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

I mean, I think there are times when perhaps during the meltdown where my daughter's emotions

are really intense.

I guess she's really feeling them all the way and perhaps we're like as parents trying

to get from point A to point B or trying to get her to do something and it's just like

we can't really do any of that because there's a lot of feelings and a lot of yelling and

screaming.

I think there are moments that those times where I'm kind of stuck.

I don't know how to proceed.

I don't feel like there's almost a certain level of emotional outburst that is triggering

to me.

Meltdowns are hard and they often feel even harder to manage when they happen in public.

In fact, I know public meltdowns are one of the most common triggers for us parents.

Because I remember the line from my childhood of like there being reasons why you should

cry and reason why you shouldn't.

I just struggle with how to approach those situations at times.

We'll work on these tricky situations together right after this.

What happens when I say potty training?

If 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.
