#160 The Unexpected Benefits of Early Potty Training

#160 The Unexpected Benefits of Early Potty Training

Today's episode is a guest post from Go Diaper Free Certified Coach Tracy Gillett, who blogs at Raised Good and teaches parents EC (and many other things) in the Vancouver area of British Columbia, Canada. Here's an excerpt:

"I read about Elimination Communication (EC). It blew my mind. I remember my husband's raised eyebrows when I told him about it. Was this a step too far? Could a helpless little baby seriously pee in a potty?

But it made sense. And it felt natural. After all we're the only species in the animal kingdom using diapers. It didn't take much to convince us. We were intrigued and had to try it.

But something I read didn't make sense. The suggestion was that the most important element of EC isn't actually potty training but, communication.

What were they talking about?, I wondered.

In our fast paced, have-everything-now world, isn't the purpose of EC to reach potty independence quickly? To reach the finish line, avoid misses, and get out of diapers as soon as humanly possible?

That's what I assumed. But I was wrong."

Enjoy the rest of Tracy's story in today's episode!
