Wants to pee outside

I came into this program with an already potty trained kid, but tonight she is literally sobbing in the bathroom because we caught her trying to pee outside in the yard and picked her up and took her into the bathroom. She ‘s locked herself in (we have a key, that’s not a problem) and when I ask her why she doesn’t want to pee in the toilet all she’ll say is she wants to “pee on the plants.” I asked if she’d like to water the plants instead and she said “no.” We have been cleaning out my Grandfathers house the last two weeks and I know she went outside at least once or twice (I’m guessing because she didn’t know where the potty was even though she can ask me) so maybe it’s just a new thing she’s discovered? She can talk, but not quiet enough to really explain herself so I have no idea how to handle this!

Answer:

Thank you for your question! This is one of those questions that I promise you we are going to laugh about in a few years! The short answer here is that as long as you stick to your guns and do not let her pee outside, she will get over this in a few days and move on to something else. BUT this is a great teaching opportunity for her, as well. I do not know how old she is so you can tweak this advice based on her ability level and what you think would work best for her, but if she continues to bring up the topic of peeing outside I would wait until she is calm and have a conversation about it in whatever terms you think she would best understand. Definitely do NOT try to have a full conversation when she is upset, but wait until maybe an hour later or the next day and start with something along the lines of, "Let's talk about what was upsetting you last night." Key talking points would be:
- Appropriate places to go potty (bathroom at home, bathroom at school, etc.)
- What to do when we don't know where the potty is (ask a grown up)
- Why we should not pee on plants ("pee pee can kill plants")
- What makes plants grow (water, sunlight, etc.)
- What we can do when we are upset (ex. take deep breaths, ask to take a break, go for a walk, etc.)
I think offering for her to water the plants is a great idea. Maybe you can even get her her own small special plant for outside that it can be her job to water everyday! Let us know how it goes either in your next Zoom call or on "Ask a Coach." Good luck!

  20. Aw, this was an extremely nice post. Finding the time and actual effort to produce a great article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a whole lot and never manage to get anything done.

  21. Wow that was odd. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyhow, just wanted to say great blog!

  23. Hello guys, I actually figured to mention something I accidentally discovered as browsing entertainment articles. Following a chill multiplayer grind, I ended up reading a random post about some modern internet-based gaming-casino brand that from what I understood has a stated international license.

    I’m not posting this to advertise some random site, but from the perspective of a person who spends too much time online, I found the whole thing kind of unusual. The main thing that grabbed my eye was that the post described the site as available for many regions. Of course, the claim does not mean that anyone can join inside literally every country. Local restrictions still apply, and every player should read the own restrictions before playing.

    Still, the idea sounded surprisingly different. The article claimed that the casino was made for users from different countries, with options that seem much more accessible than outdated casino sites. It talked about simple registration, clean UX, tablet support, and various payment systems.

    As a player, I always pay attention to the layout first. When a site is laggy, I usually lose interest right away. The article made the brand sound clean, which is not a small thing because in 2026 players are used to smooth games. A bad interface can damage even a good site.

    The regulation part was also worth noting. There are countless random casino sites online, and many of them push loud promises without proving much. So when an article focuses on international licensing, that at least makes me take it more seriously. But again, for me, I would still look up the legal info myself before using anything.

    The article also mentioned content variety. It sounded like the site has classic slots, traditional casino games, and streamed casino games. I know table games are obviously separate from esports, but there is still some overlap in how services try to keep visitors engaged. Things like animations, timed promos, and quick feedback loops are present in both gaming.

    One thing I liked in the article was that it apparently bring up controlled gambling. This is important, because deposits are involved. Gaming should stay controlled, not become something unhealthy. The article mentioned things like spending limits, break tools, and account controls. In my opinion, any modern casino platform should include those controls by default.

    Another curious part was the multi-region audience. The article made it sound like the brand is not just focused on one market, but on multiple regions. That sounds interesting, especially for people who travel, but it also means everyone need to be responsible. Cross-border does not automatically mean legal everywhere. There are usually unsupported countries, and those lists should be confirmed before signing up.

    I also thought about how casino are becoming more like gaming apps. They focus on instant access, account dashboards, and quick use. For older casino websites, the experience sometimes felt dated. But newer ones seem to understand that players expect high-quality design. That does not make a casino automatically trustworthy, but it does show that the platform is at least thinking about user experience.

    The payment side also sounded fairly important. The article mentioned that the platform supports multiple deposit options, which can be important for multi-country users. But that is another area where people should verify the terms. Withdrawal rules are very important, because a site can look modern, but if withdrawals are slow, then the experience becomes not worth it.

    To be clear, I am not trying to say this brand is perfect. I just found the review interesting because it shows how the online casino industry is evolving. More platforms are trying to look trustworthy, and more of them are using entertainment-focused design. For people who follow digital platforms, that is pretty interesting to watch.

    Have anyone else here read similar posts about new online casinos? Do you think international licensing actually makes a real difference, or do you mostly care about user reviews? I am mostly curious from the online entertainment perspective, not trying to convince anyone. And, of course, if someone decides to try any casino site, they should check local laws, read the terms, protect their budget, and act responsibly.
