Introduced by Dr. T. Berry Brazelton in 1962, the child-oriented approach to potty training has long been a favorite of pediatric health care providers and has been well-discussed in pediatric literature for more than thirty-five years. Unlike the parent-oriented approach, this method emphasizes a gradual approach that should only begin after your toddler has achieved certain physical and psychological milestones. The parent and the child both participate in the process. Despite the lack of published information regarding outcomes, the Brazelton method remains a favorite among parents and providers.
