I don’t have children and never will, yet I watched this entire video and found it interesting. That’s an amazing accomplishment on your part that you can make this interesting for those it doesn’t apply to. Very creative of you to combine written and verbal to make this easier to retain and follow along!
Love that you mentioned to get 3 days out of our heads. It's really unrealistic! I really struggled with my first and it took months to get him #1 potty trained. We still get accidents with #2, so I'll try to lightly prompt him and use encouraging words (after #2 in toilet) to see of there's a change.
I hope you and your family had a very merry Christmas and I hope it was a great one! Happy new year to you and your family as well. Thank you so much for sharing your potty training journey and I hope everything‘s going good so far.❤️❤️ love you all
My 23 month old was 90% potty trained. The went camping. She was terrified of the potty in my aunts camper. She’s been struggling ever since. So we are going to start at block one today
This is so helpful thank you Nicole! me and my husband both work, which can be so hard potty training. I will definitely be using your tips :) ! ive tried the method where you sit your toddler on the toilet and my toddler doesn't approve lol, she says "all done" but no pee or poop. Your video really opened my eyes to the flaws in my method , so thank you very much!
We did this method in March. It worked great for us.. the audio book is great too.. but we did it and it was great and now it's done lol.. and no issues with daycare trying to kick us out at 3 because we got that information when my child went to the 2yo room
Thank you so much for this!!!! I said to myself before watching this is need to be more realistic. I need to not be too hard on myself and on her as well!! Thank you again
Thank you!! I’m going to start again.. I started with my oldest when she turned 2 but it was so stressful I couldn’t keep up just having another dependent baby on my hips is just hard.. but I’m going to try again probably in 2 weeks again 🙏🙏 She is so ready but I’m not 🥲🥲🥲
This was super helpful. I was in potty training hell a few weeks ago when I tried this with my 2.5 year old. I was following the big little feelings method which is remarkably similar to what you discussed in this video. It was honestly one of the hardest weekends of my life. She pooped in the potty on Day 1 which gave me a huge sense of false victory!! But after that it was just accident after accident and she would hold her pee for literally 9 hours at a time. Like a camel to the EXTREME!!! In the end it really boiled down to me needing to relinquish control and I just could not do it. I totally gave up by the end of the 3 days, threw the pullups back on her and haven't mentioned it again. So I know I'm going to have to do it all over... Your video gives me hope so I thank you for the motivation!
Thanks for all the tips! I did similar to this with my first after watching your video with your first. Perfect timing for my second. I had been prepping him that we were starting the day after Christmas. We are on day two. Haha. Got a ways to go but powering through!
Thank you for this video 😭❤️ you’ve inspired me to potty train my 19 month old. We’re almost done with week one and she’s FINALLY getting it 😭❤️ felt like crying sometimes but the hard work is paying off
My sister (who also works at our girls’ daycare) potty trained my oldest. She’s 3 1/2 now and rarely has accidents. She’ll have an accident if she waits too long to go, but thank GOD for my sister. ❤ now with my 1 year old, I’m hoping she continues to copy everything she sees her sister doing. 😂😂 if not we will definitely try this method.
Thanks so much for this video! Taking on potty training in January! Gianna will be 30 months exactly. We attempted in our own way at 24 months and were unsuccessful. Looking forward to trying these methods.
I just want to say I started potty training my son a couple days ago and I have already referenced your video like 10 times 😂 thank you for making this!!
It's nice that you've done this video. We have a 3 year old and he's still not fully trained after 4 months. We tried the 3 day method and it was horrific. Lots of tears and tantrums on both sides so we're going at his pace. We have mainly good days and he poos in the bath every night. Tried to place him on the toilet midpooing and he screamed. Every child is different and it's lovely to see that you guys have your own method that works for you! X
has he gone poop yet on the toilet? my three year old is scared to go poop in the toilet idk what to do he will only pee in the toilet. also he is scared of public restrooms
@@rustynailcansycanehi! Yes he poos on the toilet now and the potty! He's much better now and will tell me if he needs a wee. I think I was being too pushy, I just let him take control and he just did it! He was scared of public toilets because of the hand driers were loud but he's okay now. I think it helped him seeing us do it too. I know that's gross but it definitely helped! Just be patient, hope that helps! X
15:05 one thing we did was actually write down their poop and pee schedule…including accidents and when they go in their diaper during nap/bedtime. This gave us an idea of when they might need to go so that helped us plan…like for instance let’s say he sat on potty and pooped at…sat on potty and peed at…had an accident at…sat on potty and pooped….took a nap at and peed… We have found that actually helps us avoid accidents by a little bit because we know his schedule.
While I didn’t have that book for my first I pretty much did most of this and since it worked with my daughter I used the same method with my son. My daughter I had her in dresses all day and with my son we had him in loose briefs. Definitely agree no pull ups as much as possible.
This was just so real and uncut. You didn’t try to hide the fact that you didn’t adhere strictly to the method and I’m sure that is the reality for most of us. Kids don’t come with a manual. They come with a momual 😊
My mom said she put me on the potty chair with a cookie and put me in front of the TV to watch Batman.... That was 56 years ago, might be worth a try! 😊
Hello Parents Question: Full time worker both parents How did you handle after the weekend was over? I do have fam that my little one will stay with while we work but I don’t see them being ok with accidents in their home. Any advice ?
There's underwear for potty training that I have never tried so far and I know it's not recommended in this video but those might be helpful because it's not a diaper but it catches small mistakes. The kiddo still feels the discomfort of soiling themselves but it's not a big mess. I hope this helps! Good luck and Godspeed. I'm rooting for you and your little one.
I have three older children that potty trained in one day and never needed a pull up at night. I thought that my way of doing things was and then I was the queen potty training, but then I had another little girl gonna be four in August and when I try to put on the potty, she screams at somebody is murdering her let me get up, I know she has bladder control because when she’s in the pool, she gets out and asked you to put her diaper on so she can go potty. She’s afraid terrified I cannot figure out what is going on or how to fix it.
My son is in daycare, and I’ve read the chapter on daycare and caregivers. For some reason he’s just not telling the teachers when he needs to pee. I’m hoping this clicks soon and I’m hoping to drop the diapers at nap time.
And what do you do if your child does not want to be naked and it scares him more? I've tried everything I've washed every video I've followed almost all advices online and from friends and family and nothing worked.
Also with the small outings in block two, is the goal to just have them stay dry the whole time or pee/poop at the location? Lastly….with prompting, that’s equivalent to having them “try”? Like if you arrived to the location and have them go to the bathroom to start? The prompting confuses me haha
I think we night trained him while still in a crib. For block two they can totally pee at a location! And yes you can prompt by suggesting “it’s time to go potty” and see if they are ready to go
I really struggled with the 3 day potty training method. I have changed my methods with my second and she’s going #1 and #2 in the potty at 14 months. I just give her opportunities when I can. She claps and thinks it’s fun. I don’t think you necessarily have to clear your schedule and can make it a fun gradual process with EC. I think either method works but wanted to put out another idea for moms that get really stressed over the clear your schedule thing.
Day 1 my 20mo old got it! Day 2 no accidents. Peeing every time he's brought to the bathroom. Tomorrow we'll try underwear and hopefully teaching him how to let us know when he needs to go. We take him every 20 min for now. Sooo impressed how well this is going.
My almost 4 year old is still too petrified to do a poo on the toilet and asks me for a pull up when she needs one. I don’t know what to do about it especially because she starts school next year!!!
It’ll just click one day soon I’d bet. My daughter was just about 4 when she finally started getting it. I was so worried, but now I think it’s unfair to expect something of them if they’re truly not ready or scared. Hang in there! I promise it won’t last forever. ❤
@@JaclynSeymour you’ve just made me feel so much better! Thanks so much. I plan on potty training my 2 year old daughter next week so hopefully seeing her sister will encourage her 🙏🏻
I saw an idea from Emma Hubbard about allowing them to wear a diaper while sitting on the toilet to poop. And then eventually you cut a hole in the diaper/pull up so they feel secure but the poop actually goes in the toilet. And then gradually try without diaper. Anyway solidarity and hope you have success in the future!!!
Every kid is different my son didn't catch on until 4 and is still in pull ups at night. Don't stress they will get it! Plus our stress is a barrier once I let go and and didn't try, he did it! Hang in there!I always reminded him like "remember tell mommy when you have to go" and giving him that responsibility he really went with it.
I don’t understand….My daughter started at 23 months. She was doing good but then sometimes she tells me she wants to go pee and sometimes when she is playing, eating, watching tv, she doesnt tell me she needs because she is too distracted. She is now 25 months and still has accidents….What am I doing wrong?
Maybe during those specific times she's more distracted, try prompting a bit more often and actually asking if she needs to potty? Sorry you're having a hard time mama!
I tried potty training my first early because everyone I knew was doing it. I quickly learned that even if they “get it” they’re not fully potty trained the parent is! I also heard that if you do it too early it can cause it to take longer and be more regressions over time. Which we definitely experienced. My daughter was almost 4 by the time she got it down, and we still have an accident every once in a while. A mom of 6 gave me the best advice. She said she never potty trained any of her kids. She just put a potty out there and they did it when they were ready, because they aren’t going to grow up and still have to wear diapers as teens. 😂 so even if you’re not that extreme hands off, it made me feel better and I’m not going to do anything with my 2 year old until he’s going to be able to dress himself, and take himself without me reminding him. 😅 Otherwise I’m potty training myself again.
Interesting!! My daughter just turned 3 last month. And so far with everything I taught her it's been on her own terms. When she was ready to do so. And I feel like it's the same with the potty training. But I guess there is pressure to have your kid potty trained. It makes me feel like I'm not a good parent. But i was just saying what you mentioned even if they are potty trained not fully. My cousin works at the elementary school she said they have so many change of clothes for 1st graders with accidents in school. I was like, hmm. I don't feel too bad now 😂
EDIT: Read to the end of you want a chuckle. My daughter has ZERO TELLS I sat her on the potty chair when she was younger to see how she felt about it. Kind of see if it was the right potty chair for her. She chatted away for maybe a minute so I figured OK this will be great for when she's ready (she was a preemie and was not walking yet) I took her off and there was a full on man sized 💩 in there. I was like how can someone just deposit like that and also how on earth can a person make a 💩 half the length of herself??!! It was only good timing but wow just wow. 😂
Our first apartment was fully carpeted when we trained my first, definitely have a carpet cleaner spray for spot cleaning and designated towel. It’s definitely possible you got this.
i live in a fully carpeted apartment and stressing out over this 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ and an unhelpful alcoholic husband. We only have one small bathroom where i already set up her potty but my husband will lock himself up in there for hours or be peeing constantly due to him drinking alot.
There's underwear that's for potty training. They have a little bit of lining to help with the mess if there's an accident. It helps that kids because they feel the accident. Diapers and pull ups take the moisture away so fast. Just an idea. Good luck with everything and if you have to put a lock on the bathroom door and don't give him the key.
I have heard you can actually put their underwear under the diaper so they can feel the wetness& discomfort bt doesnt actually come out & I believe also asking multiple times a day could help & maybe putting the potty in the kitchen or laundry if ur hubby in the bathroom unnecessarily lol
I disagree with the pull-ups🤷🏻♀️ also even if it takes a bit longer it’s still worth it. Not only that but plenty of kids take a long time regardless of not having them on… just ruins ur furniture and sanity and makes ur kid more frustrated
Def pros and cons to both. My daughter is still in 50% pull ups 50% undies and it’s prolonging the poop issue specifically but at least it’s less mess to clean 🤷🏻♀️
I start potty training at 4-6 months. You learn their body language, and you plop them on the toilet. Sit there, holding them until they go. 😊 it becomes a pattern, and they begin to tell you.
@Nicolelelagreen you definitely should. Start with baby #3. You'll notice when she starts to push while in her diaper. Take it off and sit her on toilet. It's something she'll get used to after that week and will eventually look at you and wait for you to take her. It's a habit. Start with the pooping, it's hard for their bladder to hold, I'm only referring to when they poo, not pee. But eventually they'll do it all!
TBH I have never unserstood potty training. Children will learn once they are physically and mentally ready. Every child is different. Why force it? Our daugher was 2,5 yo when one day she decided not to wear a diaper. We made potty avaiable for her at the age of 1,5 and read books on the subject. We encouraged her to try but accepted when she didnt want to. Never left naked or anything like that. I guess every culture is different. Anyway good luck ☺️
Sometimes you don't have a choice. Here in France kids must go to school the year they turn 3 by law and they must be potty trained. So some kids have to be potty trained at 2 years and 9 months
@@staceyhookins3433 is it school or pre-school? In Poland pre-school starts at the age of 3 but is not mandatory. If a child is enrolled with pre-school also can not wear diapers.
@@staceyhookins3433 what happens in the case of a child that was very premature? My daughter was 4 months early and has clubbed feet so only just started walking at 2½. I'm just curious about the other countries and cultures as any information is super helpful. I'm from the US. Do the children have to be fully potty trained with no accidents at all? Is there a homeschooling option?
@@ThirstyBaconfrom what I know a premature child would have to start the year they turn 3 too. Basically they have to go to school whether they are potty trained or not by law, but at the same time teachers dont want to accept them if they are not potty trained but by law they can't turn a child away. But they tell you they don't have changing facilities on site and they are not there to change a child. But they are constantly telling the kids to go to the toilet and usually they all get the hang of it on the first week or so. You can homeschool under exceptional circumstances but recently it mostly became illegal due to it being associated with religious families teaching their children at home and radicalisation (Religion is not taught at school in France)
Thank you so much for this !!! 🥹😭 I really appreciate that. You’re very detail oriented and gave so many details but you’re also very real about hey This is what worked for you even when you didn’t follow everything perfectly.
I don’t have children and never will, yet I watched this entire video and found it interesting. That’s an amazing accomplishment on your part that you can make this interesting for those it doesn’t apply to. Very creative of you to combine written and verbal to make this easier to retain and follow along!
Haha this is a major compliment 😅 so happy to hear because I always get nervous that talking head videos are too boring! Appreciate you 😀
🥰🇷🇴❤️👂🏻👂🏻
I thought the way you talked about the method, while also making a sort of slideshow on the butcher paper of the major points, was so cool!
Love that you mentioned to get 3 days out of our heads. It's really unrealistic! I really struggled with my first and it took months to get him #1 potty trained. We still get accidents with #2, so I'll try to lightly prompt him and use encouraging words (after #2 in toilet) to see of there's a change.
this was so incredibly HELPFUL, thank you so so much! thank you for taking the time to put this together!

Hello Parents
Question:
Full time worker both parents
How did you handle after the weekend was over? I do have fam that my little one will stay with while we work but I don’t see them being ok with accidents in their home.
Any advice ?

It's been 7 days and he's not ready to sit on the potty seat I'm still on block 1😢..plz help
I’m reading this book too! I’m not sure on the night time part though…was Jace in a crib when you night trained? Or did you wait till he had a bed?
Also with the small outings in block two, is the goal to just have them stay dry the whole time or pee/poop at the location?
Lastly….with prompting, that’s equivalent to having them “try”? Like if you arrived to the location and have them go to the bathroom to start? The prompting confuses me haha
I think we night trained him while still in a crib. For block two they can totally pee at a location! And yes you can prompt by suggesting “it’s time to go potty” and see if they are ready to go
This video was really helpful! I will kindly advise, please don’t put any extra liners or anything on a car seat. It’s not safe 😊
I had 5 children. Before i went to bed id walk them to the toilet they did a wee. They were fine in morning xx
Side note..your hair is beautiful❤
Thank you so much 😀

I tried potty training my first early because everyone I knew was doing it. I quickly learned that even if they “get it” they’re not fully potty trained the parent is! I also heard that if you do it too early it can cause it to take longer and be more regressions over time. Which we definitely experienced. My daughter was almost 4 by the time she got it down, and we still have an accident every once in a while.
A mom of 6 gave me the best advice. She said she never potty trained any of her kids. She just put a potty out there and they did it when they were ready, because they aren’t going to grow up and still have to wear diapers as teens. 😂 so even if you’re not that extreme hands off, it made me feel better and I’m not going to do anything with my 2 year old until he’s going to be able to dress himself, and take himself without me reminding him. 😅 Otherwise I’m potty training myself again.
Interesting!! My daughter just turned 3 last month. And so far with everything I taught her it's been on her own terms. When she was ready to do so. And I feel like it's the same with the potty training. But I guess there is pressure to have your kid potty trained. It makes me feel like I'm not a good parent. But i was just saying what you mentioned even if they are potty trained not fully. My cousin works at the elementary school she said they have so many change of clothes for 1st graders with accidents in school. I was like, hmm. I don't feel too bad now 😂
Nothing to do with the topic 🤭
But…
Looooove your background
Doing great mama
EDIT: Read to the end of you want a chuckle.
My daughter has ZERO TELLS I sat her on the potty chair when she was younger to see how she felt about it. Kind of see if it was the right potty chair for her. She chatted away for maybe a minute so I figured OK this will be great for when she's ready (she was a preemie and was not walking yet) I took her off and there was a full on man sized 💩 in there. I was like how can someone just deposit like that and also how on earth can a person make a 💩 half the length of herself??!! It was only good timing but wow just wow. 😂
😂😂😂
*sends to husband knowing he won’t read the book either*
lol maybe he’ll just watch this video
You look sooooo freaking cute in red mama!!!!
Haha thank you!! Been obsessed with the color analysis theory lately and testing out my colors 😉
Thanks ! No need for me to read the book
We're on one month. It's killing me.
You got this! Can only go up from here!
I'm almost at 3 weeks with this method. 21 months old. Day 2 I cried so hard. It's getting easier to deal with but going to stay positive. ❤
This wouldn’t work at our place because we have we carpets. 😕
Our first apartment was fully carpeted when we trained my first, definitely have a carpet cleaner spray for spot cleaning and designated towel. It’s definitely possible you got this.
So you moved on to step two before she pooped in step one?
i live in a fully carpeted apartment and stressing out over this 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ and an unhelpful alcoholic husband. We only have one small bathroom where i already set up her potty but my husband will lock himself up in there for hours or be peeing constantly due to him drinking alot.
Same! Pull ups! Lots of prompts! It a lot less stressful
@@lindseymilliron8151 thank you ❤️❤️
There's underwear that's for potty training. They have a little bit of lining to help with the mess if there's an accident. It helps that kids because they feel the accident. Diapers and pull ups take the moisture away so fast. Just an idea. Good luck with everything and if you have to put a lock on the bathroom door and don't give him the key.
I have heard you can actually put their underwear under the diaper so they can feel the wetness& discomfort bt doesnt actually come out & I believe also asking multiple times a day could help & maybe putting the potty in the kitchen or laundry if ur hubby in the bathroom unnecessarily lol
I disagree with the pull-ups🤷🏻♀️ also even if it takes a bit longer it’s still worth it. Not only that but plenty of kids take a long time regardless of not having them on… just ruins ur furniture and sanity and makes ur kid more frustrated
Def pros and cons to both. My daughter is still in 50% pull ups 50% undies and it’s prolonging the poop issue specifically but at least it’s less mess to clean 🤷🏻♀️

I start potty training at 4-6 months. You learn their body language, and you plop them on the toilet. Sit there, holding them until they go. 😊 it becomes a pattern, and they begin to tell you.
I've always been so intrigued with starting them that younger but never researched it, amazing!
@Nicolelelagreen you definitely should. Start with baby #3. You'll notice when she starts to push while in her diaper. Take it off and sit her on toilet. It's something she'll get used to after that week and will eventually look at you and wait for you to take her. It's a habit.
Start with the pooping, it's hard for their bladder to hold, I'm only referring to when they poo, not pee. But eventually they'll do it all!
TBH I have never unserstood potty training. Children will learn once they are physically and mentally ready. Every child is different. Why force it? Our daugher was 2,5 yo when one day she decided not to wear a diaper. We made potty avaiable for her at the age of 1,5 and read books on the subject. We encouraged her to try but accepted when she didnt want to. Never left naked or anything like that. I guess every culture is different. Anyway good luck ☺️
Sometimes you don't have a choice. Here in France kids must go to school the year they turn 3 by law and they must be potty trained. So some kids have to be potty trained at 2 years and 9 months
@@staceyhookins3433 is it school or pre-school? In Poland pre-school starts at the age of 3 but is not mandatory. If a child is enrolled with pre-school also can not wear diapers.
@@izabelapiekarska3328 it's called maternelle, but it's mandatory.
@@staceyhookins3433 what happens in the case of a child that was very premature? My daughter was 4 months early and has clubbed feet so only just started walking at 2½. I'm just curious about the other countries and cultures as any information is super helpful. I'm from the US.
Do the children have to be fully potty trained with no accidents at all? Is there a homeschooling option?
@@ThirstyBaconfrom what I know a premature child would have to start the year they turn 3 too. Basically they have to go to school whether they are potty trained or not by law, but at the same time teachers dont want to accept them if they are not potty trained but by law they can't turn a child away. But they tell you they don't have changing facilities on site and they are not there to change a child. But they are constantly telling the kids to go to the toilet and usually they all get the hang of it on the first week or so.
You can homeschool under exceptional circumstances but recently it mostly became illegal due to it being associated with religious families teaching their children at home and radicalisation (Religion is not taught at school in France)
This book is a bunch of crap! Especially when it comes to children with disabilities because it doesn’t cover children with speech disorders.
Maybe there’s a great book out there specifically for kids with disabilities. My children don’t have any so I personally found this book helpful! 😊
Thank you so much for this !!! 🥹😭 I really appreciate that. You’re very detail oriented and gave so many details but you’re also very real about hey This is what worked for you even when you didn’t follow everything perfectly.
Glad it was helpful!
