Frequently asked questions
Maybe you’re wondering the same things we wondered at the start.
Does this use the 3-Day Method?
Yes, and no. We cover several popular methods, with the pros and cons of each and what we recommend. Whichever you choose, you get a complete set of resources to make it as smooth and painless as possible. Take 3 days, take 30 days. We’re here to help.
Will this help me if I’ve already started?
Yes. Whether you’re just starting to think about potty training or you’ve tried and you’re struggling, this is for you. It’s designed for any parent and child getting through this milestone.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every guide, article, and video on this site is free to use. No account, no sign-up.
Why did you make this?
We wanted simple, reliable resources for tired parents. When our first kid was ready, we found few useful resources besides “read another book,” and we just can’t read a book at every milestone. We also wanted to bring some fun and whimsy to a stressful time. And we wanted to help parents see the opportunity here: it’s the first time your child takes charge of their own body, and you get to be their source of help along the way.
