Join Potty University and Make 2020 a Diaper Free Year
without tantrums, pleading, spending hours in the bathroom, or months of managing accidents.
When you join Potty University, you will learn how to potty train your toddler while keeping your sanity.
Chances are, you'll have some fun too.
- You'll know whether you're child is "ready."
- You'll know what equipment to use and why.
- You'll skip past all the mistakes and obstacles that stop so many parents and go right to a proven process that works.
- You'll make a plan for your individual child with feedback from experts because unlike most of the advice you'll get on potty training, one size does NOT fit all.
With all the conflicting advice on potty training your toddler, it can be tough to feel confident about how to help.
We've been there...
My name is Dr. Amanda Keating, and I'm a licensed psychologist, board certified behavior analyst, and a mom.
I help parents feel confident about their toilet training.
After years of working with children and adults with developmental disabilities to achieve independent toileting, I began helping everyday moms and dads potty train their toddlers in as little as 3 to 4 hours.
I thought working with individuals who threw poop, spent years in diapers, or who engaged in fecal smearing were going to be my biggest challenges. Surprising though, my biggest challenge, was my own child.
I had hoped, he'd just take to it. Some do. He didn't. He hated the bathroom, the mini potty we bought him, and the noise of the toilet flushing. The paper, however.... he loved it- for everything but his bottom.
But, I was lucky, and once I got my head in the game, we were ready. I already knew how to "play" our way to toileting success. We went from diapers to independent toileting in less than a weekend.
There's no reason you can't enjoy and celebrate the achievement of potty training, just like first steps or first words.
We've used the findings of researchers over decades to help hundreds of families to assist their children in learning to use the potty.
This program is designed to give you everything you need to potty train your child with the same independence as an adult.
"Thank you so much again for your help and insights. If it werenā€™t for you, I wouldnā€™t have had the confidence or know how to empower my daughter in this way. I used to think ofĀ pottyĀ training as punitive but now I see it as Mom empowering her children in a positive way.Ā See potty pics of Jessie! "

When you join Potty University, we help you develop an individual plan using the latest research on child development and potty training or "potty education," as we like to think of it. Our training program teaches you how to use a four step process for helping your toddler to be potty independent in as little as 4 hours.
The program includes access to all trainings, materials, and resources, a private online community, and LIVE weekly Q&A calls.
Frequently Asked Questions
This course is designed for parents of children 18 months and older.
Although many children may start training or partially training sooner, research shows those early learners are often among children with elimination disorders as time goes on.
To date, the findings of science indicate that children near 27 months of age do best with this play based method.
Readiness is the first undertaking the course, so if they aren't ready, we'll know AND if they aren't ready, you can plan for a time when they are.
This course teaches you how to implement the Potty University system for potty training your toddler so that he or she is independent. You'll have access to the instructors, a community, and easy to access video lessons to help you along the way.
The program is broken up into talk-over-slides video lessons and screen share tutorial walk throughs, paired with tools, checklists, and worksheets to deepen your learning. This program is designed intentionally to reduce the potty training overwhelm, teach strategies clearly and succinctly, and give you the handful of action steps you should take before moving on to the next section. **We have five modules that are released over the period of 3 weeks.**
- Introduction- accessible at the time of purchase
- Readiness Tests & Baseline Tracking

The first module is open at the time of registration. Modules 2 and 3 open weekly and Modules 4 and 5 open on the third week. This schedule allows participants to successfully complete readiness tests, preparation, and implement the strategies without getting overwhelmed.
This is SUCH a good question. No good answer. I do wish that doctoral degree came with a crystal ball, but it didn't. We can't give you any absolutes.
For typically developing children, findings in research and our clinical experience indicates that they often achieve potty training within 4 hours.
What I can tell you is we've had various results with children over time- students and our own children.
Laura's two kids are 14 months apart. She trained them both at 27 months of age. Her daughter took 4 hours and her son took 2.5 hours. Laura is a potty training ninja.
My own son had issues with bathrooms, toilets, bowl movements, and I resisted training him because I believed it would be a battle. Once we started, however, he never wore diapers again, and he only had a handful of accidents in the day and a half we really focused on his training. I didn't time it, but I'd bet I was over the 4 hour mark and under 8.
A lot of the parents we work with report that between 2 hours and 2 days, they are feeling confident about their child's toileting.
No worries! Shoot us an email at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
