PARENT COACHING: POTTY TRAINING SETBACKS WITH A 5 YEAR OLD
“… you're completely right. When we address it in the moment, it doesn't have the same impact because then all those defenses are up. So we have to address it and have this conversation outside of the incident.”
This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, I will be coaching a parent through some struggles with potty training her daughter. We will discuss some of the events leading up to this, her daughter's history with potty training, and any changes that may be relevant to this setback. Then I will help Gini develop a plan for her and her daughter to tackle this struggle in a way that will allow her daughter to master this skill on her own.
Some topics we will go over include:
- The two main reasons children struggle with mastering potty training
- The two most common stressors in a child's life
- Ways to help remove the guilt and shame around accidents and how to create a plan to help your child master going to the bathroom on their own
I hope this episode is helpful for anyone with a child that is struggling to learn to use the bathroom on their own. Please reach out if you have any further questions!
