About
If toileting has become a daily battle in your house, you're not alone and there's a good chance the missing piece isn't willpower, rewards, or trying harder. It's regulation. This masterclass takes you through the whole picture of what's actually happening in your child's body when toileting feels hard, and gives you a practical, nervous system led approach to work with it, not against it. What You'll Learn: Positioning & Posture: The physical setup that makes it possible for the body to actually let go Nervous System Regulation: The real science behind why calm has to come before capable Interoception & the Eight Senses: Understanding the internal signals your child is (or isn't) picking up Visual Supports: How stories, schedules and videos help a child rehearse what's coming Environment: Simple changes that make the bathroom feel safe, not overwhelming Constipation: What's really going on, and practical, gentle ways to help Withholding: Why it happens, how it differs from constipation, and why it's rarely defiance Fear: Naming it, understanding it, and easing it without forcing anything A Home Plan: You leave with more than information, you leave with a starting point Who This Is For: Parents and caregivers of tamariki who are struggling with toileting for any reason. Whether that's fear, withholding, sensory sensitivities, constipation, or simply not knowing where to start. Whether you're just beginning this journey or you've tried everything and feel stuck, this masterclass meets you where you are.
