@Kasey it's soooo disgusting when men/ people do this kind of thing. It's literally poop particles in the air that people around are forced to inhale! It's NEVER FUNNY, I always look at the person doing the farting like they are the dumbest person I've ever met. If they feel dumb maybe they won't do it anymore. I know..... Fat chance but I can't help looking at them like that after the fact either way. 🙍‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙅‍♀️🤷‍♀️😖😡

She's on point with the "avoid the bells and whistles on a potty" suggestion. I have 3 kids. I bought my youngest an elmo potty that laughs, flushes, etc. It was nearly impossible to keep him focused on the task at hand. After a few days, I went and bought a simpler one. Worked so much better!

These tips were soooo helpful and practical! I feel more prepared to start training my 20 month old. Thanks!👍🏾😊

I was a Montessori kid! I'm 20 weeks pregnant and have been unschooling myself on respectful parenting and Montessori. So glad I found your channel :)

I’ve watched at least 6 of these now and as usual Ashley you’re the real MVP. Thorough and organized information. Thank you

Helpful about signs to look for. And good to know we needn't overly praise for doing what is expected.

Day 2 of potty training and just wanted to say that your videos have really helped our household a lot. Thank you for taking the time (and privacy!) out of your daily lives to give us awesome and helpful content!

I grew up in a Montessori elementary school and I loved it. Now I have a 15 month old and so excited to use these Montessori teaching methods as I guide my son into new phases! Thank you for the help!

My son was fully potty trained by 20MO . He’d bring a diaper for me to change him right before he pooped. I figured if he could tell me to change him right before he pooped , he could tell me to take him to the bathroom before he pooped .

Thank you for this! I finally committed to toilet training 4 days ago. On day 3 we had an accident and on day 4 my son stopped himself when he realized he was peeing and we quickly made it to the toilet! Keeping things simple IS the most affective way!

Just wanted to say thanks for posting videos about this. This is very helpful for raising my baby girl and I look forward to using the montessori environment and teachings for her as well. You do a great job explaining! :D

This is great!! I was doing a lot of this but you helped fill in the gaps.

Your confidence gives me confidence. Thank you for your amazingly helpful videos and for sharing your knowledge!

Also, your positive discipline video was God sent! It helped me sooooo much when I got my foster baby back and she had learned some "new" behaviors. I was able to correct the behavior using your positive discipline techniques, and I saw results within a week or less!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you soooooo much! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖💛💖💖

Thank you! This is so helpful as I was wondering how to potty train my boy without using the quick three day method that almost looked like a traumatic thing for the child in other videos. The only thing I would like to do differently is praise and celebrate when he learns to go. I think as adults it would be nice to praise and celebrate with each other when we accomplish things anyway. Maybe I need to learn more about the dangers of praising a child too much. I find it highly enjoyable to celebrate with my child so its hard for me to imagine letting that go.

I’ll be trying these tips with my daughter! Montesori techniques make so much more sense to me than other pieces of advice I’ve gotten. Thank you so much!

Thanks for this. This approach seems the best that I’ve ever heard. I’m going to try it out with my 14 month old!

youre my favorite mom on youtube your videos are SO helpful for this first time mom of a now 2-year-old thank you.

When I was getting my education degree we took a “what is your education style” quiz and I remember Montessori ranked third. Now I remember why it’s not #1. After raising 4 kids, I know that there is nothing wrong with praising your kids for doing things like going potty. No, no one cheers me on for going to the bathroom, but I do get praised for things like making dinner, deep cleaning the house, etc. Yes, that’s part of being an adult, but the same holds true for someone who goes to work; Raises, promotions, etc. potty training and cleaning up spills are part of my toddler’s chores but they still deserve a job well done. Otherwise, I enjoy some of the cute activities and your home set up! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

You can certainly ensure that your tone of voice is one of pride, and if you feel a need to praise, to do so without being excessive about it. A simple “thank you” also goes a long way for other things, instead of the highly overused “good job” that loses meaning after a while. Thanks so much for watching.

Yeah I totally agree! Like when my little guy finally waved at someone on his own and said hi, I was so happy and said good job. If he does something new and does it well, I want to praise him. When he does it for the 50th time I probably won't praise him lol. When I went to the bathroom for the first time after birthing him, I celebrated! And told my husband and he was so proud too! But yeah this vid was super helpful.

Really love the way you explain...simple, no complications

This is the best video about toilet training issues. I was looking something like that. Can't tell you how much you helped me regarding my child's toilet training process. Thank you so much for this help.

Thanks for these videos! We are slowly moving to a more minimalist lifestyle/home and these videos help me know what is a more practical way of approaching certain tasks.

Potty training #1 was definitely not my favourite thing to do as a parent but found it so much easier with baby #2! Thanks so much for sharing a great video :)

I love your channel. Thank you for being of service to parents and caregivers and most importantly our children ❤

Choked on my tea laughing when you said "Potty training isn't a magical three day process". I had just watched a few videos on it and felt dubious, so it just seemed perfect.

I watched a few other videos as well as the 3 day potty training ones before this and this just makes so much more sense and gives me more confidence in doing it with him rather than the anxiety I was getting with “I can’t do this in 3 days!” And I never even thought about a diaper cover over the underwear. And the signing, he won’t tell me verbally when he has to but he knows a bunch of signs so that would be easy to add.

We have been doing this with our baby boy and I was so surprised at how quickly he picked it up! Thanks so much for this video :) x

This is the tips i was looking for.. thank you!

I've been considering have a kid in the next 2 years or so and your giving me so many amazing parenting tips.

This is the most helpful video I’ve seen on Potty training

Looove this video! Starting our potty trainning today 😊🙌🏼 My notes: Staying dry Predictable times during the day A Sign Environment A place A Step stool A small potty seat (Going to the bathroom is not supposed to be intertaining. It's a natural thing) Small basket with just the essentials: toilet paper and clean undies. When going out: using pull ups might take a bit longer.. Try: Waterproof diaper covers or piddle pads for car seats and strolers, or a towel... Diapers at night time It's not a 3 day process Keep it simple and stress free: Put her in undies Lots of accidents for the first couple of days Take her every half hour Don't ask her if she wants to go, say "it's time to use the bathroom" instead Sit for a few minutes only, not for long Clean up together Montessori=natural consequence:) Acknowledge but no praising Hardest days are first couple of days. After that she'll get the hang of it, showing signs that she need to go bc she's verbal 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

@@HapaFamily our 3 year old is Potty training but will not tell us when he needs or is having a poo and is very good at disguising it. We only have him on weekends he sometimes tells his mum and nursery but is struggling with them too. He's been Potty training for a good month now. I always get him to tell me what he needs to do when he wants a poo. Say "I need the toilet". He's doing so well with wees. Ive only ever managed to catch him once part way through a poo and sit him on the toilet and even then he ended up doing more in his pants once we came downstairs. Any advice?

Thank you so much for making this! My 14 month old needed to air out his diaper area for 20 min x2 a day so we got him a potty so he could sit for that time. We didn't force it but he almost immediately started going. I quickly realized I wouldn't need to do those 3 day methods but had never heard of anything else!

I’m going to be looking into the books you’ve mentioned in other videos. My son definitely responds better to the Montessori methods and I’m so glad I found a way to handle his tantrums, and just peacefully raise him and avoid anxiety and unnecessary stress. He’s recently regressed with potty training so I’m going to work on this method tomorrow and for the weeks ahead and hopefully we’ll be good to go. No pun intended. Thanks ❤️

You are so welcome! And congrats on your new little one!! 🥰💕👏🏻

Great! Other readiness points are: confident independent walking & able to/almost able to take their pants and undies off and on. Also, when buying a potty/step stool, make sure the potty is low enough/step stool is high enough for them to keep their feet firmly planted on the ground/stool. This is important for easy bowel movements; preventing boredom/frustration/discomfort/constipation.

You’re a genius that I need more in my life. We haven’t even started potty training Ezzie. He’s starting to show signs of readiness though and I thought today, “I should really start investigating different types of toilet training.” And alas, here you are! So glad to have found your channel!

This straight talk and info had me subscribed to this channel😁

I really like when you count in months, it is helpful to be specific 🤗

I used this method with my first child and he was independent by 24 mos. I have another child who is 5 and still has accidents. Folks, if you try this method and it doesn't work after a few (or six) months, please don't make the mistake that I did and switch to a reward/punishment method. It turns out my second has neurological issues that prevent him from feeling when he needs to go. Be patient with your kids. Now I am setting out to potty-train my third and hoping it will proceed more smoothly than the last.

Great advice. Thank you.

Honestly, since I had my first baby girl 2 years ago, your channel were and still the most beneficial material I have ever came across in the Montessori approach. Thank you so so much, your advices had guided me through so many stages and phases, and the relationship we have developed me and my baby girl has been flourishing more and more thanks to this beautiful philosophy and way of raising and accompanying the child, il is full of modesty respect love and consciousness ❤❤ And the best part is that you make sound so realistic and faisable since you explain the essence and purpose behind every activity and encourage the parents to reach the goals with they have with no need what so ever to buy the best toys and products on the market. Because that is when a parent gives up totally when everything about Montessori becomes a matter of money and not that of attention and availability of the caregiver and the interaction with the current needs of the child. Thank you so much again for your beautiful contribution in this regard it is very much appreciated and helpful ❤ Love from Morocco 😊😊

Love this!

Thank you for making this video!

A game changer for my second son was setting him up for success. When he was a baby I started sitting him on the toilet after he woke up in the morning and after he woke up from nap. That was a natural time when he would always pee. I also signed toilet every time I took him and while he peed. I think that's what taught him the sensation of release while on the toilet. Eventually he started signing and asking to go unprompted. Then refusing diapers. We're not all the way there yet (he's two tomorrow!) but so so close and completely lead by him. We don't use little potties (the kids always want to play with them) and with my first I had to basically train him to use the little potty and then train him again to use the toilet. We have a potty seat but my youngest just uses a step stool and sits on the toilet backwards. Feels safe for him and he can get on and off independently.

I have a 15 month old niece and her mom asked me to watch your videos that are age appropriate for her little girl. I am very pkk look eased with your methods. Your videos are very helpful.

Thank you for this. I’m currently in the middle of potty training my daughter, she is 20 months. I didn’t do much research before I started potty training, I kinda just jumped into it. It’s day 3 of me trying and I am starting to think I’m not doing it right. I started to do a bit of research and keep seeing all of these “3 day potty training” videos. I felt like I’ve been doing everything wrong, but I didn’t want to give my daughter prizes for going pee. I just came across your video and I’ve been following all of these steps. My daughter is at the point now where she tells me she has to pee but we don’t always make it to the potty on time. I’m glad I got reassurance
