There have been some great successes and some challenges along the way too! My biggest takeaway has been staying consistent with our daily schedule, especially during the early stages of potty training. Consistency definitely helped speed up the process. Also, being patient goes a long way - explaining things takes time and repeating lessons is normal.
For parents reading this struggling with bedtime or morning routines, I'd suggest nailing down a strict but relaxing bedtime routine. Stories, songs, and a little quiet play does the trick for us most nights! And that applies to days too - creating a daily schedule that works best for you takes some pressure off. It helps your child know what's coming next, especially during periods of rapid change and development.
Keep sharing everyone!
