Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode Dr. Emily Upshur, and I talk about...
- Why potty regressions can happen even years after a child is toilet trained.
-Why getting to the root of your child's challenges — whether accidents stem from a medical issue or a psychological struggle — is key to finding the right approach and intervention.
- What to do (and what not to do) when your child starts hiding accidents out of shame or embarrassment.
- How to help your child take ownership and build confidence, without making them feel bad.
- Practical tips for handling accidents at playdates, with friends, or in public, while preserving your child's dignity.
This episode will help you make sense of what's behind potty regressions in older kids and offer practical, shame-free ways to support your child's body awareness, confidence, and emotional well-being.
