[blparent] blparent Digest, Vol 104, Issue 15

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Any reason why this is the focus now? Are you up against a drop dead date for preschool or camp?
I say this because while consistency is key, you want to remember to enjoy your kid and your life.  Some of the suggestions I was given wouldn't have worked for our personalities or our lifestyle.
Like any other skill when she's ready, she'll do this.

thank you for you ideas and suggestions. Isabella is about to turn three
and I know I've been very laid back on this potty training issue, however,
it is my husband's and my focus now. I also know that consistency is what
works best. once again, thank you for your ideas.

p.s: I love BL parent. It's helped me so much already.
