64. Rewards, Consequences, and Bribing Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

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!

62. Reviewing your First Day of Potty Training Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

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!

Show notes

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. We’ll also touch on a common thing that is happening that I do not recommend: a child who is doing really well for a few months and then parents reset. You should not reset in these situations.

58. When Your Child Has to Be Fully Potty-Trained for Preschool Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

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. This was a fun conversation because Melissa’s IG is devoted to tips and activities and she asked ME questions from her audience. Kind of like a dual interview :) Buy Oh Crap!
