#136 5 Reasons to stick with the Potty Training Plan (even if you want to quit!)

Today's show is a guest post from our Certified Coach, Kate Falk, about 5 Reasons to stick with the Potty Training Plan (even if you want to quit!) and 5 Tips for getting through the hard parts. Kate offers A LOT of elimination communication and potty training classes and consultations and gets A LOT of parents who are ready to give up on potty training.

The number one reason clients schedule a consultation with her is that they're frustrated by potty training and/or they can't make sense of how to progress through the potty training process. They want to quit potty training because yes, potty training can be super challenging, at least parts of it. But somewhere deep down, the clients sense there's a light at the end of the tunnel, even if they currently don't see it, and that potty independence is a possibility.

Today's show contains what Kate has culled from many years of potty training coaching. She's going to share WHY you should stick with potty training (even when you want to quit) and exactly how to get through the most challenging parts of potty training.

(You may be reassured to know the majority of families who've done our Potty Training Plan had very similar questions and concerns. Parents got stuck on the same issues, and fortunately, the advice on how to proceed works for most families! Let's get YOU unstuck, too.)
