, and reduces constipation risks.
