Mindful Potty Training
Like all milestones, learning to use the potty is a unique and individual process for each child. Learn about the ins and outs of toilet learning from a developmental perspective. How do we give a child ownership over the process? What do we teach them and how? When do we let go and trust? Bring your questions, stories and sense of humor. No sticker charts or gummy bears needed.
Topics will include:
-readiness: what is it?
-the importance of language
-giving choices, setting boundaries
-managing our expectations
-managing big feelings (ours and theirs)
