FOR INTENTIONAL PARENTS

Potty training can be a joy!

You can capitalize on this sweet window before opinions take over

Your toddler wants to be like you. Use that.  Learn how to set up the environment so using the potty becomes as natural as putting on shoes—something your toddler chooses because they're practicing being "big."

​

Instead of bribes, charts, or boot camps, this guide shows you how to work with your toddler's natural mimicry before the cooperative window closes.

"I loved the book!"

Reaction from an intentional parent

"OK, I loved the book!  It just made SENSE. I learned more from this book than all the previous potty training books combined.

​

The best part? It's not a novel—it's short, clear, and practical.

​

We've already started using these methods with our 16-month-old, and I truly believe we could have a potty-trained kid by age 2."

The Sweet Spot:

Why Ages 1-2 Are Easier Than You Think

Right now, your toddler is in a magical phase. They want to be like you. They follow you to the bathroom. They imitate everything you do. They're learning independence—but they're not fighting you for it yet.

 

This is the window most parents miss entirely. They think, "I'll wait until they can tell me they need to go." But by age 2.5 or 3, that cooperative mimicry is gone. Now you're negotiating with someone who's discovered the word "NO" and has opinions about everything.

What Makes This Stage Easier

Your toddler doesn't need elaborate explanations or rewards. They just need to see the pattern and be invited to participate. When you make the potty part of their environment—small, accessible, normal—they naturally start choosing it. Not because you trained them. Because they're copying you and practicing being "big."

My little guy out and about with me in undies at 19 months

That was the freeing reality we experienced in our life, and it's what I've shared in this guide.
