Episode #121 Praise
One of the most common things parents say when their baby pees in the potty is: "Good job!" I used to say it too.
In fact, if you watch some of my old videos, you'll hear me praising my first baby all over the place. But after a lot of research, thought, and experience, I changed my mind.
Should we praise our babies when they use the potty? What about stickers? M&M's? Reward charts?
This is one of those topics I feel pretty strongly about, and in today's episode I'll share why I no longer praise during EC or potty training, what I do instead, and how our words can either support or undermine a child's natural motivation to use the potty.
