There’s a lot of stress around diapering and potty training—whether it's because of the “ick factor,” confusion about different potty training techniques, or guilt about the environmental impact of disposable diapers.
In this episode, Shazi speaks with Bethany Van Delft, a regular host of The Moth StorySlams and host of the kid’s news podcast The Ten News, about her experience potty training her two very different kids.
Shazi checks in with Andrea Olsen, founder of Go Diaper Free who successfully potty trained her kids from birth using a technique called “elimination communication” and coaches other parents to do the same.
We also hear from parenting expert, Mariel Benjamin, who breaks down simple potty training methods and techniques, including the three-day method and the shaping method, and reminds parents how diaper changes are the perfect time for brain-building connections with baby.
