This week on the podcast, Dr. Beth Long explores how to approach potty training in a way that is both effective and supportive for your child. She discusses how many parents feel overwhelmed or discouraged in the process, especially when progress does not look the way they expected.

Through both clinical insight and practical guidance, Dr. Long walks through what it means to teach this skill with consistency, clarity, and patience. She also addresses how neurodivergence and developmental delays can impact potty training, emphasizing that while the process may look different, it is not impossible. With the right approach, children can learn in a way that fits their needs.
