There’s a reason they call it potty "training": this important developmental milestone takes time, patience and intention. But no matter what strategy families choose, it’s easy to fall into common traps that can slow progress—or lead to big power struggles. During this webinar, early childhood development specialist Catherine Lessman (aka "Miss Catherine") will walk through the most frequent potty training missteps (like starting too soon, reacting to accidents with frustration or comparing your child to others) and offer simple, evidence-based alternatives to keep the process positive and effective.


 

What we'll discuss: 

  • The most common potty training mistakes—and how to avoid them

  • Why timing matters (and what to do if your child isn’t ready yet)

  • How to handle setbacks and
    accidents with empathy, not stress
