Hire a professional potty trainer?

Spread the love

Some parenting tasks should really be left to the professionals, right? After all, kids don’t come with a manual. It’s no wonder, then, that people have made a business out of the business of raising kids. In fact, for $925 you can hire a Potty Trainer to teach your child how to “do their business” and take the mess … off your hands!

In June New York City’s first professional potty-training service launched, and the phone has been ringing ever since. One honest mom-customer admitted to being “frustrated” and “not having a lot of patience” as her motivation for calling in back up help for her 3 yr old son. Add “professional potty trainer” to the growing list of services parents today can call in (if you can pay …) to help us overcome the obstacles and trials of growing up.

BUT WAIT.

Isn’t there value in the sometimes slow and painful process of getting through the hard stuff, of figuring out new experiences, of learning awkward things with someone we trust, and of accepting the truth that we don’t always get it right the first time? Maybe some clean up, some mess making, some disappointment, some frustration, and some stretching of patience is both good for a child and a parent. After all, family life is sanctifying. In other words, tough skills like using a potty are used in our lives to help us grow more like Jesus and act more like Jesus to each other.

Please don’t get me wrong here; we’re not talking about medically necessary help provided by those who are highly trained for intervention into unique health related needs. We’re talking about the normal stuff of life: wiping up, waiting, flushing, aiming, dirty stuff of life.

Not sure you’re buying my promise of bathroom blessings? God Himself models the pattern of loving us in a dirty condition. He didn’t wait until we were clean and smelling good; He moved when we weren’t even motivated to move. “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us,” (Romans 5:8).  True love isn’t daunted by the hard things.

Mom, you don’t have to have a certificate or business card to be qualified to teach your child how to use a potty. You don’t have to be a professional potty trainer. It might not just take a day (If you’re paying $925 we hope it does!) or even a week, but I guarantee there’s more happening on the potty chair than number one or two.  It’s a bit miraculous, but even bathroom habits can build the bond of a parent and a child and add to the character of a growing little person.

And if you hit a wall and can’t overcome the potty problem on your own, do you need to come up with $925? As a mom who sang potty songs and gave out m&ms, may I encourage you to find a mentor and have some legal “bathroom talk” with an older mom who can share her experience, cheer you on, and even pray you on to relief and success?

And just think of all you can do with that $925!

How about sharing some FREE potty training wisdom for that mom who read this hoping for HELP?
