* Everything You Need to Know about Potty Training BUT Didn’t Know to Ask

Potty Training is physical, intellectual, AND emotional milestone for children.

In this Brains in Toyland episode we are talking with Dr. Ingrid Crowther, expert childhood educator and consultant and the Executive Director of Lifelong Learn.

Dr. Crowther will talk to us about the changes a child goes through, the stages of toilet training, and strategies parents can consider. We’ll address what predicts how ready a child is to begin potty training, muscle and sensory changes, how comprehension plays a roll, and much more.
