DO I REALLY NEED A
POTTY TRAINING COACH?
Simply put: A Coach helps you move further, faster
You may be wondering,
“Is Miss Jen’s Potty Training Coaching personalized or a generic potty program?
Every child is different, and potty training doesn't always follow a one-size-fits-all plan. My coaching is personalized to your child's unique needs, individual personality, age &developmental stage, and the specific challenges you're facing.
Rather than simply handing you a generic list or map to follow, I help you identify the tools and strategies that make sense for your child and your family. Together, we'll create a practical plan you can feel confident putting into action.
What Problems Can a Potty Training Coach Help With?
Potty training can feel especially challenging when your child is resisting or afraid, you're unsure where to begin, or you've hit a roadblock and don't know what to try next.
I can help you better understand what's happening and determine practical next steps for challenges such as getting started, potty resistance, setbacks and regressions, accidents, poop-related challenges, toileting anxiety, and other roadblocks that may be making potty training feel overwhelming.
The goal isn't simply to tell you what to do.
It's to help you understand what your child needs and how you can move forward with confidence.
What Happens During a Potty Training Consultation with Miss Jen?
Your initial one-hour consultation call with Miss Jen gives you dedicated time to talk through your child's potty training situation, time your time, ask questions, troubleshoot challenges, and get immediate personalized guidance & recommendations.
During your private 60-minute phone consultation, Miss Jen will listen to what's happening with your current challenges, answer your questions, provide recommendations tailored to your child's needs, and help you develop a clearer plan for moving forward.
Does Miss Jen work virtually?
Yes, phone call, video, face-to-face, Zoom, Facebook Messenger you pick! Video consultation is available for a small fee.
Is it one-time consultation or ongoing support?
Some families choose a one-time consultation to start with, when they just need immediate answers or expert guidance. Most families prefer ongoing support through one of the long-term coaching plans. For more complex cases, long term support is usually most beneficial. Either way, the goal is to help you feel less overwhelmed and more confident about what to do next.
DO I REALLY NEED A COACH FOR THIS? _______________________________________ We all need support sometimes! You may need support during this season of your life, whether it be support from a spouse, or another parent, a caregiver, your Mom, a friend or a COACH! By definition, a coach is: "an experienced professional who supports a client and provides help and guidance as a team player. They are a mentor - someone to guide you and cheer you on when things get tough". You deserve a little guidance and support during this challenging milestone of your child's life. This toddler potty training stuff is HARD! So, whether you need a little assistance or some big-time hand-holding… I’m here to help you achieve your toddler potty training GOALS! I will help you figure out the right tools and methods you need for your child’s specific needs, and I’ll help you come up with a customized step-by-step, play-by-play game plan! The ball is in your court!
WHAT IS MY COACH APPROACH? _______________________________________ I will help, coach, support & guide you through all the steps necessary to help your child understand how to use the potty and master this new milestone - the very important life skill of toileting! As a professional nanny and a child caregiver for over 39+ years, I have learned to love and care for babies and nurture the growth and development of newborns, infants, and toddlers. I have always had the gift of empathy and being able to see things through the eyes of a child. _______________________________________ I’m blessed with the innate ability to emotionally put myself in their “shoes” and relate to the child on their level. I genuinely feel & understand their perspective, and I personally experience their precious point of view. After spending so much quality one-on-one time with toddlers and enjoying this process for so many years (decades!) I have learned the ability to think like a toddler. What goes on in their mind. What their fears are, their joys, and their wonderment when exploring and discovering new things, as well as their fears & hesitation to try new things. I’ve learned to see why they do the things they do and why they think the way they think. My approach is gentle, non-aggressive, yet persuasive. I’ve been called “The Baby Whisperer” my entire life, even as a young teen babysitter back in the 1970’s. To this day, I still regard that as the highest compliment. ________________________________________ I take my work with children very seriously because I know the impact an adult can have on them and their impressionable minds. They rely on us, they depend on us, and they trust us to guide them and teach them. As adults - being their role models, we teach them things without even trying to - sometimes without even knowing we’re doing so! Toddlers are smart and sensitive little beings - they pick up on things we may not necessarily want them to. This is how I have modeled my approach to helping thousands of toddlers learn the very important life skill of toileting! My potty training approach is exactly that - it is training & conditioning. A child needs to be taught and trained. Because toileting is not innate. It isn’t automatic. We're not "born with it"! Toddlers need our guidance, support, and a lot of cheering on! They need coaching! _______________________________________ My coaching approach is simply that! Cheering them on with praise, rewards, and positive reinforcement! I help coach and guide YOU through all the steps necessary for you to help your toddler understand how to use the potty. My approach is non-aggressive, I allow the process to happen in their time and on their terms. I always recommend encouraging your child with positive reinforcement and praise! No scolding, no yelling, no punishments. We want to help our toddlers by building positive associations with toileting. I’m happy to be your very own, personal potty training COACH!
HOW CAN WE CONNECT? ______________________________________ Your initial consultation appointment can be a phone call or face-to-face video chat. Follow-up correspondence is usually text messages, voice messaging, Facebook Messenger and emails. You get to choose. It’s completely up to you depending on which plan you select! You get to decide which method of communication is most convenient and effective for you! Do you prefer a little more hand-holding and guidance? Daily check-ins for accountability? Or do you need some space? Time to work through things and check in as needed? You set the pace! How we connect is completely up to you. Phone call or face-to-face video chat. You pick. You get to choose which method of communication is most convenient and effective for you! I know you are a busy parent and you have your hands full! Your time is very valuable. We can make it quick, or we can take all the time you need depending on which plan you choose. ________________________________________ I will follow your lead, and we will go at YOUR pace during your potty training progress! I never book back-to-back appointments so you’ll never feel rushed. Most of my toddler potty training mommies opt to have their consultation appointment while the little ones are napping or after they are in bed for the night. So you can relax, avoid distractions, take notes, and really focus on our conversation and ask questions. Schedule your consultation appointment for the middle of the day while you sip on a cup o’ tea for a mid-day coffee break caffeine pick-me-up. Or relax and unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine in the evening after the house is quiet, and everyone is tucked in bed for the night. Let’s talk! _____________________________________ This is YOUR time… Either way, you can feel comfortable knowing that I will be there for you and your potty training needs, pen in hand, taking notes diligently and listening to you with an open mind and an open heart. I’m here to help you navigate through this chaotic time in your life: your toddler potty training journey.
HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE? ______________________________________ It’s entirely up to you. It all depends on how much time and commitment you’re willing to put into potty training your child. All of my clients are completely satisfied and very motivated and excited after we finish our first conversation, and they report back to me within 24 hours that they immediately began to see results and progress within the first day! I’ve only had one client come back after a month seeking additional support with potty training due to some medical issues. _______________________________________ So to answer the question: Most Mamas are well on their way to being done with potty training within a week! Some are seeing immediate success right after we hang up the phone! How long this process takes is absolutely 100% up to you. It all depends on how much time and commitment you’re willing to put into it. How much time you are able to dedicate to your toddler’s potty training program. It’s best to kick off potty training when you have a few days in a row at home with your child. Like a 3-day weekend, spring break, holiday break, summer vacation, etc. ______________________________________ I’m here to help you and coach you along the way. I’ll be there to cheer you on and help you manage your time! But ultimately, the ball is in your court! It’s up to you, your schedule, and your willingness to follow through. Every family is different. Every child is different. They all learn in their own time. It’s up to us adults as a TEAM to help your child learn quickly and effectively to avoid potential potty training regression in the future.
