The Oh Crap! Potty Training Podcast 89: Are You Being Inauthentic When Potty Training?
In this week’s episode of Oh Crap Potty Training, I’m talking about something that trips up a lot of parents: staying authentic during potty training. It’s easy to slip into “teacher mode” with a serious voice and extra pressure, but that can put your child on high alert and actually slow down progress. I share how to approach potty training as your real, everyday self—mistakes, messes, and all—so your child feels safe and supported during this big milestone. Remember, potty training isn’t a test of your parenting skills; it’s a learning process for your child. Let’s keep it real and make it work!
