#toddlertoileting #pottytraining #montessoriathome Parents and other caretakers, you are not alone if at times you feel frustrated, impatient, and confused during potty "training". Take heart! Miss Julie reminds you of a few universal toileting truths in hopes of shifting your attitude and perspective so that you can be the calm, patient, and relaxed adult guide your child needs during the toileting process. Trust in the child. The role of the adult in the toileting independence and a child-friendly toileting environment (bathroom) are the only parts of potty "training" adults have control over. Buying all the things is easy! Being patient, relaxed, and trusting in the child can be hard.
