I'm Dr. Becky and this is Good Inside.

I made a choice about how to handle this.

Not sure it was the right choice and it's one of the things I'd love to talk to you about,

which is kind of the broader question of,

when do you let your kid quit something?

So when I think about this topic of quitting,

of stopping something after you've started it,

so many things come to mind.

I think about sports, I think about certain activities,

I think about friendships,

and recently I was talking with a parent who brought to me their child's sleep away camp struggles.

Here, mommy and daddy, I hate it here.

I've not made any friends, but I've tried.

And if you have even a little love in your heart for me, please come and pick me up.

We'll be right back after this.

What happens when I say, potty training?

Do you start worrying about what you need and how it will go?

I know how tricky this milestone can feel for parents.

Well, here's the thing about potty success.

How we go about the process matters,

because success on the potty isn't so much about peeing and pooping,

as much as it's about your child learning to recognize their body signals.
