## Prompt

```text
Help me potty train my child.

**Child's age:** [AGE]
**Readiness signs I've noticed:** [e.g. "tells me when diaper is wet", "dry after naps", "interested in toilet"]
**Daycare or caregivers involved:** [DETAILS and their approach]
**Time I can dedicate:** [e.g. "a long weekend at home", "gradual over weeks"]
**Past attempts:** [WHAT HAPPENED]
**Upcoming changes:** [new sibling, move, travel]

Give me:
1. A readiness checklist and an honest view of whether now is a good time, given my answers.
2. A choice of two approaches (an intensive few-days method versus a gradual one) with who each suits; then a day-by-day plan for the one that fits best.
3. Gear and setup: potty or seat, step stool, clothing that's easy to remove.
4. Scripts for prompting, praise that isn't over the top, and staying calm about accidents.
5. How to handle naps, nights, outings, and poop-specific resistance.
6. Setbacks: what's normal, when to pause and try again later.
7. A shared plan to give daycare or grandparents so everyone is consistent.

No shaming or punishment. Suggest seeing the pediatrician if there's pain, constipation, blood, very frequent urination, or a child who was trained and suddenly isn't.
