The moment you see the connection happen (oh, you mean when my tummy hurts, I need to run to the potty and go) in your kid's eyes, you'll feel incredibly proud. You'll also feel like, yeah, I got this parenting thing down. Score one for us parents.
So let me help you find your way into poop heaven (I can't promise this will be my last poop joke), and give you a tried and true method to potty training in a weekend with all the essentials you need for success.
First, we need to break down potty training into three different steps: before, during, and after. While you may think the "during" part is the most critical, it's actually the preparation or before that's the key.
