Is readiness age dependent?


No. The concept of "readiness" is a myth which was developed and promoted by disposable nappy companies.
Before disposables were invented, over 90% of kids were potty trained by 18 months.
Is earlier potty training harmful?


Potty training from 18 months has not been shown to be harmful. In fact, research evidence shows it's beneficial. Starting early means you finish early and save years of unnecessary nappy use.
Shouldn't we let babies be babies?


Babies are born with a very strong instinct not to soil themselves. In many countries, potty learning from birth is the norm and 50% of the world's babies are potty trained by 12 months.
Why should babies use a potty?


Potty learning from 0-18 months helps your baby develop good communication and body awareness. It saves nappies and is better for the environment.
It's hygienic, can reduce colic and is healthier for your baby's skin.
Should potty training be parent-led?


Parent-led potty training from 18m means you can do it earlier, and finish earlier. Working as a team with your child means you are supporting their innate need for mastery. You can use a gentle approach to honour this need.
How long does parent-led potty training take?


From 18 months, it takes around 7 days on average. No bribes, stickers or rewards. Just like your grandparents used to do.
Simple, quick, gentle.
