Transition Times: Part 3 of when does my baby need to pee – yet another of the four ways to know it’s time to go

GDF-Podcast-12-Transition-Times

As I've said many times before, it's so important to understand all 4 of what I call "Roads to Potty Time." This episode covers the 3rd way to know it's time to offer the potty to your baby.

Generic (or common) Timing.

Most babies hold their pee in various situations, so pottying them before or after these events is usually successful. These are common times that most babies usually need to pee.

And it's also important to use generic timing to balance your own busy life - how do you integrate potty time into your shopping, visits, classes, events, and daily rhythms like showering, cooking, and bathing?

This session answers all those questions and more.

In this session, you will hear more about:

  • Why generic timing is awesome...and how it can be overdone and lead to resistance and potty pauses
  • Will your baby really hold it where he's supposed to?
  • Will your baby pee while she's in your arms?
  • The top 6 times to offer the potty to your baby
  • How to integrate pottying into a convenient day-to-day schedule
  • A bunch of great examples of what it looks like to practice Elimination Communication by common, or generic, timing
  • How to blend the use of generic timing with your baby's natural timing and NOT cause a rebellion!
  • Plus much more...
