In this episode, we're challenging the conventional use of rewards in potty training. Rewards can be counterproductive, leading to entitlement and a reliance on external motivation, and can even become punishments when a child is not yet capable of achieving the desired behavior. So what do we do instead? That's what we're tackling today! Jamie's Website Jamie's Courses Jamie's Instagram Jamie's Patreon Oh Crap! Potty Training Oh Crap! I Have a Toddler

Let’s go over the important points of day one of potty training. This first day isn’t about judging success or failure. It’s about learning your child’s pee signal (or pee dance) and their pee pattern. It’s data collection and lots of learning. You have to avoid being emotional about this and give your child space to learn a brand new skill. It can be a tough day for parents and we’ll talk about why and how to help that. Buy Oh Crap!

Today we’ll run through some possible solutions for what might be happening if your child is struggling at daycare. But first, we’ll go over what a reset looks like, as many parents are getting this confused.

Today, I’m talking with Melissa Markus, aka @thekindergartenmom (IG). She lives in Canada where “kindergarten” is akin to preschool in the US. We’re talking about not just her own potty training journey but also how to best support your child when they need to be fully potty-trained for school.

Today, we’ll literally be talking about time; giving your child TIME to learn this milestone. I’m in a bit of red alarm panic based on the information I’m getting from parents contacting me.

You HAVE to give your child ample time to learn this but also to build in time for struggles. We’ll also talk about WHY kids in preschool should be fully potty trained. And what to...
