How do I prepare myself and my child?

A relaxed beginning lays the foundation for a smooth process. You don't have to do everything right the first time, but a little preparation helps tremendously.

Make the subject visible

Set up a potty, read a book together or look at a poster.

Why this works: your child becomes familiar through play.

Plan a quiet starting moment

Choose a week without major changes or crowds.

Why this works: you have time and patience to guide yourself.

Talk positively

Say, "This is your potty, you can pee or poop in here."

Why this works: short, positive language provides clarity without pressure.

Adjust your expectations

Be prepared for mishaps and ups and downs.

Why this works: realistic expectations make you stay calm.

Think of it as an adventure together. Your positive attitude makes exercise fun for your child.
