70: What NOT to Say When Potty Training

I'm covering the key strategies and pitfalls of guiding your child through the potty training journey. From crowdsourcing potty training advice to prompting techniques and dealing with helicopter parenting, we discuss it all. I emphasize the importance of sticking to a solid plan tailored to your child's needs, steering clear of social media until well into the process to avoid conflicting advice overload. We explore the power of using statements, choices, and challenges during training, steering away from direct questioning to prevent power struggles. Plus, we debunk ineffective methods like sticker charts and threatening with diapers, offering insights into effective nighttime training approaches and debunking myths around bedwetting.(00:01:34) Effective Potty Training Strategies for Individual Children(00:06:15) Confident Guidance for Successful Potty Training(00:11:07) The Pitfalls of Overbearing Potty Training(00:13:50) The Pitfalls of Sticker Charts in Potty Training(00:19:14) Effective Potty Training: Rip the Band Aid

64. Rewards, Consequences, and Bribing

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

62. Reviewing your First Day of Potty Training

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!
