Potty learning is something every child goes through, and how that journey unfolds looks very different across cultures and families around the world.
In the modern day western world, you’ll mostly hear that babies aren’t ‘ready’ to start learning potty skills until they are 2 or 3 years old. But babies are far more capable than we give them credit for.
I imagine you’re here as you have recognised that, and have chosen to explore another way. One that our ancestors practised, along with many other cultures throughout the world today, and the growing number of parents, child experts and institutes who are rediscovering and seeing the undeniable benefits of starting young.
This course is your path to feeling confident to potty your baby. No endless research or second-guessing yourself. Think of it as the warm hug of your ancestors’ wisdom — that knowledge about how humans have cared for babies for millennia — translated into clear guidance that works in real life.
I’ve gathered everything there is to know—from traditional practices to scientific research, to the real-life experience of myself and other parents.
You’ll discover how to make it fit with modern life and reconnect with your instincts. Let’s make this ancient wisdom feel second nature again.
