POTTY TRAINING
Episode 10
When a child complete the potty training process, it is a great milestone for the child and family. The child becomes more independent and can help build self-esteem. For parents in means the end of changing and purchasing diapers. That said, it is one of the most challenging aspects of early childhood for everyone involved. I didn’t quite get this at first because my first child was using the potty on his own by the end of the first day. Maybe we knew something others didn’t. Well after just completing potty training with my third child, I can truly appreciate the struggles of potty training. It can be exhausting, frustrating, confusing to the child and the parent. When we picked out a dog this summer, my #1 requirement was that the dog be fully potty trained because I was not going through it again.
