The toddler years comes with quite a reputation for putting poor, unsuspecting parents through the ringer. Well, we’re here to give you a little bit of your sanity back thanks to our special guest Dr. Heather Wittenberg aka The BabyShrink, who’s an expert in all things baby, preschooler, and yes, toddler. She’s a licensed child psychologist with over 20 years of experience, not to mention a mom of four kids, and… she’s the author of Let’s Get This Potty Started! The BabyShrink’s Guide to Potty Training Your Toddler, which a lot of you parents of little ones probably even have at home.
And as a partner with our sponsor Pull-Ups and GoodNites Bedtime Pants, she gets to reach thousands of parents every year, just like you (and us) who have lots and lots of questions.
Take a listen as she answers questions about:
– how to deal with early wakings.
– how to encourage kids to stay in their own beds.
– when kids are ready for potty training and how parents will know.
– the difference between daytime and nighttime potty training (yes, there is a difference).
– how to handle meltdowns and separation anxiety.
– what parents should to do take care of themselves during the toddler years.
