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.
