If I Did it, So Can You: Potty Training Lessons From a Mom of Eight

If I Did It, So Can You is an encouraging and practical guide to potty training from Daniela Kinsella, a mother of eight who has successfully navigated the journey with her own children.

Drawing from real-life experience rather than theory, Daniela shares simple lessons, honest stories, and practical tips that helped her guide eight very different children through one of the most important milestones of early childhood. From recognising when a child is ready, to handling accidents, bedwetting, communication challenges, and building confidence, this book offers gentle encouragement for parents who may feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to begin.

Written in a warm and relatable style, If I Did It, So Can You reminds parents that there is no perfect method and no perfect parent. Every child learns at their own pace, and with patience, consistency, and encouragement, success is possible.

Originally published in 2018 as Potty-Training Tips for Busy Moms, this updated second edition also includes a personal afterword reflecting on the years that followed and the lessons learned along the way.

Whether you are potty training your first child or your eighth, this book will reassure you that you are not alone on the journey.

If I did it, so can you.
