You know, just when you think you're getting a handle on parenting, along comes toilet training. Then when you think you've gotten that one at least a bit under control an issue comes up with constipation, potty training bowel movements or the like.
Thanks very much, life. Sigh.
It's in these moments that we just have to laugh, don't we? What else is there to do? Cry? Oh wait, we've already done that - multiple times! The great thing about this realization is that it help keeps us calm and matter-of-fact, which is a huge help to our toilet training toddler or preschooler. The more relaxed - and even humorous - we can keep the process of bowel movement training, the more we help our potty trainee.
If you need ideas on helping your own poop-challenged little one, you might want to listen to a podcast I just created on potty training & bowel movements.
Hang in there, Mom. And laugh. Even a little.
