What is the difference? When my older children were young, we said potty trained once they used the toilet regularly on their own but I keep hearing the new phrase and wonder what it is about? Is this a difference philosophy? Can anyone explain?

Thanks!

I think it has more to do with it being child lead. Instead of 'training' your child to use the pottty, the child learns at their own pace.

Ok, I see. Wasn't sure if it was more complex or not.

Thank you.

Sounds like a pretty good definition!

YUP but it is hard to get others to understand that concept too that we don't want to force him to PL!
