Fantastic

We followed the potty training course and we now have a fully potty trained 3 year old!! We had been having trouble when we tried before but this time he cracked it and it's now using the toilet independently with ease. Would highly recommend!

This course is very easy to navigate and simple to follow along with. We are yet to complete the course but I'm finding the mixture of videos and text really helpful to learn from. I like that I can go back to parts of the course I've already covered. I highly recommend this course.

Great tool for understanding the mechanics of potty training, it laid out step by step how to prepare for and then undertake the training.
Each step is in a clear, easy to access module you can work through and review at your own pace.
I loved the videos combined with text. It made the whole process calm and easy for us! Thank you!

I found the potty training course very informative. I personally don't particularly enjoy the videos and prefer to read through the content, but I think the option of videos is great for those that benefit from them.

We are about half way through potty training using the course and it's currently going well. I like how easy it is to pop back and see previous sections on the course if I forget something. So far we are pretty successful and I think it is mostly down to the tips and information I've learnt here

This is the perfect guide for those starting out with potty training for the first time. Has literally everything you could possibly need, including troubleshooting for those times when things aren’t going to plan.

My situation is a little different as I have a child who has been struggling with potty training for a long-time. Although most of it I had tried before, there were definitely aspects that I have taken away which I hadn’t thought of or tried.

If you are a first time potty trainer, this guide is ideal. Broken down into really digestible chunks and you can revisit sections whenever needed.

Very thorough guide

We are about halfway through the course currently.

I like that you can go back and view the materials, there are downloads to also help with your potty training journey.

The course is split into small steps to guide you through so you are not overwhelmed with information at once.

We will be beginning potty training soon and will be following the guide!

A great course to get started with potty training…

Really like the format of the course and how each section is easily broken down in to very short videos/reading. I’d have loved more subtitles on the videos for times I wasn’t able to watch with sound on.
Although we aren’t at the point of training just yet, I do feel much more prepared for it and love the fact I can come back to the materials as a refresher when needed.

Thank you for your positive feedback on the course format and structure.

Regarding your request for more subtitles, we understand the importance of accessibility and convenience and are actively exploring ways to include subtitles that complement our video designs without detracting from the written content.

We appreciate your input and are glad you value the ability to revisit the materials as needed. Thank you for helping us make our course better for everyone.

Potty training beta tester review

I was a beta truster for the potty training course. There is a lot of content to go through and it's detailed. It is slightly repetitive. There were videos for the first sections but then no videos. I would recommend for a first time potty trainer if you have the time to go through the content.

Thank you for your feedback and for being a beta tester for our potty training course. We are glad to hear that you found the content detailed and helpful for first-time potty trainers as this is our primary aim.

We strive to make our course not only informative but also quicker and more engaging than traditional books. With 39 lessons in the course, we include videos in 32 of them. The 7 lessons without videos were designed this way because we felt that video content wasn't necessary to effectively convey the information in those specific sections.

We appreciate your comments on the repetitiveness and will review the content to see where we can streamline the information to enhance the learning experience. Thank you for your recommendations and time to write a review.

Informative and useful tool to take the pressure off of PT

When i started this course, I initially thought my little was ready to potty train and had intended on completing it throughout the Easter holidays. However after going through the courses readiness section have realised that actually they are not quite ready to attempt it yet.

I have found the course very informative and easy to follow, each step is broken down into easy to manage steps and the inclusion of the videos made it very easy to retain the information.

By including the readiness section it allowed me to understand the signs i needed to look for and ensure that i wasn't attempting it too early.

I also found that as a first time solo parent i was able to build some self confidence for the task at hand from the course, I feel i now have the knowledge and tools to begin potty training my little hopefully in the summer holidays.

Although the course recommends completing it in a tighter timeframe i personally think the information provided can be applied to whatever timeframe you intend to use to complete potty training by dragging out each step to meet your childs needs.

Rather than feeling apprehensive and anxious about potty training, thanks to this course i am now feeling much more confident and informed about retrying when my little is fully ready.

Not for those actually struggling to potty train

A lot of work has gone into this course and it's easy to read and follow. If you have a normal, easygoing kid who's aged about 18 months-2.5 and you want to follow a potty training method including rewards and sticker charts then this might be helpful for you. But personally, I didn't read anything I haven't read before and I didn't agree with a lot of the methods.

It also required you to be able to take a full week 1-1 with your child, which is just not feasible for most people.

Modern research has shown that most kids do not learn to potty train in one intensive week, which is what this is relying on.

I found the videos visually irritating, just scrolling stock photos.

As a parent of a strong willed child who has been attempting to potty train for two years this was unhelpful to me. As I said, if you have an easy child and are looking to start training for the first time maybe you'll get on with it.

Really hate to be negative, I know someone has put work into this and I don't want to minimise that. I just can't pretend I found it helpful.

Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and we would like to address a few points you have raised.

Our course is primarily aimed at parents who are at the beginning stages of potty training neuroptypical children- which is stated in our course details. It is designed to provide a foundation for those just starting out, not necessarily for those who are well into the process and encountering significant difficulties. The advice and methods presented in the course are grounded in well-researched child development principles and have been successfully tested on hundreds of children as well as providing options if parents cannot follow the main recommendations. However, we understand that potty training can present unique challenges, particularly with children who have not successfully potty trained over a longer period for a variety of reasons. Given these complexities, a potty training course would not be suitable for wide applicability required for parents of these children. In such cases, bespoke hands-on help or medical monitoring is often more appropriate.

We acknowledge your feedback regarding the video imagery and will certainly consider this as we strive to improve the course.

We are sorry to hear the course did not meet your needs, especially given your situation. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we take it seriously as part of our commitment to supporting all parents and guardians in their potty training journey. We will keep your comments in mind as we continue to develop and refine our resources.

Again, thank you for your review. We are grateful for your acknowledgment of the effort put into creating this course and are committed to making it as effective and accessible as possible for everyone embarking on the potty training journey.

Fantastic Parenting Courses, Instrumental in Potty Training My Son

I recently completed the Potty Training on demand course offered by Expert Parent and it was a game-changer. The course not only offered informative and practical advice, but by following the steps outlined, I successfully (and very quickly!) potty trained my son. It even provided solutions to overcome issues I encountered with potty training at nursery. Additionally, Expert Parent’s Preparing to Parent course was instrumental in readying me for my parenting journey, offering invaluable advice for those crucial early days. I cannot recommend Expert Parent highly enough for any parent looking for grounded, practical advice that works.
