Online Elimination Communication Classes

Learn Elimination Communication Baby Led Potty Training Online

If you are a visual or auditory learner, then taking online elimination communication classes may be the perfect alternative to reading a book about EC. Plus, some things are just easier to understand through watching a video demonstration than through reading text. For example, don't you think it would be more helpful to watch someone demonstrate the classic EC hold than for me to explain in text how to hold your baby over a toilet?

Plus, as parents, we are busy! Even if we would like to, we don't always have time to read a book. We are curious to learn about various parenting methods, but we are so busy caring for our babies and chasing our toddlers that we don't always have time.

Online classes to the rescue! We can learn just about anything from online courses these days. My husband has been taking online classes on tech subjects for years, but now even my mom takes Craftsy classes to inspire her many sewing projects.

EC isn't just for hippies (like I first thought). It's also for us high-tech mamas!

Sure, if we still had a village helping to raise our children we could step outside and ask our neighbor our burning questions about elimination communication. Or we could ask our mothers what they did to get through potty pauses. But chances are, you are one of the lucky few if you have a local elimination communication support group. It's far more likely that you've found your EC tribe in an online Facebook group. So when you are ready to hone your EC knowledge, it makes sense to do so with an online class.

Slip into a comfortable pair of yoga pants, snuggle up on your couch, and start learning how to rock EC!
