70: What NOT to Say When Potty Training
Listen now
Description
I'm covering the key strategies and pitfalls of guiding your child through the potty training journey. From crowdsourcing potty training advice to prompting techniques and dealing with helicopter parenting, we discuss it all. I emphasize the importance of sticking to a solid plan tailored to your child's needs, steering clear of social media until well into the process to avoid conflicting advice overload. We explore the power of using statements, choices, and challenges during training, steering away from direct questioning to prevent power struggles. Plus, we debunk ineffective methods like sticker charts and threatening with diapers, offering insights into effective nighttime training approaches and debunking myths around bedwetting.(00:01:34) Effective Potty Training Strategies for Individual Children(00:06:15) Confident Guidance for Successful Potty Training(00:11:07) The Pitfalls of Overbearing Potty Training(00:13:50) The Pitfalls of Sticker Charts in Potty Training(00:19:14) Effective Potty Training: Rip the Band Aid
