74: On Purpose Accidents

Today, we're talking limit testing behavior in potty training. Kids often push boundaries by purposefully having accidents or making inappropriate statements to gauge parental reactions. I stress the significance of setting firm boundaries and remaining consistent in enforcing them, likening it to putting a fence around a yard for safety. It's essential to differentiate between behavior-driven accidents and physical issues like constipation, addressing underlying issues effectively. We explore the importance of establishing consistent parenting boundaries to ensure children's psychological safety and provide strategies for handling purposeful peeing incidents, including the use of toy timeouts. Join us as we navigate the challenges of disciplining and setting clear expectations to guide children's behavior and promote healthy development.(00:00:55) Boundary Pushing in Potty Training Dynamics(00:03:12) Emphasizing Consistent Boundaries for Effective Parenting(00:06:37) Toy Timeout for Purposeful Peeing Incidents(00:09:20) Setting Clear Expectations for Effective Discipline
