Toilet training my oldest was relatively straightforward—he picked up the basics quickly and we never had any major setbacks or accidents. But my second child was a different story!
She turned out to be super sensitive to any kind of pressure or expectation, so every time I suggested using the potty, she'd shut down completely. I had to completely change tactics and make it into a game—we'd race against the timer to see how fast she could get undressed, sit on the potty, flush the toilet, and wash her hands. She loved the independence and control of doing it all by herself, and soon enough she was asking to do it every few hours!
It's amazing how every kiddo has their own timeline and approach—and that's totally okay!
