Potty Training Advice in this video is adapted from the book “Let’s Get This Potty Started” by Dr. Heather Wittenberg. This is a Pre-Recorded Video of an online class. Potty training can test your patience & expectations, it can be repetitive, messy & frustrating. But caregivers can help children do this when they are ready! This program helps you look for and prepare for “readiness” and talks about ways you can help and support a child during this important milestone in their development.

There is a difference between discipline and punishment, and the two should not be confused. We will talk about discipline as structure & routine, communication & being our children’s role models. As parents, we want to build up our children’s positive behaviors and self-esteem, not break down all the wonderful aspects of their personalities and opportunities. Let’s talk about how we can start Positive Discipline in our homes today!

“After attending 1-2-3 Magic, Love & Logic and various other classes, there has been a night and day difference at home.
My son and I are able to resolve conflicts with little to no issue at all; transitions from one activity to the next, bedtime routines, etc. I am very pleased with the instruction and the results and have recommended these classes to friends and family with young children or who are expecting. Attending these workshops has been one of the greatest investments I’ve made which will last a lifetime. Thank you!”
