Transcription: 
Naked time can be a really beneficial strategy for potty training. For some kids, it really gives them that ah-ha moment of what happens when they go pee or when they go poop. Naked time simply allows your child to go without a diaper for a period of time, with the hope that they are going to see what happens and what comes out. For some kids, that sensation of something trickling down their leg is something that they really don't like it all, so it starts to teach them to hold a little bit. For other kids, because they have had these nice padded, absorbent diapers on for so long, they really have no idea what happens in the diaper and where that stuff comes from. As they see it, they are starting to see what comes out and associate it with that urge they had right before. That's the ah-ha moment that some kids have that can link that feeling with the need to go.
