Dr. Mary Ann Shallcross Smith helps guide parents through the Toilet Training Process.
At Dr. Day Care, our aim is to not only educate the children in our care, but also to promote learning for our parents, teachers, and communities. An exciting way for me to continue to pass on my expertise is through my video tutorial series. My first educational video relates to a topic that parents of young children can relate to- Toilet Training/Potty Training.
I have been involved with potty training for over 40 years as a mom, grandmother, and child care professional. Toilet training is such a special milestone for toddlers and parents. It’s always a pleasure to pass on to parents the hands on experience I have learned over the years of toilet training hundreds of children.
I am excited for this opportunity to share my knowledge with our community and appreciate your help. If you find this video informative- please share it with your friends!

When I wrote my first children’s book, Edgar Graduates, a big milestone I was sure to include was toilet training! Edgar thinks back on when he was younger – “I used to wear diapers. Not any more! Now I am potty trained.”
