Join parent coach and sexuality educator Ashley Robertson as she sheds light on this developmental milestone and ways to create foundational trust and respect during this transition.
What does readiness mean? How can I be respectful of my child and hold consistent expectations? How can I teach consent and require my child to sit on the potty? How do I avoid shame for accidents? What are the actual skills I need to teach?
Through this workshop, participants will be able to:
~List signs of readiness for potty training
~List ways their individual style of parenting/child-rearing could affect potty training
~Be ready to use anatomically correct body part names aloud with children
~Know the parts of consent
~Internalize the rationale that a caregiver’s job is to keep kids healthy and safe as the only reasons why one would disregard a child’s consent
~Explain the roles of consistency and using simple language during this milestone
~Feel empowered to guide children through potty training (and other developmental milestones) as the expert

⏩ “I run a licensed childcare in Vermont and we have used Ashley for many years. Ashley provides the most comprehensive potty training program that we have found. We live in a time where there is a surplus of information and Ashley helps us to educate and guide parents and families through a complex transition time with ease, respect, and clarity. Time and time again parents report their deep love of Ashley’s training and how supportive it was to have everyone on the same page as we graduate children out of diapers and into the next phase of childhood. Our school first contracted with Ashley to create a cohesive, respectful consent-based approach to potty training in 2020 and we will continue to collaborate for many decades to come. Our families hadn't had any consent education before and always love it. Using Ashley's potty training model has been supportive to teachers, families, and the children themselves in making this transition as seamless as possible. I shout my joy about Ashley’s work each year to more and more local providers and I know that a few have also hired Ashley to provide trainings to other local Vermont programs. You can’t go wrong hiring Ashley to run workshops for you, 10/10 recommend!” -B.Q.
