Looking to teach your child how to use the potty for the first time? Or have you tried, but were unsuccessful? As two pediatric therapists, we have successfully guided families in potty learning using an approach that works for their individual child and family. Let us guide your family next! Potty learning is a big milestone, but with so many methods out there—from three-day training to child-led approaches—it can feel overwhelming to figure out what’s best for your child. As pediatric professionals, we understand that every child and family is different, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t always work. Join us, a pediatric occupational therapist and pediatric speech-language pathologist team, for an informative webinar that takes the guesswork out of potty learning. Instead of following a rigid method, we’ll guide you through the developmental foundations of potty learning, and help you understand the skills your child needs to be successful. You’ll learn how to: ✅ Prepare for the process by recognizing signs of readiness beyond just age ✅ Choose an approach that fits your child’s personality, sensory needs, and communication skills ✅ Implement a plan that aligns with your family’s lifestyle and routines ✅ Support your child with strategies for common challenges like communication barriers, sensory sensitivities, and emotional readiness This course is designed to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to make potty learning a smooth and positive experience. No more confusion—just a clear, individualized path forward for your child and family!
