Does the idea of potty training have you sweating with the thought of pee-stained carpets and endless power struggles? Do you want to start early and go slow, or do you worry you’ve missed a window of opportunity?
For many parents, this process can feel much more daunting than it really is. I can help!
Here are some quick tips:
- Look for capability instead of readiness- it can be a fuzzy concept to fully understand.
- Handle misses as natural learning opportunities, and invite your child to help clean.
- Use neutral, descriptive language, avoiding rewards or punishments.
- Offer some different options, like a small potty seat and a toilet seat reducer.
