Potty Time! is a warm and practical guide crafted for new parents and caregivers who want potty training to feel like a positive journey rather than a stressful challenge.

Each purchase includes: 1. lifetime access to the Flipbook version and a 2. PowerPoint copy for educators.
Every child develops at their own pace. This book emphasizes patience, consistent routines, and gentle encouragement as the best path to lasting success.
Over 20 years of experience have revealed three key truths:
"Potty training is a rite of passage that’s both practical and emotional. This guide shares what I’ve learned helping families with simple routines that reduce stress, gentle language that builds confidence, and tracking tools that reveal helpful patterns. Celebrate tiny victories and remember setbacks are normal. With kindness and persistence, most children grow confident and independent." — Teacher Emil Antoan
