80: Reality vs Expectations

I'm tackling the big one: expectations versus reality in potty training. Let's get real, folks—unrealistic expectations can mess with your head and make the whole process way more stressful than it needs to be. We’ll talk about how to manage those expectations, stay flexible, and keep an open mind. Every kid learns at their own pace, and they’re going to hit bumps along the way. I’ll share some tips on staying emotionally sober—yes, we need that in parenting too! Think of potty training like learning to walk—it’s all about baby steps, mistakes, and gradual progress. Join me as I help you navigate this journey with patience and a sense of humor. You’ve got this!
