Hi, I’m Janet Brown 👋 I’m a parenting coach, child development specialist, and mom of two energetic boys, Jason and Jamie. I'm the creator of the Calm Potty Parenting Method.

Like so many parents, I went into potty training thinking it would be a short phase we’d just “get through.” Instead, it became one of the most emotionally challenging seasons of my early parenting years. With Jason, everything felt tense and slow. With Jamie, it turned into power struggles and constant second-guessing. I tried the popular methods, the timelines, and the advice everyone swore by — and none of it worked the way I was told it would.

What finally changed everything was realizing that potty training isn’t about willpower or consistency alone — it’s about understanding how your child processes change, pressure, and independence.

That realization didn’t just transform potty training in our home. It reshaped how I parented altogether.

Out of that experience, I created The Calm Potty Parenting Method, a gentle, personality-based approach designed to help families move through potty training with clarity, calm, and confidence.

If you’re here because potty training feels harder than it should, I want you to know this: you’re not doing anything wrong. Sometimes all it takes is the right lens — and the right support — to change everything.

I’m so glad you’re here. 🙌
