Raising Good Humans

Listener Q&A: Biting, Potty Training, Separation Anxiety & Early Lying

Raising Good Humans

Show Notes

I answer four listener questions—toddler biting, potty training pressure, emotional daycare drop-offs, and early “lying” in preschoolers—breaking down what’s developmentally normal, what to do in the moment, and the practical, compassionate strategies that actually help (without shame, power struggles, or panic).
