- This potty training video is focused on tips that we use to help teach 7 year old daughter with an autism diagnosis. She has very limited communication so we use ABA techniques to teach her. We hope these potty training tips help. Please share this video with anyone you believe this could benefit. #autismpottytraining #weefam

When you say in your vlogs "we hope that helps" I don't think you comprehend quite how much you do help everyone who watches your videos. It's massive! Even if they don't realise it either. I don't have a child who needs toilet training but I still learnt more about autism, Braylee and other people's view on things. And today patience!
You are changing the world.
Love you all ❤️💜❤️💜
Thank you for saying that Xanthe! We never know if there’s something or nothing that people take away from any video but we just hope it can help even in the smallest way. You are wonderful! ❤️❤️
I watch every video and am going back through old ones from before I found you. Love watching you and Lauren and the Maass', watch all the videos and learn loads, sometimes learn about me watching them as well. ❤️💜❤️💜

Member or not, thank you to all of our weefam! We appreciate everyone!!
good video. you guys should definitely be on SBSK with Braylee.
That’s cool that she has her own bus I bet that helps a lot for school
She loves her bus so much
Great video, James had a lot of struggles w becoming potty trained. He finally got it the summer before kindergarten so he was 5. I started w the basics ie what u do before during and after while in bathroom. When he was 3 we started training for #1 he got it but it was inconsistent bc at preschool he had to wear pull ups. We took breaks bc it was so exhausting. We had to practice sitting on potty w reading potty books.i kept talking about it until he answered me indicating he understood where #2 goes. Finally i left him alone thinking he wasnt gonna get it. One night while he was in bath i walked in to the flor being all wet and low and behold i looked in potty, he got it i was so excited. He never had a accident again. He does still wear pull ups at night but does stay dry during the day. Consistency is very important but its also very difficult ecspecially if they dont seem interested. She will get their you guys are great parents!!!!
I’ve heard a lot of people say that when it clicks, it just clicks. It’s amazing how excited we get as parents for someone else to use the toilet 😂
We will definitely get there, just might take longer.
You 2 are great. This was extremely helpful for me. Our daughter who was pottying then she stopped back to using it in her pull-up. But consistently is a must, I slip up, where I’m not consistent but this video has and will help me and our daughter😁
We all slip up because it can be exhausting. We still have a long way to go with it still ourselves but we are working on it!
This is a good topic. My daughter is 10 Autistic non verbal. We have tried everything! Still trying everyday! We have tried pecs, her communication device and haven’t been successful. Giving up is not an option. Blessings!
It can be so hard! Hang in there though, I hope it happens sooner than later for you! ❤️ We will be continuing to try here as well.
The Wee Family; I have subscribed to your channel. I will be watching your videos. Keep up the good work. I will be sharing videos of Ashlyn’s journey. Blessings to your family!
❤️❤️
@TheGarcia’sRoyaltyFamily This sounds just like my son. He is 10, non verbal, and we have made no progress in potty training. We use PEC and a communication device too. I also have a daughter with autism as well. She is 12 now and was potty trained by the time she was 6. We just have to keep plugging along. Wishing you luck. ☺️
Ansley Harrell; Thank you 🙏
About a year ago our son started to grab his diaper area and at first we thought omg he has to pee look he is ready ... yah no it was just the beginning of a new stim. (He stiffens up and grabs his diaper are when he is excited) ABA has started the very beginning of the process of just showing the steps , we don’t think he is ready yet. At this point it’s just a new skill they are integrating so every hour they just go through the motions. Hopefully once our B shows the signs of beginning more aware we can connect the dots later on. Our son drinks so much! So I know that’s going to be another whole change. At this point we just continue to look at the positive it’s hard when we see regression and those fleeting comparing thoughts.
It’s hard to know sometimes when they have a stim that looks like an indicator of something else. We started that way too, just doing the motions until she started to actually understand and go when she was taken. We have regressed and made progress on potty training so many times it’s never been linear which can be difficult but every time she starts doing well again, she gets closer. This is one of those things that all kiddos do at different times so we just let her learn as she’s ready and are there to help. You’re not alone! ❤️
Thanks for this platform where I can actually discuss this candid topic! My Ari is 6 now and she doesn't have autism, but she has sensory processing issues, and one thing she can't bring herself to do is wipe her butt... she calls me to the bathroom to do it! The idea grosses her out and I've only gotten her to do it a few times lol! She's homeschooled so she has me there all the time for her. If anyone can suggest how I can help her get past this, aside from me simply saying No I'm not wiping you anymore. I feel so bad for my little girl! Thanks for this video where I can actually ask this privately 😊💖
That’s a hard one, we haven’t gotten to that point yet personally. I have seen a video that went around teaching kids with balloons but that’s as more for actual cleanliness not just for the gross out factor. I wonder if she would do it using disposable medical gloves? Not super practical but to get started? Or maybe if you tried the “flushable” wipes, though I’ve heard you don’t want to actually flush them because it can ruin your septic system. Sorry we can’t be more help! Hopefully someone else may have better experience
@@TheWeeFamily Thanks! I am going to push her, and I have shown her how with the wipes she's not gonna get dirty! It's an embarrassing topic so thanks for the platform to discuss it! 😊💖
Have you ever tried a chart like if your little girl wipes herself 2-3 times she gets a sticker. After 5-7 stickers she gets a ice cream or some type of treat.
hats off to miss Braylee!!! 🎩🧢👒⛑🎓
Do you think having a seperate toilet from the bathroom will help lessen distractions and break it into less steps, hand washing in a different room is a different task
Would it be possible to put cards with photos of toilets around the house so wherever she is can grab a card and show you?
My son is only daytime potty trained BUUUT he regresses during big transitions like a school break or moving to a new place 🤷
I feel like it’s one of those things that just isn’t linear. Transitions and change in routine are hard so that makes total sense
Potty definitely has taught me to b more patient lol I’m tempted to try underwear to see if it will help him feel uncomfortable but he doesn’t even react or feel uncomfortable when he has a pull-up on my question is would u try the underwear n see how it goes or would u still keep using the pull-ups
It doesn’t hurt to try underwear. We have heard many other people say that switching to underwear helps since it feels different when it’s wet and doesn’t absorb. We started when she was in preschool with training pants by Gerber or similar that are like underwear but have a more absorbent layer to them so the accidents weren’t as bad.
such a cute hug (;
Awesome
Are schools able to take care of children who aren't completely potty trained?
She does not go to public school. However, when she did, yes they are able to take care of them when they have special needs and an IEP.
My daughter she’s coming up 5 she is scared of the toilet and the flush noise so I’m struggling with that part. I get her on the potty but she won’t tell me she needs to go sometimes that can be a challenge I use visuals or repeat myself slowly so it processes. Any ideas?
Braylee doesn’t tell us that she needs to go either. We take her at regular intervals (every hour or two). Noise cancelling headphones may help? In public, use sticky notes to cover the automatic flush sensors. Aside from that, we just take it slow and break down the whole process into many small steps for her and reward or praise every step of the way. Maybe let her practice just flushing or tolerating being in the room while it flushes. I really wish I had more suggestions.
What vlog is it that Braylee is swinging on the platform swing singing Ba Ba Black Sheep. I have fast forwarded soooooooo many videos but I can’t find it.
I’m not sure either. I can ask David and see if he knows.
I wanted to show my husband. He has such a soft spot for little girls and Braylee is the cutest of all! Man, it’s so wrong that in this day and age that sounds creepy.
Have y'all ever watched atypical
We have!
@@TheWeeFamily lol that's y I got Netflix
Or parental guidance they have a character with Aspergers the the after doesn’t actually have autism he had to learn all about it to portray his character or the good doctor
♥️
Today is National Puggle Day
Aww!! They’re so cute!
She's so adorable just try she may go in the toilet it's so hard
She will go pretty consistently, just doesn’t initiate by herself. We will get there!
Thanks for this im trying to get my guy potty trained
Hopefully it’s helpful even a little bit. I know it’s hard because we are still struggling through it.
My son is 11, and we are still working on it. It can be a long process. ❤️
Ok I no Braylee your 1st child she's no different then potty training any other child your not born knowing how to go to the bathroom they need all this too pull your pants down get on the 🚽 whip and with flushable wash whips when she goes 💩 much easier for any child when done you wash when starting every 15 minutes this where allot of parent's fail there kid's bring slack because not being consistent is a BIG plus DON'T fail your kid's pretty sure Braylee would catch on pretty fast if you 2 was very consistent with her.... Stay Blessed 🖤🌹🖤
