This is what a parent told me after working together for a month.
Before that?
Their 4 year old was having accidents, refusing to go, and having major tantrums about the toilet.

Withholding is so stressful for everyone.
But it's almost always a sign that something about the toilet feels unsafe or uncomfortable for your child. Once we worked with his interests, got him onboard to problem solve with us, everything shifted.

We worked togther to see it from their child's perspective instead of treating it like a behaviour problem to fix.

A parent recently shared that their 4 year old went from full blown tantrums and accidents to "very little resistance" and "little to nothing" mistakes in just a month.
What changed?
Not the child. The approach we used.

We worked with his interests and his temperament, we looked at sensory needs and his 6 core needs. Contribution was a high need of his, being a part of the process. Breaking it down into small wins.

When potty training feels like a battle,
the answer isn't usually pushing harder.
It's stepping back and looking at what's actually driving the resistance.

There is so much you can do once you stop fighting the behaviour and start listening to it.

I am always linking children's interests to little challenges.

Another little boy I worked with hating having his hair washed and he loved submarines.
So we told him when he put the flannel over his eyes he was a submarine going underwater.

It gives their brain something else to think about.

Hope this helps any little ones with challenges.

I love the Alpaca teddy.🦙

Need to get to Home bargains before they sell out :)

I sometimes share this tip for children who struggle to relax on the toilet or potty?

Give them a teddy to squeeze against their tummy.

The gentle pressure genuinely helps them release and relax, and this alpaca might be the cutest helper I've ever seen.

Have you ever tried something like this with your little one?
What worked for you? 👇

Let other mummies know.😍
