How does Kayla O’Neill’s approach to potty training readiness outperform traditional methods?

As a developmental therapist, my approach to potty training readiness is based on the child's interest and readiness, rather than a specific age or timeline. I believe that every child is unique and will show readiness in their own time and way.

Traditional methods often suggest starting potty training at a certain age, which can lead to frustration if the child is not ready. My approach encourages parents to look for signs of readiness in their child, such as interest in the toilet, ability to communicate about wet or dirty diapers, and curiosity about others using the bathroom.

This approach is more flexible and child-centered, which can lead to a more positive and successful potty training experience. It reduces pressure on both the child and the parents, making the process more enjoyable and less stressful.
