Understanding Regression in Potty Training

Regression in potty training refers to a child reverting back to a former state, such as going back to diapers or needing more assistance with daily tasks. It's important to recognize that behavior is a form of communication, and children at this age may not have the verbal skills to express their emotions. Parents should try to understand the underlying reasons for the regression, which could include a need for more attention or a response to a big change or trauma. It's also crucial to differentiate between true regression and the need to reinforce certain potty training block transitions.
