Certified Potty Training Consultant Northern Ireland and worldwide

Different cultures have different average ages to commence Potty Training. The video below explores in more detail. 

There are some Social, Emotional, Physical and Environmental factors which can influence Potty Training. 

However, these are not something we have to passively wait for. Instead I recommend that parents and caregivers use a technique called Potty Learning. Here we can support the child's natural motivation to engage in the Potty Training Process. 

Our approach is Child Orientated in that it supports parents and caregivers to support children inline with their own social, emotional, physical and environmental needs, but which also promotes these areas of child development.

Some children develop a fear of using the potty or toilet. This video explores this in more detail....

Many parents wonder if it is OK to provide a pull up during Potty Training. This depends on a number of factors which are explored in this short video.....

Are you worried about how to clean a potty or how to clean up potty accidents? Are you concerned about adding harsh cleaning chemicals to your home, but also want to ensure the potty and home remains hygienic? 

Here are some of our potty cleaning hacks: 

-Use reusable wipes or rags to clean the potty (much more effective than toilet roll)

-Spray the potty with a non-toxic cleaner. Colt &  Willow potty spray smells amazing! 

-Wipe again with a clean wipe 

-You can store used wipes in a wet bag. This keeps them away from other washing and means you can pop the whole bag in the wash without touching them again

 -If there have been accidents on clothes and sheets add them to the wash along with the wipes 

-If the clothes are soiled or very dirty do a rinse wash first 

-Then a second wash with washing powder (more effective than liquid tablets when potty training) and Bambino Mio Miofresh 

-Any remaining stains hang in the sun 

-For accidents try Thieves cleaner for floors and upholstery (follow the instructions of the cleaner)
