Listen "Teresa Kmak: Difficulties of Toilet Training and How to Overcome Them | Raising Parents #19"
Episode Synopsis
Marking the transition from wearing diapers to using the toilet, toilet training is a significant milestone in a child's development. While it can be a challenging and frustrating experience for both parents and children, it is a crucial step in a child's journey towards independence and self-care. Therefore, parents must exhibit patience, consistency, and understanding throughout the process.
In this episode of Raising Parents, host Dina Sargeant was joined by Teresa Kmak, also known as Teri, who is the owner and founder of Beloved Baby Consulting LLC. Her company provides virtual potty training consultations anywhere in the United States.
Here, Teri shared insights on the connection between toilet training and parenting, the ideal age to initiate toilet training, and why it's important for children to be toilet-trained. She also provided helpful tips and best practices for parents to implement during toilet training, and discussed common obstacles parents face and how to overcome them.
