Navigating the delicate waters of potty training can feel like a daunting voyage for both parents and their little ones. Luckily, this week's conversation with Susan Wallace, a Potty Training Consultant and social worker, shines a beacon of clarity on the topic. Susan emphasises the role of clear, anatomically correct language as a cornerstone of effective training and child safeguarding, offering profound insights for a smoother sailing through these developmental tides.

Choosing between sitting or standing might seem trivial to adults, but it's a significant choice in a child's potty-training journey. In the heart of this episode, we examine the benefits of respecting a child's autonomy while deftly avoiding any power struggles that might arise. We'll explore the balance of intrinsic motivation against external rewards and how to integrate mindful potty breaks amid the whirlwind of play.

Whether you're in the midst of potty training or planning for this milestone, this episode is an essential compass—guiding you through the common regression topics and helping you tailor the potty training journey to your child's unique needs and rhythms. Join us for an episode that not only answers pressing questions but also equips you with a map to treasure—a confident, toilet-trained child.
