In this week’s episode of Oh Crap Potty Training, I’m focusing on the importance of balancing short-term wins with long-term goals in parenting. We’ll look at why quick fixes, like keeping your child in a crib or using sleep sacks, might feel easier now but can create challenges down the road—like dependency or bedwetting. I also discuss why proactive steps, like early night training and introducing your child to public restrooms, are essential for building long-term confidence and independence. Parenting isn’t just about managing the moment; it’s about making conscious choices that set our kids up for success in the future. Tune in for tips on how to shift your mindset and make decisions that benefit both the present and the future!
