“You may have noticed that poop has its very own chapter. Yeah. It’s that big a freaking deal.”

“The need to pee and poop is a primal one; learning to put it somewhere specific is social, and social behavior must be taught.”

“Here are the major blocks or phases, in order: 1. Peeing and pooping while naked, either with prompting or without. 2. Peeing and pooping with clothes on, commando, with prompting or without. 3. Peeing and pooping in different situations, with prompting or without. 4. Peeing and pooping with underpants, with prompting or without. 5. Consistent self-initiation. 6. Night and nap (unless you are choosing to do it all together; more on that later). 7. College. Probably still needing to prompt occasionally.”
