About Your Child

These details will be used throughout your personalized plan.

Used to personalize the language throughout your plan.

A recent life change, a particular sensitivity, something that works really well — anything that feels important.

Section 3 of 7

Readiness Signals

These questions help us understand where your child currently is in the readiness process. Answer based on what you actually observe — there are no right or wrong answers.

Does your child stay dry for stretches during the day? *

(Diaper or pull-up dry when you check)

Does your child show awareness of having wet or soiled — or knowing it's about to happen? *
How would you describe your child's interest in the potty or toilet? *
Which of these can your child currently do? *

Select all that apply.

Have you tried to introduce potty training before? *
Section 4 of 7

Temperament

This section is the most important part of the questionnaire. Answer based on your child's consistent patterns — not their best or worst day. There are no right answers.

When faced with something new — a place, a person, an activity — your child typically: *
When your child has to stop one activity and move to another: *
When you express urgency or pressure around a task ("we need to do this NOW"): *
How would you describe your child's emotional reactions (frustration, excitement, disappointment)? *
When you celebrate something big (clapping, cheering, calling others to see): *
How would you describe your child's sensitivity to sensory details (sounds, textures, temperatures, smells)? *
When your child has decided something is safe or acceptable, how reliably do they follow through with it? *

Anything about your child's personality that feels important — things that work well, things that always backfire, patterns you've noticed.

Caregiving Environment

Consistency across caregivers significantly shapes how potty training unfolds. Answer based on your actual situation.

Who is primarily involved in your child's daily care? *
Does your child attend daycare, nursery, or a childcare center? *
How consistent do you expect the approach to be across all caregivers involved? *

e.g. starting daycare next month, new sibling arriving, family travel planned, changing rooms

Section 6 of 7

Specific Patterns

These questions help us identify whether any specialist guides should be included in your pack. Answer based on what you actually observe.

How does your child currently respond to the bathroom or potty? *
How would you describe your child's bowel habits overall? *

If your child has a diagnosed condition, has seen a specialist, or is on medication related to bowel habits or development, please note it here. This is not a medical consultation — it helps us flag where to defer to your doctor.

Your Goals & Notes

Last section. All questions here are optional — but your answers help us understand what matters most to you.

What is your biggest concern going into this? (optional)

What would success look like for you in the next 2–3 months? Is there a timeline pressure? Is there something specific you want the plan to address?

Family context, a recent challenge, something that has worked surprisingly well, something you want us to be aware of.
