Hey friends! It’s a full-on potty training episode this week, and I’m diving into the common habits and “harmless” tactics that might actually be unraveling your potty training progress without you even realizing it. With summer right around the corner (aka potty training season), I’m laying out some key warnings and what not to do - from relying on “big kid” talk to post-accident potty sits to the weird trend of putting undies over diapers (please stop that!). We’re also talking about the bigger theme behind all of it: autonomy. Potty training isn’t just about getting your kid out of diapers - it’s one of the biggest milestones for helping them step into independence. Tune in for real talk, practical tips, and a pep talk on why giving your kid more responsibility now leads to more cooperation later. You got this. Let’s do it!
