Followup on our Gentle Approach to Potty Training: Regressions!

Potty training is a journey, not a destination, and it's completely normal for children to experience regressions along the way. At Two Little Owls Schoolhouse, we understand that these setbacks can be frustrating for both children and parents, and we're here to provide support and guidance during these challenging times.

Regressions in potty training can occur for various reasons, including changes in routine, stress, illness, or simply the natural ups and downs of child development. It's important to remember that these regressions are temporary and that your child will eventually master this important skill.

Our gentle approach to potty training emphasizes patience, understanding, and positive reinforcement. We believe that children learn best when they feel supported and encouraged, rather than pressured or shamed. This approach helps children develop confidence and independence while maintaining their self-esteem.

When regressions occur, it's important to stay calm and supportive. Avoid showing frustration or disappointment, as this can make the situation worse. Instead, focus on providing encouragement and reassurance, and consider whether there might be underlying factors contributing to the regression.

At Two Little Owls Schoolhouse, we're committed to supporting both children and families through the potty training process. We provide resources, guidance, and ongoing support to help make this journey as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
