Hi! I’m Pernille - mother of four living in Denmark and author of the Hard Cases potty training guide. I’ve worked with thousands of families on potty training and toddler behavior, and I can't wait to help you too.”
This guide may not be the best fit for you if your boy is easygoing, compliant, or eager to please. If your son picks things up fast and is an excellent mimicker who can't help but automatically copy you right away, a more straightforward (even slightly pressuring) method might give faster and better results.
Scenario #1
He’s completely used to diapers and won’t even consider the potty. He screams “NO!” and starts crying when I try. Now he’s constipated, in pain, and everyone is miserable.
Scenario #2
He’s curious, and I can get him to try sitting on the potty, but he never actually poops there. Now I’m out of ideas. Nothing works. Everyone is stressed. I'm losing my mind
Stop guessing. Stop fighting. Watch him love the potty in 3 days.
3 Days. 1 Goal. Zero Diapers.
Hacks to fix constipation first and prevent setbacks. A step-by-step guide to eliminating hard poop and pain triggers before training begins.
Trigger natural body awareness at home so your boy feels every urge. Keep it constipation-safe, with ongoing soft-stool support to ensure poops stay easy and pain-free.
Your boy steps into loose underwear at home and starts owning the process more independently, turning new habits into something that feels natural and stress-free.
Why boys take longer and how to leverage their natural competitive drive to make them WANT to use the potty.
How to handle fear of "losing a piece of themselves" (a very real boy fear!) and stop the poop-holding cycle before it starts.
What to do when you're at Target and he has a meltdown. These 5 sentences stop the tantrum and save your sanity.
"We've tried many other books but we always ran into issues not mentioned anywhere. For example refusal to even sit on the toilet trainer. This helped the most. Within three day's he's got the hang of it and the rest is just practice"

"The more i pushed the more he pushed back and I was blind to see it. This guide is gentle and flexible. It has worked perfectly for our dyslexic boy."
