Potty training isn't just about what happens in the bathroom.
Stress, anxiety, sensory needs, and regulation all play a huge role in whether a child is ready to learn. Sometimes the biggest potty training breakthroughs happen when we start supporting our child outside of the bathroom.
In this week's podcast episode, I'm sharing why stress can stall potty training and practical ways to help your child feel more successful.

Wondering if your autistic child is ready for potty training? In this episode, I'm breaking down the readiness signs I look for before starting the potty training process. We'll talk about why age doesn't determine readiness, the foundational skills that make potty training easier, and what to focus on if your child isn't quite there yet. If you've been asking yourself, "Should we start potty training?" this episode will help you feel more confident about the next steps.

Are you constantly repeating yourself, modeling the same skills, and relying on visuals and wondering if you're doing enough?
In this episode, we're talking about the teaching strategies that often feel too simple or too repetitive, but are actually some of the most effective ways to support autistic children. Learn why repetition, modeling, visual supports, slowing down expectations, and breaking skills into smaller steps are powerful tools for skill development...and why "doing more" isn't always the answer.
In this episode, we're talking about one of the most powerful behavior tools you use every single day…your attention. Learn how attention influences behavior, why some behaviors keep increasing, and how to use connection intentionally to decrease challenging behaviors and support emotional regulation in autistic children.
If you're ready for more support, guidance, and practical strategies, join my membership! Inside, you'll get access to my Behavior & Meltdown Online Course, ongoing coaching and collaboration from me, and you can attend my live workshop on decreasing challenging behaviors. You don't have to figure this out alone.

I often hear from parents that their child has autism but they still don't quite understand what that means. It can be a complicated topic because it looks so incredibly different from person to person. Listen to this episode to get a brief overview of what exactly autism is and what it looks like for your child.
The research shows that people with autism also have a difficult time with going to sleep and staying asleep. Listen to today's episode for the strategies that you can implement today to help you child with their sleeping habits.

At some point, it's likely that your child is going to reach the age or development level to understand that they are different from others. In this episode I share tips for how to approach the conversation of telling your child he or she has autism. This isn't going to be appropriate for every family, but if you find that you are wanting to tell your child about their autism diagnosis, I hope you find this helpful!
