Big Little Feelings

I found the Big Little Feelings potty training course about halfway through day 1 of potty training my almost-3 year old. I thought I was prepared to get started having read other guides, talked to my toddler about the potty for months, purchased plenty of underwear, and so on, but nothing really prepared me for any kind of resistance. I felt like the classic three-day methods out there had set us both up for failure and despair. I came across the Big Little Feelings course in a parenting forum, having never heard of this team before. In my desperation, I gave it a shot, and I’m so glad I did. Their grounded, realistic approach to this process was exactly what I needed to get through that first day and the days after. It equipped me with essential tools for handling pushback and challenges, which are still serving me two weeks in. Overall, this course helped me manage my expectations, better empathize with my child as he went through this massive change, and take pride in our wins.

The Big Feelers Course was incredibly validating and helpful for me as a parent of a big feeler. I am also a licensed clinical professional counselor who has done a lot of research on highly sensitive children, and I can honestly say this has been the most helpful parenting resource I’ve used. The course helped me completely reframe some of my biggest struggles with my child’s emotions—not as problems to fix, but as opportunities for connection and regulation. Even with my professional background, I learned new, practical ways to support my child, stay grounded myself, and help him build emotional regulation skills in a way that actually works in real life. This course strikes a rare balance between being compassionate, realistic, deeply supportive, and genuinely usable in the hardest parenting moments. I recommend it wholeheartedly to parents—especially those raising highly sensitive or big-feeling kids.

I started the potty journey with my 2. 5 year old having very minimal education and after the first day I felt so overwhelmed and discouraged. I’m so happy I found the potty learning course on Big Little Feelings. Deena and Kristen made everything so clear and concise, I truly felt empowered and ready to restart our potty journey with a whole new perspective. I highly recommend for parents!

It works!

Great information provided in the classes. My daughter did not successfully get potty trained but we are still working on it and using strategies from the videos!
