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 😊

[@chrislewis6574]

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!

[@lilianadejesus5321]

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.

[@Hannahfarrior]

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

Thank you for making this video. It’s nice to hear that other moms are going through the same thing.

[@hopebryant6752]

Wow the pushing versus pulling your pants down is a great point. I showed my 2.5 yr old to put his thumbs in the sides of his underwear and pull down. Most times he’s literally just pulling them and gets frustrated when he can’t get them down lol definitely going to start saying push instead. Great video! ❤️

[@makeup4evr1]

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

[@ninabntz2517]

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 🥲🥲🥲

[@jenniferlaymon848]

I'm grandma and have to keep my mouth shut. I did a little digging for videos and yours was the first. My daughter started on the 3 day (seemed a little different from this). Her Husband decided to start and some of the tips weren't done. Regardless, it's not been pretty. The frustration then leads to ...we were JUST ON THE POTTY!!! when the pee goes on the floor. I think being naked might really help. They went immediately to panties has made her still feel "confined". I did go out in a limb and send this video to her. I seriously told her to let her come stay the weekend with me and I'll have it done. Which, I know probably isn't possible. I just want to see if I can. 😂 thanks for your clear video. And enjoy those kiddos !

[@natashajames2301]

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

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.

[@lurgeegirl]

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!

[@theknittinkitten2954]

I'm quite literally still potty training my kid after a year. We've tried like everything and now we're starting over 😅

[@rohinikrishna7466]

@lurgeegirl - I'm in the exact same boat today as you were 6 months ago. My 28mo son on day 1 started his potty training with a big poop in the potty followed by a big pee (all of it) in the potty and said out loud- I did it mommy! And then held on to his pee until the next morning and now refusing to even sit on the toilet. 😢

[@lurgeegirl]

@@rohinikrishna7466 I hope it gets better for you soon! 6 months later and my 3yo is still not potty trained... I tried another naked day a couple weeks ago and she peed on a towel that was next to the hamper. I was glad she didn't pee all over the floor, but then later on that day she asked me to give her another towel to pee on, LOL! She knows she needs to pee but she just REFUSES to pee in the potty! She is super stubborn about it. She will sit on the potty for an hour watching Toy Story and then pee as soon as she gets off the potty. Super frustrating.

[@sophiewaistell8199]

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

[@Every1ShouldSparkle]

just wait. It shouldn't take months. He isn't ready yet and that's OK. Boys normally take longer.

[@rustynailcansycane]

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

[@sophiewaistell8199]

​@@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

[@jordynferrari4161]

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.

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Thanks for sharing! Starting at 14 months could give a better opportunity for a gradual process and I can see how that would work for some!

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.

[@Jami-y9w]

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.

I think in the book there’s a section on special circumstances that includes kids that are terrified of the potty.

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. 😂

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.

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?

[@aprilborchelt2422]

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

[@Nicolelelagreen]

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

[@butterflyjessica1]

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?

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!!!

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.

[@kate0913kme]

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 😂

3 days? I know a hard working mum who's been at it over a year. The kid gets it, but just isn't into it. Milestones like this are wildly variable. Any kid that's ahead, can become behind and vice versa. Comparison sets off the monster that is mum guilt. My own kid has proven this. Any mum watching vids and trying is a good mum. The bad ones are not trying, are not interested. It's OK to feel bad. This time if course will pass. Take it from a Dad, your beautiful kid can be a pain in the ass! Cough. Hurr.

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

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

[@izabelapiekarska3328]

@@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?

[@staceyhookins3433]

​@@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)

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]

I've always been so intrigued with starting them that younger but never researched it, amazing!

[@pamelavelez656]

@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!

This book is a bunch of crap! Especially when it comes to children with disabilities because it doesn’t cover children with speech disorders.

[@Nicolelelagreen]

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! 😊
