Understand and Address Kid's Accidents Clearly
When children's accidents during potty training are obvious and fixable, parents should take immediate action. If they know the cause but delay addressing it due to errands, they hinder the child's progress. For unexpected accidents, it's crucial to check the child's bowel health, as issues like constipation can lead to urinary accidents. As children progress through potty training, they naturally experiment with holding their bladder, which may result in dribbles or leaks. Parents often mismanage responses to these occurrences. They might react too harshly or too leniently; saying 'it's okay' after an accident can encourage the behavior rather than discourage it. It's important to maintain a calm demeanor without making a big deal out of minor leaks while also emphasizing that it's an issue that needs attention.
