When potty training gets messy
Common potty training issues
Jessica: Oh, your specialty is so needed for so many families. What scenarios are most common in your practice?
Quiara: There are many challenges that come into my practice, but I’ll share with you some of the common ones. First and foremost, withholding poop until nap time or night is huge. Another one is asking to poop in a diaper, so the child preferring to use the diaper rather than going into a toilet or a potty. And fear of the regular toilet is another big one. And lastly, withholding to the point of constipation, which we know is not comfortable for any child or any family.
Jessica: Okay, so let’s break these down, ‘cause I want to know about all of it, don’t hold back with us, okay.
So, no pun intended, but withholding poop until nap time or night, we’ve experienced this in our home. Tell me, what are your suggestions?
