BTW I think the comment that hurts the most is that as a Mom I'm not trying hard enough. I've trained his older sister, no problem. With autism it's a completely different playing field. Thank you for doing these videos. You have the gift of compassion for us parents
Thank you for saying this. It’s especially hard when your autistic child is your first and so far only child, because you aren’t able to tell yourself “I did a fine job with my non-autistic child so I know it’s not a problem with my parenting.” The question of whether I’m trying hard enough and doing my best for my son never really leaves me.
Couldn't sleep again last night because worrying about my 5 yr old nonverbal son not being potty trained. Thank you for your kind words of reassurance. There's so much pressure and stigma. I'll need to watch this video more than once
I'm so glad I'm not the only worried mama out there with a 5 y/o boy on the spectrum who isn't potty trained!! Hope things have gotten better for yall!
I wish I knew more about my son earlier so I could have found this video ❤️ he’s (I don’t know if this is correct to say) “high functioning” autistic spectrum, basically what they used to consider Aspergers. It took until 5 1/2 to be fully potty trained and we just thought he was stubborn and wasn’t ready because he seemed like the average kid in every other way. I was so embarrassed not of him but because I figured I just wasn’t doing a good enough job. I’m still frustrated that we and our pediatrician didn’t figure it out sooner. Everyone kept asking if I had tried sticker charts and rewards as if that wasn’t the first thing we tried. I’m sharing this in hopes that it helps someone similar. Be patient, I thought we’d never get where we are to be honest
Thank you so much for your comment and it’s so true we need to talk about our frustrations and talk about the hot subjects to be able to help our children. You’re an amazing mum
thank you Rosie I also felt that the pediatrician failed us as we kept on going there asking him to check if there is anything not okay about him as we were worried about speach delayed, holding of his ears, humming and still on his nappies he said he does not see anything. we even went to an ENT he also said there is noting wrong with him it just a behavior imagine until we took him to day care when he was 2 1/2 yr and they did and assessment and referred to us to OT and the rest is history.

@@juniormako6184 I’m not looking to “cure” my son. If autism makes up a large part of who he is then I love autism. He needs skills to adapt to a Neurotypical world as much as a neurotypical world needs education to accept him for who he is and make other autistic people more comfortable. It’s their world too why should they have to change to be like everyone else
My son is 5 and has autism...and quarantine helped me Complete potty train him. I didn’t use rewards I just got rid of the pull-ups put him on the potty every 20 minutes daily for about 2 weeks, and I would wake him up once through the night...while using his speech device so he could ask, and he caught on...now he just goes into the bathroom or points or asks on his speech device. He has the occasional accident but they are far and few. He can now sleep through the night with no accidents, and I couldn’t be more proud of him. For the parents struggling...it will happen...just be consistent. Good Luck!
Hi, tara my son was potty trainer by 4 he is still non verbal. I use Reinforcement like the iPad. He only got the iPad when he use the toilet. 1st it was when he pee he got the iPad 10 minutes. And if he did a poo he got it for 20 minutes.
E Obst I can’t imagine that must be so difficult my advice to you would be the one at a time is there one that seems more ready than the other also when you try and teach one usually the other one follows I potty trained Luca when he was 2 1/2 Dylan was 5 1/2 almost 6 and he just followed along. It’s almost like he felt the pressure was of him and therefore when he saw his sibling do it he wanted to do it x

@@ComingHometoAutism love the fact that once Luca was potty trained, Dylan decided he had better get with it, or he'll be in diapers while Luca is wearing big boy underpants. This is usually the case although normally reversed with the younger sibling being trained earlier after watching his big brother or sister using the toilet.
Wow you have calm me down alot. My son has been struggling with Toilet training issues for a long time and even now he is going to be 8 years old some how I think being in and out of school this year has messed up his routine

I'm so glad I saw this video. My almost 5 year old daughter with ASD isn't potty trained yet and I was getting concerned because someone told me that after 5 or 6 years they will lose the ability to control their bladder for the rest of her life lol
Don't feel bad mine is currently working on it still and she's also 4. It's hard because she doesn't communicate it yet so I been thinking of trying a PECS system for her since I know visual help her.

Thank you so much for sharing this! My 5 yo is also autistic and potty training has been challenging. When you shared about your son smearing his 💩, it immediately reminded me of my son as well. I don't want my son to feel shame or anxiety at all when it comes to potty training. I could feel the amount of judging eyes whenever I enter a room full of people, some family and friends, staring at my 5 yo in a diaper. Your video has helped me out tremendously. ❤️
This is the best video I've seen about potty training a child on the spectrum. My son is non verbal and turning 5 in March. We've been trying since he was 2
Thank you. My son has SPD and he's almost 4yo and not yet potty trained. He used to tell us when he had a soiled diaper but as soon as we started visiting the potty he reverted to hiding when he had to poo or pee. I've felt like the most terrible mother for not being able to start this process, as well as having people like my mother yak over how at his age "you were already potty trained". It is very overwhelming but if you have a child with special needs it feels unsurmountable at times. I have the additional pressure of him having to be trained before school in August. Knowing others go through this and are able to find solutions is comforting.
Thank you for sharing these useful tips. We have found this to be a tricky issue..... my little boy is speech delayed (started speaking 2yrs 9 months) so doesn't converse.... therefore when we started this journey in February when he turned 3... he was happy to wear pants, just said "floor wet" and hasn't really grasped toilet training yet. X

Omgggggg i did not know it was a sensory thing... my 4yr old use to do it when he was 2. Our 2yr old who just turn 3 likes to put his hands back there period while sucking his thumb 🤯 lol our 3yr old walks around bouncing when he has to poo so we try to run him to the toilet ASAP. Our 4yr old was potty trained a week before his 3rd bday. We just needed to be consistent and random with him. Sending him to the potty all the time.
Thank you so much for this. My daughter is 4 and we have struggled with potty training for almost 2 years. I have been working harder since quarantine started but we are just not there yet. But I definitely appreciate the advice and plan to reset and start again in a few weeks.

As part of my research on ASD, I have been following your videos. My daughter is on the spectrum and I had tried at different stages to potty train her which failed. I wanted to try again this year as she was about to turn four and I wanted to be prepared. I decided to get your book "coming home to autism". Initially, as I was reading the potty training section of the book, I thought to myself, this is not what I am looking for. I was wrong! I jumped the gun too quickly. I want to let you know that section became a game-changer for us (especially the Ava Kids App you recommended). I got the app installed on my daughter's tablet, and after 3 days, I made a breakthrough. My daughter just turned four years a couple of weeks ago and it's been one month of potty training and she gets it now. She can wipe after pee, but still working on the wiping after a poo. There are still accidents once in a while when she gets engrossed in playing but, I am so thankful for the progress after trying and failing a couple of times. Sorry for writing too long, I just wanted to say thank you soo much for sharing with us and your book has proven really helpful in our journey with our daughter.
👍I love this video. It gives me hope knowing that one day it will happen. My son is non verbal, shows no interest at all using PECS, he will be 6 next month. I cried a lot last week as he smeared his poo everyday. I am lost to how to start as i have no hint from him. And when i try & time it to take him to the toilet he becomes scared of sitting on the toilet. Refuses to sit & wants to live the bathroom. Any suggestion will help me. Thx
Great info thanks! If anyone has advice for potty training for bowel movements I would appreciate it 😊 my 7 year old gos just fine with urinating but unfortunately no matter what we do we can't get bowel movements. So he does a pull-up & if we don't do that he holds it for days or more & then ends up having an accident. Thanks in advance for any advice....

I have autism I was nonverbal till 9, and potty training was terrible. I still remember at 36.I wish my mum never used a potty and just got the seat you can't put to make it smaller. I used colour fruit loops for my autistic male cousin and got him to draw on table tennis balls. Put them in the toilet they don't flush away and get him to slowly aim for the fruit loops or ball. Yup, smell is a big thing. Keep the bathroom colours, not to bright calming colours work
Thank you so much for this video. I was crying and beating myself up feeling like a horrible failing mother because I felt I was not doing it correctly and scared that my daughter would always be dependant on others and watching your videos and reading comments of other moms having the same issues made me feel not alone and has given me hope that she will get better. Thank you so much!! ❤❤

Thank you for this video! We just started potty training 2 days ago and my asd son still has accidents potty training is real! My son hates doing kaka in his nappy always goes in the potty.. we struggle with the pee pee he is still not understanding that pee pee also goes in the potty.. our therapist told us to go every 30 minutes still has accidents... I have a side question, where did you purchase those mirrors in the background?
I've been asking my doctor if my twin boys had autism they keep saying no. there are things they do that normal kids just don't do. 1. freak out to change their diapers they kick and cry. 2. throw their food on the floor if you touch it or try to hand them food they will throw it across the Livingroom. 3. their blankets they will not sleep with no other blanket they will stay awake until they get their blanket back. 3. I say to my son Elijah hello hi Elijah he will get mad and run and hide from me. they are not talking still like other kids their age. they repeat words they recognize words on the t.v. and colors. they freak out about brushing their teeth until they are ready to do it. i'm having a really hard time with the boys and I don't know if its just them being brats or something more serious.
Thank you you had answer soo many questions that I had, I'm a mom of and Autistic boy he is 6 yr old also ADHD and his brother is 7 yrs and also has ADHD and cognitive delay, so is hard for me because I have to train both and I know that is has to be done with both at the same time. I've been looking for ideas and strategies in how to start potty training once again for the X time I've tried in the past both without any success , so thank you for your advise I'm glad i found your channel
Thank you so much for your video, it is such a relief to know others are going through similar situations. I appreciate you offering solutions as well. We got the "See me go Potty" app right away, he watched over and over. Thanks for giving us hope. We know our permanent hope is when God's will is done on Earth(obviously all this isn't his will) as mentioned in the Lord's prayer. But until then we appreciate all the help we can get.🙂
This is such a great video! Thank you 😊 my son is 4 pre verbal will pee on toilet but refuses to poop. He can hold it for days. The second I put him in a pull up he will poop.
Yup the struggle was real, we started when James was 3 #1 came pretty easy but was inconsistent, i never thought he would get it, and i kept praying he would get it #2 i mean before he started kindergarten, he finally got it the summer before he started school, and since has never had a accident. #2 was so much harder he finally got it when i left him alone, we were so proud, but now if i let him he would sit on the toilet literally for an hr or more, in the beginning however I couldn’t get him to sit for a minute.

Having a 2y4mo old son (my 3rd baby) saying no any word and using the biggest baby nappies I've seen in the market. Preparing myself to start potty training him this summer and can't imagine how it'll work. Cried over this video, feeling how much you've gone through during potty training and your son's whole journey in general.
Hi. My son is almost 5 years old he has autism as well. We were on a good track on the whole potty training. I was able to teach him to let me know when he needed to us the bathroom. He was doing so good with the pooping he was basically doing it by himself I just would help him wipe himself. The pee he still had some accidents. But one day he got constipated and it was very painful when he had a bowel movement. Ever since that day he does not want to poop in the toilet. He holds it until he can’t anymore. He goes a week without pooping. I have had to give him laxatives to make him have a BM because he is in pain because he holds it in for too long. What can I do to get him pooping in the toilet again?
i would usually visuals again. almost go back to the begginging again . new toys in there take him in when you think he needs to go. Bubbles are also good choice x
This is my second consecutive video of yours that I watched. My son has a habit of smearing his poop everywhere and no one can relate with their kids. As gross as it is- I’m happy someone else has gone through the same thing and can laugh about it. I’m coming to terms with my son’s diagnosis slowly but I’m glad that there are people that understand the situation. Also what therapies does Dylan get and when did he start speaking (conversationally)? My son just turned 3. Thank you for your helpful, calming videos 😊😊

Great video and perfect timing, we have just started potty training with our nearly 7 year old. We tried many times over the last couple of years but she showed absolutely no interest. So now we are trying again and we finally got her to sit on the toilet this week! Yay! Small step I know, but it's progress and it's amazing. Like you said it might take a long time but we will eventually get there. 👍

Hi! My name is Jeff, and I started working with a 9 yr old autistic non-verbal boy a couple months ago, and he is not toilet trained. When he has the chance, he smears & will put it all over himself (including his nose/mouth). I began sitting him on the toilet with clothes on, signing "toilet", and flushing, then washing hands...but he sticks his hands in the toilet- constantly- and he doesn't sit still very long. AND this is not his home- he's been quarantined/stuck in another state for 4 months due to covid/protesting back home. He mainly goes poo when he gets in the pool now. I'm trying to learn as quickly as I can so I can serve him & the family as much as possible. Any suggestions would be great!
I'm so glad for your video. The reason why I'm watching this is because my son is 5 and he just got diagnosed not to long ago and he is in school full time for the first time and he is non verdad and the teacher at school was mad because he is not potty trained and even got a phone call from the principal today and make me feel frustrated because I don't know what to do. At home my son doesn't really like to used the bathroom and is frustrated. Now I'm going to try to do some of the things you mentioned.
Ugh. Im searching because I've failed miserably. My 7 1/2 yr old Grandson, limited verbal (parrots some) Brain Cancer patient with 2 major surgeries left partial paralyzed, feeding tube so food rewards do not work. Thank God he doesn't smear. Want NOTHING to do with the toilet at all. Thank you for the Toilet ONLY toy tip. I'm excited to try that one. God bless all of you with this journey.
Any tips on toilet training 7 year old twin boys? They both have nonverbal autism along sensory processing disorder. Should I toilet train one, and then the other. Or should I train them both at the same time?
hey there, i think this is individual to the child. if you think one is more ready start with that one, it may even bring the other one along. i potty trained luca and dylan at the same time. Luca bought dylan on x
Very blessed to have found your channel. My son is 3 and he is still not diagnosed but every doctor we have seen has told us he has autism. I am learning how to help him and understand him every day. Your videos really help me to understand more and help me help him.
My boy turned 10 last week- tried several times when he was younger. He’s in pads and nappies. Next week I’m on a two week sabbatical as the summer hols start. But this time I’m more engaged as he is my job for the next two weeks. It will get messy. His brothers will not be happy. And despite being on sabbatical, in pandemic and other work elements will intrude (eg interviewing someone from home...) - so her we go. And he’s ten - but he tells me he’s filled his nappy for the last 6 months - so there might be a chance. He’s gorgeous by the way and his vocabulary exploded in the last few months
hey there, thats a really good sign. I dont go on age i throw out the rule book when it comes to development they all develop differently. One girl i interviewed was 15 when she got out of nappies. good luck with it all x
Just found your channel and I love it! My son is 17, severely autistic, non verbal and the most beautiful soul I have ever met in my life! I've been watching your videos with your husband and we went through it all. I know you are talking about toilet training and I thought my son would never get there. We were lucky enough that his 1st grade teacher took it on. She took him to the bathroom every so often whether he needed to go or not. If he went he got something that was fantastic to him, in our case, it was M&M's. he was very motivative by this. She did this everyday for a week and boom, he was trained!! Good luck to everyone out there dealing with this, it will happen! xo

I just want to say thank you so much for your content and for this video! I had never heard of this app and it has been a big hit! Would love to see a video on apps you use/have used. Fabulous video and fabulous channel! THANK YOU TARA!
Tara , really good advices!!! I first tried when he was 2...he wasn't ready...2.5 I tried again...I found on internet a 5-step picture guide...put your pants down, sit on toilet, do your weewees/poos, flush,wash hands....I put the pictures in bathroom's wall so everytime I would sit him on his potty he could see the pictures and hear the actions...this help him a lot!!! So my 1st advice would be "Use pictures". 2nd "Try to keep him on the toilet as much possible"...I didn't use bubbles but I used numbers...he could count up to 20, so first I had a paper with the numbers up to 10, after while up to 20 and after while up to 30 (he was sitting on toilet and learning counting at the same time). Every mother can use whatever the kid likes..photos of cars, whatever will keep him as much as possible sitting on the toilet...this is because he needs to get used the feeling of the cold surface... .3rd "After every meal or time that drinks water, take him to sit on the toilet". These are the times that he probably needs the toilet. 4th" Lot of praise!!! for every tiny success!Make it a big deal. Tell to everyone!"...He took me 6 months of trying but he is toilet trained..
Hi, can I ask for some advice on outside toilets, do you have any tips, my son is 5 and nonverbal. He has a fear of hand machines and refuses to go to outside. Any tips would be great 👍x
If you are out and about, using disabled toilets might help so you can avoid the noise from the hand dryers in the main toilets. If you are in the UK you can apply for the key to give you access to the disabled toilets. Hope this helps x

I know this is an old video but my 4yo still wears pullups. He does everything on the toilet but gets so distracted with activities he still pees in the nappy. Refuses to wear underpants. Tried during this holiday to encourage but still no. Thanks for your advice.
I have a four year-old little girl and she has autism. I always have to go and change her at school because no one at school will change your pamper or her pull up. Can I have advice about that? I’m thinking of pulling her out of school I don’t know yet.
Great tips, I just wanted to ask whilst you was potty training him and he would go to bed at night did he wear a nappy over night or did you just let him sleep with his pants risking accidents?
You made me feel so much better. You’re right people don’t talk about certain things. So other parents feel odd and embarrassed to talk about it. Thank you!!
I am so glad you talk about smearing and eating their poo. 💕💩. My boy still doesn't sit on the toilet but squats on it instead. Regardless gets the job done..thank you for these videos
Thank you for sharing the story about bleaching the walls. Lol My 3.5 year old did something similar a few weeks back and it's nice to know we're not alone!!!
Hey Tara love the video thank you so much deffo going to try your tips when Teddy is ready to be potty trained. He’s still completely non verbal and has started to become a lot more violent with head butting hitting and slapping us and head butting hard surfaces has got worse. Would I be able to request a video on how you discipline a child with Austin I have tried so many techniques but nothing’s working I worry he has no idea what we are saying and it makes him so much worse ! Hope you are well and coping during this tough time xxx
I really needed to find these videos today, my son has started smearing and I’m struggling. Thank you so much for taking such a personal approach when making this video you’ve really helped me feel better x

I have five children and three of them have autism my 35-year-old daughter used to do that a lot with her poop. She was having it all over the place on the walls everywhere plus clogging up my toilet but now she is so much better and cleaner withher yourself. My grand daughter is 3 and non verbal having a hard time with potty training her too.
Hi Tara. Any tips on a kid who initiates going to poop but not for pee.. he is four and just pull down his pants for peeing anywhere. When asked he uses toilet but doesn't initiate.
My 5 yo he's talking just not well nor is he potty trained and I'm trying and I'm in a panic attack scared that my son will not be able to start school or he will be taken from me I'm at the point of losing my mind and I have no help he is a good boy and very sweet and he is smart it just March's to his own drum I just have no idea wtf to do
I'm so grateful for finding this video. I've been overwhelmed and embarrassed about my daughter's poo smearing and have been on youtube tiktok Instagram for about a year finding out any information about it and how to clean it and nothing. Until yesterday I just couldn't take it anymore and created my own concoction to clean it up and finally I'm able to breathe. Now I'm getting new flooring put in her room to make clean up easier. I want to potty train her but she has a fear of sitting down on the toilet so wondering if I should hold off until she's comfortable enough to sit on the toilet?

I have a suggestion to start one thing at a time. I have started my kids to wash them on toilet after they go pee or poo( in diaper offcourse), everytime i change their diaper i wash them with water first. I have spray bidet. So now they are already used to go and sit on toilet seat and used to get washed. I am gonna start potty train them this summer. 4 1/2 yr old and 3 yr old both autistic. Hopefully it goes well. And i have an other suggestion that if you have to use pullup(yes its hard to wash carpet after kids pee and it smells bad) use underware first before putting on the pullups. So when they go they still feel the wet underware but pullups will soak the extra pee. And i learned to take your child to bathroom every half hr or so, dnt wait too long bcz otherwise they ll have an accident.
Im autistic and idk when i stopped wearing diapers during day but i know i was 8 or 9 when i stopped wearing them at night. I just forgot to one night and didnt wet the bed and was just like “woah ig i should stop wearing them”
Thank you so much for this informative video, my son is now 5 years old and is still in pull ups. I will definitely try all the tips on this video. Thank you so much 🤗

Hello Tara I’ve been searching your book and found out that its not sold and not delivered in Australia is there sites where to buy them to Australia? Thank you appreciate it. ❤️
You’re one amazing lady... I have a friend who’s struggling with a 5 year old and still she’s not sure if he’s Autistic or is it something else... He’s doing speech therapy, but it’s hard. I hope she also finds your video helpful 🙏🏻 God bless ❤️

My son has no interest in using the potty/ toilet just wets himself doesn't even say anything till he's wet I put the potty in the middle of the room I ask him every 15mins nothing he wants a new toy said u can have it when u use the potty #help he's 4 he's 5 in October off to school in September
Don’t worry about the time limit if you think he is not ready or hasn’t grasped it yet then try again in a few weeks. They should assist you and help you at school also x
I encourage all parents to take care of themselves in addition to their child. If you don't, you're not going to be much use down the road. I've watched the mother of my wife's 4 yo autistic granddaughter go from a vibrant young woman to someone who is withdrawn, depressed, and suffers from skin rashes and hair loss in this same amount of time. My wife and I see Luna 4-5 times a week and do what we can so the parents can have some limited rest. I'm glad I stayed in decent shape at 66 so I can pull Luna 2-3 miles in her Radio Flyer wagon when she comes over. I love her so much.
Hi, I'm new to your channel and so glad I came across. It's like a therapy session saying you're not alone, try this way and see if it helps. I will definitely be using your suggestions. It does get a little frustrating. My daughter is 5 and potty training. We go from regular undies n the day to pull ups at night time. Sometimes she runs away when its time to sit like its a game so I will be trying rewards for using thw potty. She is still nonverbal but she mostly her signs to communicate or sometimes words here n there. Her sleep for the most part is well but some nights she can fall asleep by 7pm but wake up recharged by 12:30am. Which is hard when its a school night. Wondering what else I can do about that. I do use melatonin but not all the night like weekends I do let her stay up a little longer to play. Maybe I'm messing up her routine?

I really loved your video! The poo smearing at the villa and the phone into the toilet when he took himself made me laugh. Thank you for being so real. You have great information and encouragement.
Gosh thank you sooo much for this video Tara!!! my son Nikolas...is 4.5 and we are in the process of to get off panties...at first..i watch and write when he full his panties..i think now with the lockdown and the quarantine is a great opportunity to try it..we'll see how it goes! finger crossed! :) much love from Athens Greece
Wondering if you have any advice for me, since I’ve reached out to everyone I can think of and everyone just keeps telling me “I don’t know” 🥺 My son will be 5 in August and when the stay at home order happened from Covid (March 2020) we decided it was time to try potty training. Per the recommendation of his occupational therapist we prompted him to go every hour, then every two hours and finally every 2-3 hours. It worked wonderfully for about 9-10 months, no accidents! He started preschool and has only had two accidents at school, the last was over 4 months ago. Super super proud of him! However... he started having accidents at home a few months ago. Because of this, we were told to stop prompting him, so he could learn his own body. Now that we are no longer prompting him to go, he is having many many accidents at home.. still no accidents at school. I don’t know the proper way to handle this. If I keep prompting him, he is likely not going to have accidents.. but will he ever learn to go on his own and listen to his body? We have baby brother joining us this summer, I’m sure that’s cause for the regression/accidents.. but I don’t want to be cleaning up big brothers accidents while trying to heal from delivery if I can help it.

I’m watching this for my baby brother and I learned a lot and maybe I can be a better brother and friend to what he needs and wants

@@juniormako6184 I don't know about herbs
BTW I think the comment that hurts the most is that as a Mom I'm not trying hard enough. I've trained his older sister, no problem. With autism it's a completely different playing field. Thank you for doing these videos. You have the gift of compassion for us parents
Hey there I know it’s so hard but your doing a great job Xox
Thank you for saying this. It’s especially hard when your autistic child is your first and so far only child, because you aren’t able to tell yourself “I did a fine job with my non-autistic child so I know it’s not a problem with my parenting.” The question of whether I’m trying hard enough and doing my best for my son never really leaves me.
Couldn't sleep again last night because worrying about my 5 yr old nonverbal son not being potty trained. Thank you for your kind words of reassurance. There's so much pressure and stigma. I'll need to watch this video more than once
you literally took the words out of my mouth...i feel the exact same about my 5 yr old non-verbal daughter
I am in the same journey of my 5 year non verbal son
Good morning going through same with my 6year old autistic kid
Same here ladies *virtual hug*
I'm so glad I'm not the only worried mama out there with a 5 y/o boy on the spectrum who isn't potty trained!! Hope things have gotten better for yall!
I wish I knew more about my son earlier so I could have found this video ❤️ he’s (I don’t know if this is correct to say) “high functioning” autistic spectrum, basically what they used to consider Aspergers. It took until 5 1/2 to be fully potty trained and we just thought he was stubborn and wasn’t ready because he seemed like the average kid in every other way. I was so embarrassed not of him but because I figured I just wasn’t doing a good enough job. I’m still frustrated that we and our pediatrician didn’t figure it out sooner. Everyone kept asking if I had tried sticker charts and rewards as if that wasn’t the first thing we tried. I’m sharing this in hopes that it helps someone similar. Be patient, I thought we’d never get where we are to be honest
Thank you so much for your comment and it’s so true we need to talk about our frustrations and talk about the hot subjects to be able to help our children. You’re an amazing mum
I need to get my child potty trained
thank you Rosie I also felt that the pediatrician failed us as we kept on going there asking him to check if there is anything not okay about him as we were worried about speach delayed, holding of his ears, humming and still on his nappies he said he does not see anything. we even went to an ENT he also said there is noting wrong with him it just a behavior imagine until we took him to day care when he was 2 1/2 yr and they did and assessment and referred to us to OT and the rest is history.

@@juniormako6184 I’m not looking to “cure” my son. If autism makes up a large part of who he is then I love autism. He needs skills to adapt to a Neurotypical world as much as a neurotypical world needs education to accept him for who he is and make other autistic people more comfortable. It’s their world too why should they have to change to be like everyone else
My son is 5 and has autism...and quarantine helped me Complete potty train him. I didn’t use rewards I just got rid of the pull-ups put him on the potty every 20 minutes daily for about 2 weeks, and I would wake him up once through the night...while using his speech device so he could ask, and he caught on...now he just goes into the bathroom or points or asks on his speech device. He has the occasional accident but they are far and few. He can now sleep through the night with no accidents, and I couldn’t be more proud of him. For the parents struggling...it will happen...just be consistent. Good Luck!
amazing well done you x
@@ComingHometoAutism thanks same to you!
@@ComingHometoAutism could you please link the videos on how you expanded your sons food variety. My son only likes baby food and chips.
Hello, what speech device are you referring to please? I have a 3yr old autistic child and I need all the advice and help I can get. Thanks
Give more likes to this beautiful lady plz she deserves more

Great tips!!💜👏
You made me feel so incredibly relieved
🥰
Seriously! It’s been in my mind to potty traine and I’ve just be so scared of the failure. But now I see it as it takes time and that’s okay.
Me too
Your soul is so radiant! Thank you for being so transparent and supportive. Your a Heaven Send:)
bless you thank you x
Hi, tara my son was potty trainer by 4 he is still non verbal. I use Reinforcement like the iPad. He only got the iPad when he use the toilet. 1st it was when he pee he got the iPad 10 minutes. And if he did a poo he got it for 20 minutes.
Is he understand all this?
Yea..how can he understand all this?
Thank you for this. We have 5 year old twin girls (both on the spectrum) and it has been overwhelming trying to potty train them both. ❤️
E Obst I can’t imagine that must be so difficult my advice to you would be the one at a time is there one that seems more ready than the other also when you try and teach one usually the other one follows I potty trained Luca when he was 2 1/2 Dylan was 5 1/2 almost 6 and he just followed along. It’s almost like he felt the pressure was of him and therefore when he saw his sibling do it he wanted to do it x
Coming Home to Autism your video has given me a bit of hope. And thank you for responding to my comment. Thank you 🙏🏻

@@ComingHometoAutism love the fact that once Luca was potty trained, Dylan decided he had better get with it, or he'll be in diapers while Luca is wearing big boy underpants. This is usually the case although normally reversed with the younger sibling being trained earlier after watching his big brother or sister using the toilet.
the same here
Wow you have calm me down alot. My son has been struggling with Toilet training issues for a long time and even now he is going to be 8 years old some how I think being in and out of school this year has messed up his routine
My son is 8 and his not trained yet he also struggles with it
it's really important to educate ourselves on autism , what to do if you have it, and how to prevent it. contact Dr Oyalo for natural cure on his channel. I use his herbs on my son and he is autism free now
Thankyou soo much and we can finally relax knowing we are not alone in this 👍🏻💕

I'm so glad I saw this video. My almost 5 year old daughter with ASD isn't potty trained yet and I was getting concerned because someone told me that after 5 or 6 years they will lose the ability to control their bladder for the rest of her life lol
Don't feel bad mine is currently working on it still and she's also 4. It's hard because she doesn't communicate it yet so I been thinking of trying a PECS system for her since I know visual help her.
Why do some kids with severe autism still wear diapers as teenagers or young adults even after they've been potty trained

What herbs is this?
Thank you so much for sharing this! My 5 yo is also autistic and potty training has been challenging. When you shared about your son smearing his 💩, it immediately reminded me of my son as well. I don't want my son to feel shame or anxiety at all when it comes to potty training. I could feel the amount of judging eyes whenever I enter a room full of people, some family and friends, staring at my 5 yo in a diaper. Your video has helped me out tremendously. ❤️
Did u try the tummy massage potty training method keep him in diapers or pull ups
This is the best video I've seen about potty training a child on the spectrum. My son is non verbal and turning 5 in March. We've been trying since he was 2
Thank you. My son has SPD and he's almost 4yo and not yet potty trained. He used to tell us when he had a soiled diaper but as soon as we started visiting the potty he reverted to hiding when he had to poo or pee. I've felt like the most terrible mother for not being able to start this process, as well as having people like my mother yak over how at his age "you were already potty trained". It is very overwhelming but if you have a child with special needs it feels unsurmountable at times. I have the additional pressure of him having to be trained before school in August. Knowing others go through this and are able to find solutions is comforting.
Thank you for sharing these useful tips. We have found this to be a tricky issue..... my little boy is speech delayed (started speaking 2yrs 9 months) so doesn't converse.... therefore when we started this journey in February when he turned 3... he was happy to wear pants, just said "floor wet" and hasn't really grasped toilet training yet.

Thank you much, this video was so helpful. My son is 3 half and he scream when he see the potty. He won’t sit on it.
Omgggggg i did not know it was a sensory thing... my 4yr old use to do it when he was 2. Our 2yr old who just turn 3 likes to put his hands back there period while sucking his thumb 🤯 lol our 3yr old walks around bouncing when he has to poo so we try to run him to the toilet ASAP. Our 4yr old was potty trained a week before his 3rd bday. We just needed to be consistent and random with him. Sending him to the potty all the time.
🥰
Thank you so much for this. My daughter is 4 and we have struggled with potty training for almost 2 years. I have been working harder since quarantine started but we are just not there yet. But I definitely appreciate the advice and plan to reset and start again in a few weeks.

You’re so sweet thank you
As part of my research on ASD, I have been following your videos. My daughter is on the spectrum and I had tried at different stages to potty train her which failed. I wanted to try again this year as she was about to turn four and I wanted to be prepared. I decided to get your book "coming home to autism". Initially, as I was reading the potty training section of the book, I thought to myself, this is not what I am looking for. I was wrong! I jumped the gun too quickly. I want to let you know that section became a game-changer for us (especially the Ava Kids App you recommended). I got the app installed on my daughter's tablet, and after 3 days, I made a breakthrough. My daughter just turned four years a couple of weeks ago and it's been one month of potty training and she gets it now. She can wipe after pee, but still working on the wiping after a poo. There are still accidents once in a while when she gets engrossed in playing but, I am so thankful for the progress after trying and failing a couple of times.
Sorry for writing too long, I just wanted to say thank you soo much for sharing with us and your book has proven really helpful in our journey with our daughter.
This is honestly amazing and thank you for sharing your story with us. And I’m delighted it has helped! Well done you xox
What’s the actual apps name please?
👍I love this video. It gives me hope knowing that one day it will happen. My son is non verbal, shows no interest at all using PECS, he will be 6 next month. I cried a lot last week as he smeared his poo everyday. I am lost to how to start as i have no hint from him. And when i try & time it to take him to the toilet he becomes scared of sitting on the toilet. Refuses to sit & wants to live the bathroom. Any suggestion will help me. Thx
Great info thanks! If anyone has advice for potty training for bowel movements I would appreciate it 😊 my 7 year old gos just fine with urinating but unfortunately no matter what we do we can't get bowel movements. So he does a pull-up & if we don't do that he holds it for days or more & then ends up having an accident. Thanks in advance for any advice....
Im going truu the same thing with my 5yr old .. has anything help for u yet ?

I have autism I was nonverbal till 9, and potty training was terrible. I still remember at 36.I wish my mum never used a potty and just got the seat you can't put to make it smaller. I used colour fruit loops for my autistic male cousin and got him to draw on table tennis balls. Put them in the toilet they don't flush away and get him to slowly aim for the fruit loops or ball. Yup, smell is a big thing. Keep the bathroom colours, not to bright calming colours work
Thank you for your comment so good to hear what you think so we can help our kiddos. Can I please share your comment x
Thank you so much for this video. I was crying and beating myself up feeling like a horrible failing mother because I felt I was not doing it correctly and scared that my daughter would always be dependant on others and watching your videos and reading comments of other moms having the same issues made me feel not alone and has given me hope that she will get better. Thank you so much!! ❤❤

Thank you for this video! We just started potty training 2 days ago and my asd son still has accidents potty training is real! My son hates doing kaka in his nappy always goes in the potty.. we struggle with the pee pee he is still not understanding that pee pee also goes in the potty.. our therapist told us to go every 30 minutes still has accidents... I have a side question, where did you purchase those mirrors in the background?
hey there we got them from the Nordic store in the sale ;-) x
I've been asking my doctor if my twin boys had autism they keep saying no. there are things they do that normal kids just don't do. 1. freak out to change their diapers they kick and cry. 2. throw their food on the floor if you touch it or try to hand them food they will throw it across the Livingroom. 3. their blankets they will not sleep with no other blanket they will stay awake until they get their blanket back. 3. I say to my son Elijah hello hi Elijah he will get mad and run and hide from me. they are not talking still like other kids their age. they repeat words they recognize words on the t.v. and colors. they freak out about brushing their teeth until they are ready to do it. i'm having a really hard time with the boys and I don't know if its just them being brats or something more serious.
always trust your gut instinct mama always knows best. so keep on pushing x
Thank you you had answer soo many questions that I had, I'm a mom of and Autistic boy he is 6 yr old also ADHD and his brother is 7 yrs and also has ADHD and cognitive delay, so is hard for me because I have to train both and I know that is has to be done with both at the same time. I've been looking for ideas and strategies in how to start potty training once again for the X time I've tried in the past both without any success , so thank you for your advise I'm glad i found your channel
Also I purchased your book and I must say it has some excellent advice in there. Very reassuring advice. X
thank you so much xx
Thank you so much for your video, it is such a relief to know others are going through similar situations. I appreciate you offering solutions as well. We got the "See me go Potty" app right away, he watched over and over. Thanks for giving us hope. We know our permanent hope is when God's will is done on Earth(obviously all this isn't his will) as mentioned in the Lord's prayer. But until then we appreciate all the help we can get.🙂
You are so welcome!
This is such a great video! Thank you 😊 my son is 4 pre verbal will pee on toilet but refuses to poop. He can hold it for days. The second I put him in a pull up he will poop.
Same as me 100%
Hlo whats the condition of ur son now? Does he poop in toilet .
Yup the struggle was real, we started when James was 3 #1 came pretty easy but was inconsistent, i never thought he would get it, and i kept praying he would get it #2 i mean before he started kindergarten, he finally got it the summer before he started school, and since has never had a accident. #2 was so much harder he finally got it when i left him alone, we were so proud, but now if i let him he would sit on the toilet literally for an hr or more, in the beginning however I couldn’t get him to sit for a minute.
That’s awesome x

Having a 2y4mo old son (my 3rd baby) saying no any word and using the biggest baby nappies I've seen in the market. Preparing myself to start potty training him this summer and can't imagine how it'll work.
Cried over this video, feeling how much you've gone through during potty training and your son's whole journey in general.
Did u try the tummy massage potty training method
Hi. My son is almost 5 years old he has autism as well. We were on a good track on the whole potty training. I was able to teach him to let me know when he needed to us the bathroom. He was doing so good with the pooping he was basically doing it by himself I just would help him wipe himself. The pee he still had some accidents. But one day he got constipated and it was very painful when he had a bowel movement. Ever since that day he does not want to poop in the toilet. He holds it until he can’t anymore. He goes a week without pooping. I have had to give him laxatives to make him have a BM because he is in pain because he holds it in for too long. What can I do to get him pooping in the toilet again?
i would usually visuals again. almost go back to the begginging again . new toys in there take him in when you think he needs to go. Bubbles are also good choice x
This is my second consecutive video of yours that I watched. My son has a habit of smearing his poop everywhere and no one can relate with their kids. As gross as it is- I’m happy someone else has gone through the same thing and can laugh about it. I’m coming to terms with my son’s diagnosis slowly but I’m glad that there are people that understand the situation.
Also what therapies does Dylan get and when did he start speaking (conversationally)? My son just turned 3. Thank you for your helpful, calming videos 😊😊
hey there we have to laugh really dont we. if you watch my mile stone video with dylan you can see when he spoke and what i do to help him xx

Great video and perfect timing, we have just started potty training with our nearly 7 year old. We tried many times over the last couple of years but she showed absolutely no interest. So now we are trying again and we finally got her to sit on the toilet this week! Yay! Small step I know, but it's progress and it's amazing. Like you said it might take a long time but we will eventually get there. 👍

I’m struggling with this currently. My child is 4 and soon will turn 5 but I can’t get her to use the potty. 😔
What do you do in public when you are potty training. Do you put normal pants on or nappies?
Hi! My name is Jeff, and I started working with a 9 yr old autistic non-verbal boy a couple months ago, and he is not toilet trained. When he has the chance, he smears & will put it all over himself (including his nose/mouth). I began sitting him on the toilet with clothes on, signing "toilet", and flushing, then washing hands...but he sticks his hands in the toilet- constantly- and he doesn't sit still very long. AND this is not his home- he's been quarantined/stuck in another state for 4 months due to covid/protesting back home. He mainly goes poo when he gets in the pool now. I'm trying to learn as quickly as I can so I can serve him & the family as much as possible. Any suggestions would be great!
I'm so glad for your video. The reason why I'm watching this is because my son is 5 and he just got diagnosed not to long ago and he is in school full time for the first time and he is non verdad and the teacher at school was mad because he is not potty trained and even got a phone call from the principal today and make me feel frustrated because I don't know what to do. At home my son doesn't really like to used the bathroom and is frustrated. Now I'm going to try to do some of the things you mentioned.
Ugh. Im searching because I've failed miserably. My 7 1/2 yr old Grandson, limited verbal (parrots some) Brain Cancer patient with 2 major surgeries left partial paralyzed, feeding tube so food rewards do not work. Thank God he doesn't smear. Want NOTHING to do with the toilet at all. Thank you for the Toilet ONLY toy tip. I'm excited to try that one. God bless all of you with this journey.
Any tips on toilet training 7 year old twin boys? They both have nonverbal autism along sensory processing disorder. Should I toilet train one, and then the other. Or should I train them both at the same time?
hey there, i think this is individual to the child. if you think one is more ready start with that one, it may even bring the other one along. i potty trained luca and dylan at the same time. Luca bought dylan on x
Very blessed to have found your channel. My son is 3 and he is still not diagnosed but every doctor we have seen has told us he has autism. I am learning how to help him and understand him every day. Your videos really help me to understand more and help me help him.
Mahura Gonzalez me too!
Buy him prebiotic and probiotic and omega 3 supplements they help
@@kendralopez4530 Can you please give me more information... What do this supplements do?
This video is soooo good. New sub.
My boy turned 10 last week- tried several times when he was younger. He’s in pads and nappies. Next week I’m on a two week sabbatical as the summer hols start. But this time I’m more engaged as he is my job for the next two weeks. It will get messy. His brothers will not be happy. And despite being on sabbatical, in pandemic and other work elements will intrude (eg interviewing someone from home...) - so her we go. And he’s ten - but he tells me he’s filled his nappy for the last 6 months - so there might be a chance. He’s gorgeous by the way and his vocabulary exploded in the last few months
hey there, thats a really good sign. I dont go on age i throw out the rule book when it comes to development they all develop differently. One girl i interviewed was 15 when she got out of nappies. good luck with it all x
Coming Home to Autism thanks. He’s in underpants but he’s finding a way to get his Inco pad on by himself. He’s a wily fox that boy of mine 😂
OMG, my child smears, thought I was all alone 😂😂😂
I'm so happy you mentioned about smearing poo. I appreciate your honesty. My autistic son does that. Thought he was the only one.
Just found your channel and I love it! My son is 17, severely autistic, non verbal and the most beautiful soul I have ever met in my life! I've been watching your videos with your husband and we went through it all. I know you are talking about toilet training and I thought my son would never get there. We were lucky enough that his 1st grade teacher took it on. She took him to the bathroom every so often whether he needed to go or not. If he went he got something that was fantastic to him, in our case, it was M&M's. he was very motivative by this. She did this everyday for a week and boom, he was trained!! Good luck to everyone out there dealing with this, it will happen! xo

I just want to say thank you so much for your content and for this video! I had never heard of this app and it has been a big hit! Would love to see a video on apps you use/have used. Fabulous video and fabulous channel! THANK YOU TARA!
Tara , really good advices!!! I first tried when he was 2...he wasn't ready...2.5 I tried again...I found on internet a 5-step picture guide...put your pants down, sit on toilet, do your weewees/poos, flush,wash hands....I put the pictures in bathroom's wall so everytime I would sit him on his potty he could see the pictures and hear the actions...this help him a lot!!! So my 1st advice would be "Use pictures". 2nd "Try to keep him on the toilet as much possible"...I didn't use bubbles but I used numbers...he could count up to 20, so first I had a paper with the numbers up to 10, after while up to 20 and after while up to 30 (he was sitting on toilet and learning counting at the same time). Every mother can use whatever the kid likes..photos of cars, whatever will keep him as much as possible sitting on the toilet...this is because he needs to get used the feeling of the cold surface... .3rd "After every meal or time that drinks water, take him to sit on the toilet". These are the times that he probably needs the toilet. 4th" Lot of praise!!! for every tiny success!Make it a big deal. Tell to everyone!"...He took me 6 months of trying but he is toilet trained..
Hi, can I ask for some advice on outside toilets, do you have any tips, my son is 5 and nonverbal. He has a fear of hand machines and refuses to go to outside. Any tips would be great 👍x
If you are out and about, using disabled toilets might help so you can avoid the noise from the hand dryers in the main toilets. If you are in the UK you can apply for the key to give you access to the disabled toilets. Hope this helps x
This is amazing advice , I will take your advice, my son is autistic and is non verbal communication, you explain it so well 🙂🙂

Thank you, you don't know how much of a difference this video you made has made, it's really appreciated
You're very welcome!
When did Dylan start speaking
I know this is an old video but my 4yo still wears pullups. He does everything on the toilet but gets so distracted with activities he still pees in the nappy. Refuses to wear underpants. Tried during this holiday to encourage but still no. Thanks for your advice.
I have a four year-old little girl and she has autism. I always have to go and change her at school because no one at school will change your pamper or her pull up. Can I have advice about that? I’m thinking of pulling her out of school I don’t know yet.
Great tips, I just wanted to ask whilst you was potty training him and he would go to bed at night did he wear a nappy over night or did you just let him sleep with his pants risking accidents?
Thx 4 posting this very helpful & compassionate. God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
You made me feel so much better. You’re right people don’t talk about certain things. So other parents feel odd and embarrassed to talk about it. Thank you!!
sending love
I am so glad you talk about smearing and eating their poo. 💕💩. My boy still doesn't sit on the toilet but squats on it instead. Regardless gets the job done..thank you for these videos
I’m so glad I came across this video 🙌🏽 thank you so much for the tips
Thank you for sharing the story about bleaching the walls. Lol My 3.5 year old did something similar a few weeks back and it's nice to know we're not alone!!!
Hey Tara love the video thank you so much deffo going to try your tips when Teddy is ready to be potty trained. He’s still completely non verbal and has started to become a lot more violent with head butting hitting and slapping us and head butting hard surfaces has got worse. Would I be able to request a video on how you discipline a child with Austin I have tried so many techniques but nothing’s working I worry he has no idea what we are saying and it makes him so much worse ! Hope you are well and coping during this tough time xxx
Tayla Hodgson absolutely I will do a video on this in the next coming weeks x
I really needed to find these videos today, my son has started smearing and I’m struggling. Thank you so much for taking such a personal approach when making this video you’ve really helped me feel better x
I was relieved too to hear that my child is not the only child who does that because it was very strange to me, he started this behavior 2 weeks back
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free, his speaking and behavior is ok. His herbs is 100% working on ASD. I met Dr Oyalo on channel and I’m happy to share my experience about it.
When you toilet trained your son did you also have the school on board as well
yes very much so we started over summer though to make it easier for him x
I know this is a year old video but this is extremely helpful. I am so happy to have found this video
I have five children and three of them have autism my 35-year-old daughter used to do that a lot with her poop. She was having it all over the place on the walls everywhere plus clogging up my toilet but now she is so much better and cleaner withher yourself. My grand daughter is 3 and non verbal having a hard time with potty training her too.
Thank you for this video
singe father. autistic child. I don't think we will make it together. foster home, discard the idiot. save myself.
Hi Tara. Any tips on a kid who initiates going to poop but not for pee.. he is four and just pull down his pants for peeing anywhere. When asked he uses toilet but doesn't initiate.
My 5 yo he's talking just not well nor is he potty trained and I'm trying and I'm in a panic attack scared that my son will not be able to start school or he will be taken from me I'm at the point of losing my mind and I have no help he is a good boy and very sweet and he is smart it just March's to his own drum I just have no idea wtf to do
I'm so grateful for finding this video. I've been overwhelmed and embarrassed about my daughter's poo smearing and have been on youtube tiktok Instagram for about a year finding out any information about it and how to clean it and nothing. Until yesterday I just couldn't take it anymore and created my own concoction to clean it up and finally I'm able to breathe. Now I'm getting new flooring put in her room to make clean up easier. I want to potty train her but she has a fear of sitting down on the toilet so wondering if I should hold off until she's comfortable enough to sit on the toilet?
it's really important to educate ourselves on autism , what to do if you have it, and how to prevent it. contact Dr Oyalo for natural cure on his channel. I use his herbs on my son and he is autism free now
What’s your concoction?
I have a suggestion to start one thing at a time. I have started my kids to wash them on toilet after they go pee or poo( in diaper offcourse), everytime i change their diaper i wash them with water first. I have spray bidet. So now they are already used to go and sit on toilet seat and used to get washed. I am gonna start potty train them this summer. 4 1/2 yr old and 3 yr old both autistic. Hopefully it goes well. And i have an other suggestion that if you have to use pullup(yes its hard to wash carpet after kids pee and it smells bad) use underware first before putting on the pullups. So when they go they still feel the wet underware but pullups will soak the extra pee. And i learned to take your child to bathroom every half hr or so, dnt wait too long bcz otherwise they ll have an accident.
Thank you very much, love from a mother in Denmark🙏🙏🙏❤
Im autistic and idk when i stopped wearing diapers during day but i know i was 8 or 9 when i stopped wearing them at night. I just forgot to one night and didnt wet the bed and was just like “woah ig i should stop wearing them”
Thank you so much for this informative video, my son is now 5 years old and is still in pull ups. I will definitely try all the tips on this video. Thank you so much 🤗

Hello Tara I’ve been searching your book and found out that its not sold and not delivered in Australia is there sites where to buy them to Australia? Thank you appreciate it. ❤️
Do you use amazon, I'm in the uk but bought it through kindle
I live in NZ and I ordered it through book depository. It arrived within 10 days.
You’re one amazing lady... I have a friend who’s struggling with a 5 year old and still she’s not sure if he’s Autistic or is it something else... He’s doing speech therapy, but it’s hard. I hope she also finds your video helpful 🙏🏻 God bless ❤️

Crying right now overwhelmed with anxiety 😰😢😢 I know he’s ready, he doesn’t like to wear diapers anymore 😭 but he doesnt want to go in the toilet 😰
You make it sound so normal .Thank you my son is autistic and he is 5 year old in nappies
What about night time potty training??? The best way and age??
This video was so helpful, thank you xxx
I love that you said - get rid of the typical age expectations. Talk about lifting the pressure. Thank you.
🥰
My son has no interest in using the potty/ toilet just wets himself doesn't even say anything till he's wet I put the potty in the middle of the room I ask him every 15mins nothing he wants a new toy said u can have it when u use the potty #help he's 4 he's 5 in October off to school in September
Don’t worry about the time limit if you think he is not ready or hasn’t grasped it yet then try again in a few weeks. They should assist you and help you at school also x
I’ve done everything but nothing is working
I encourage all parents to take care of themselves in addition to their child. If you don't, you're not going to be much use down the road. I've watched the mother of my wife's 4 yo autistic granddaughter go from a vibrant young woman to someone who is withdrawn, depressed, and suffers from skin rashes and hair loss in this same amount of time. My wife and I see Luna 4-5 times a week and do what we can so the parents can have some limited rest. I'm glad I stayed in decent shape at 66 so I can pull Luna 2-3 miles in her Radio Flyer wagon when she comes over. I love her so much.
Hi, I'm new to your channel and so glad I came across. It's like a therapy session saying you're not alone, try this way and see if it helps. I will definitely be using your suggestions. It does get a little frustrating. My daughter is 5 and potty training. We go from regular undies n the day to pull ups at night time. Sometimes she runs away when its time to sit like its a game so I will be trying rewards for using thw potty. She is still nonverbal but she mostly her signs to communicate or sometimes words here n there. Her sleep for the most part is well but some nights she can fall asleep by 7pm but wake up recharged by 12:30am. Which is hard when its a school night. Wondering what else I can do about that. I do use melatonin but not all the night like weekends I do let her stay up a little longer to play. Maybe I'm messing up her routine?

I really loved your video! The poo smearing at the villa and the phone into the toilet when he took himself made me laugh. Thank you for being so real. You have great information and encouragement.

My ella is scared of the potty
Wondering if you have any advice for me, since I’ve reached out to everyone I can think of and everyone just keeps telling me “I don’t know” 🥺
My son will be 5 in August and when the stay at home order happened from Covid (March 2020) we decided it was time to try potty training. Per the recommendation of his occupational therapist we prompted him to go every hour, then every two hours and finally every 2-3 hours. It worked wonderfully for about 9-10 months, no accidents! He started preschool and has only had two accidents at school, the last was over 4 months ago. Super super proud of him!
However... he started having accidents at home a few months ago. Because of this, we were told to stop prompting him, so he could learn his own body. Now that we are no longer prompting him to go, he is having many many accidents at home.. still no accidents at school.
I don’t know the proper way to handle this. If I keep prompting him, he is likely not going to have accidents.. but will he ever learn to go on his own and listen to his body? We have baby brother joining us this summer, I’m sure that’s cause for the regression/accidents.. but I don’t want to be cleaning up big brothers accidents while trying to heal from delivery if I can help it.
