OH CRAP! your guide to potty power struggles

what is the hard part about potty training? The fact that you cannot make pee or poop come out of a toddler’s body. It simply cannot be done. Couple that with the fact that you are dealing with a pint size dictator who craves control and independence and wants to be in charge of e-ve-ry-thing! #disaster The second your kid feels potty pressure from you, a little alarm bell goes off in their head that shuts down reason and triggers all things resistance: NO! NO! NO! And once they get in that headspace – it’s game over, baby. Can you relate?

so, this section isn’t intended to teach potty training from scratch – that is another course altogether. This section applies to a toddler who is already, kind-of, more or less potty trained… but is resistant to it. It aims to keep you sane by helping you dodge those very frustrating potty power struggles.
