This is amazing. I love the potty training articles- they are so helpful and a great read. I think the one thing that has been the hardest has been potty training.

This has been so awesome to read- great interview! Thanks for sharing!

I think I prefer his answers to ones I often hear.

Lots of moms have different views on PTing than I have. Mine allows for A LOT of nekkid time. LOL. And I don't ever get angry if they make a mistake. I simply clean and tell him that it goes in the potty.

And I DO believe in introducing the potty at a young age. My oldest was in underwear at 2. We started training at 19 months. My little one ... we started training sooner at 18 months. And we have officially said buh-bye to diapers now at 19 months. When nekkid he will go in the potty on his own. When clothed I have to remind him! LOL! But it is SO WORTH IT.

I am going to write a post on this topic soon. :) I am proud of my little guys.

I have been meaning to leave you a comment all week but kept getting caught up in other things. Your interview with Dr. Preston Smith is outstanding. Man, I wish I had Dr. Smith when my son was little. It took us forever to potty train that little guy. Dr. Smith is one of the few, unfortunately, down to earth doctors that really have it together and provides his patients with the same advice he uses at home with his own children. This is a great man!

This is a great (and timely!) interview - thanks! We are just starting the process with our 18 month old by introducing him to the potty. Its funny that Dr. Smith mentioned a "poop party" because when we were training my now 4 year old (just before he turned 3), when he first pooped in the potty we took pictures and emailed them to our family - he was so proud! Thankfully I have an understanding family!

Great interview! I've just started working with my youngest, and can always use new tips. I love that he stresses that there is no "perfect" age (or technique). It seems like so many people expect your child to be trained so young, when they may not really be ready. My oldest was a little over 3 before she really had any interest, and now at 4 she is fully trained with very few accidents.

Great interview. We're at a difficult stage. My ...

Great interview. We're at a difficult stage. My son knows when he has to go to the bathroom but doesn't want to sit on the potty to do it. I guess I was waiting for a magic day when he would want to, but after reading the interview I'm thinking I need to do really push the idea. I love the idea of scheduled sitting on the potty.

I think that was a great interview! I like that you asked about BM's. My daughter wouldn't poo in the potty for 3 or 4 days when I potty trained her. She finally went in her panties after we went on a long walk-yuck! LOL! Anyway, besides juice, I think exercise helps it come out too! :-) I ended up dumping the poo in the potty as she watched, then sat her on the potty while explaining that's where she needed to go. She got it! :-)
