like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

In my experience it really is an entirely kid lead thing. Your job as a parent is to make them comfortable, knowledgeable about the potty, and facilitate the process. You have to expect possible regressions too. One of mine was constipated once during potty training and as a result refused to poop on the potty for MONTHS after they were pee trained (because they associated the constipation with being on the potty).
Parenting can feel awkward and embarrassing, but just remember, all parents feel that way.
