It’s easy to think toilet struggles are “just a phase” or “just about poo”.

But sometimes, what’s happening beneath the surface is affecting so much more.

A little one who is holding in their poo may be carrying worry, discomfort, fear or embarrassment around with them every day.

And when that weight is lifted, we can sometimes see changes in places we never expected.

For this little girl, mastering pooing on the toilet wasn't just a toileting milestone.

Her confidence grew.

She started joining in.

She began speaking up around her peers.

Her nursery teacher noticed the difference.

Because it was never just about the poo.

If your child is struggling with poo resistance, withholding or toilet anxiety, please don't feel you have to wait and hope it resolves on its own.

Sometimes the right support can make a difference far beyond the toilet.

If you'd like to talk through what's happening with your little one, book in for a free call with me.

This weeks Thursday's Tiny Shift

Make it a game with goalposts

Trying to get a reluctant child from A to B? ( especially after school or nursery )

Start making it a mission.
"Can you use your walking feet until we reach the red car?
Then we'll see what comes next."

Small achievable chunks with a clear end point works with their brain instead of against it.
They're not thinking about the whole journey.
Just the next red car.

Review-
"We purchased the Potty Training course which was very informative. It gave us the confidence we needed to fully prepare our child for potty training.
We ran into a few bumps in the first week.
She was very helpful to us over email.
We felt very supported throughout. Thank you Sue. You are wonderful!"
Stephanie

Would love to support your little one.

When the atmosphere at home is tense and everyone is on edge sometimes the fastest way through it isn't a serious conversation.

It's being silly.
A funny voice,
a daft dance,
an unexpected noise
laying on the floor with arms and legs spread.

It disrupts the tension, gets a laugh and brings you back into connection.

You can't stay dysregulated when something makes you giggle.

I have a 15 page PDF called Be a bit daft in my parenting hub, it gives playful ideas for different ages , so easy to implement in the tricky moments.

Want to find out more comment the word HUB below .

Would love to chat.

The mirror trick strikes again

Ever wonder why some children fight brushing tooth and nail
but can calm right down in front of a mirror?

It's not about control. It's about their senses.

When they can see what's happening, their brain can make sense of the sensation instead of being caught off guard by it.

That's often the difference between a meltdown and a mouth wide open.

If teeth brushing is still a daily battle in your house,

I've got a full guide in the Hub with more ways to make it easier.

Real strategies, not just "try a sticker chart."👍
