Last night I worked with the parents of a dear 3-year-old who was struggling with toileting, he was holding his wee and getting really distressed about the whole thing.
Does this sound familiar to you?
Sometimes the best approach isn't tackling the issue head-on. Its about working with their core needs for certainty and control and also building their confidence around managing worries in general.
Looking at emotional reasons why he may be finding it hard and giving him tools he can use in lots of situations, including toileting.
I shared a couple of my go-to books (pictured) that gently help children understand and cope with anxious feelings,
without making toileting feel like this huge scary thing we're constantly focusing on.
Small steps, big wins.
We created a clear plan forward, and mum and dad left feeling confident and equipped.
If your little one is struggling with toileting, or any anxiety around developmental milestones, this is exactly what I do.
I help families move from stuck and stressed to having a plan that actually works.
