00:17:23 Candace Kielbiski: We will start with Yelena today\ 00:18:23 Dr. Laura Markham: Welcome Everyone to our June Office Hours! 00:22:37 Sedda (Bug): What would the opinion be of a short term session of rewards (1-2 weeks) just to reset the body clock? Too much of a hole? 00:22:54 Candace Kielbiski: Catherine, we are also struggling with late bedtimes right now 00:23:18 Sedda (Bug): These time zone changes hit hard at our house too. 00:35:40 Candace Kielbiski: Jolita you are nest 00:36:51 Esther James: agreed! :) 00:38:17 Sedda (Bug): Hodges? 00:38:20 Heidi Whipple: Dr. Stephen Hodges? 00:38:54 Candace Kielbiski: https://www.bedwettingandaccidents.com/ 00:39:08 Candace Kielbiski: Steve Hodges website is posted just above 00:39:58 Sedda (Bug): https://www.constipationgurus.com also use his teachings. 00:43:55 Sedda (Bug): Jolita, that is superhero's work! Really impressive. I can't imagine the patience you had to draw from to stick with that for so long. 00:48:24 Candace Kielbiski: Next two questions in the queue: 00:48:30 Candace Kielbiski: Saba 00:48:34 Candace Kielbiski: Maryna 00:49:09 Rachel D: I've heard about "shotblockers" to help with the pain of vaccines. 00:49:17 Wren: Listening closely here...my kiddo is afraid of needles and getting shots too. Play did not seem to help with mine either, or at least in a way that got practical results at the doctor's office. The last time we went two days, waiting a couple hours each day… 00:51:47 Candace Kielbiski: Sorry, my chat is acting up- 00:52:08 Candace Kielbiski: Saba and Martyna are up next 00:52:16 Reshmi Elbaba: Yes it really does sound like anxiety- I have seen how my family manage anxiety by over planning. I think things that help her laugh would really help in the longer term, she needs to work through the fear somehow 00:53:15 Reshmi Elbaba: Jolita I am so so inspired by the time and efforts you have made and continue to want to make 00:54:03 Reshmi Elbaba: Yes i need to have a plan A, B and then an executable plans Z!! So planning for those events should help her too hopefully x 01:02:38 Esther James: potty does always resolve! I carried a small portable potty in my backpack at Disney world for my 4 year old. LOL 01:02:49 Heidi Whipple: For some laughter, is she will flush toilet you can jump and giggle when she surprises you with the flush 01:04:13 Esther James: yes. my daughter was able to start using real potty day before kindergarten. she needed a lot of special time and care from me to get thru this. we had a "festival" to support transition to real potty with a cake. 01:05:36 Candace Kielbiski: https://www.handinhandparenting.org/2013/08/playthroughpottytraining/ 01:08:35 Esther James: by the way... my daughter, now 8, still hates noises of public and school bathrooms (loud flush toilets, loud hand drying machines). so she definitely has anxiety. she has learned to manage it by covering her ears, etc. I do agree with dr. Laura based on my experience with my daughter that you won't have to keep carrying potty in your car forever. I feel like it's a developmental thing for a 4 year old. 01:10:41 🍀🦄Jolita: The daughter I was talking about weted the bed too! I just relaxed about it and put the diper on. And! When I let go of the idea that there is smth wrong with her she took the diaper off! By herself. And she only had two accidents in the last 4 or 5 months! 01:10:49 Chaya Weinberg: My pediatrician said it’s normal for five-six year olds to wear diapers/pull ups at night. Many kids aren’t physically ready at night…my kids wore pull-ups for a while and they all grew out of it themselves 01:11:13 Sedda (Bug): My mother in law would make up the bed with 2-3 layers of sheets and felt rubber mats. When the top layer was wet, she would peel it off and throw it in the bathtub. Dry layer underneath. Back to sleep. 01:11:19 🍀🦄Jolita: She is almost 6.5 by the way. 01:11:22 Lindsey Etheridge: Martyna you are amazing! I’m so sorry you were made to feel like you are not enough. You are so much more than enough! Potty problems are discouraging and it sounds like you are doing a wonderful job trying to support your child through this. 01:12:42 Sedda (Bug): sent too soon….It is so hard to be up all night with wet sheets! This won't solve your problem, but might help you in the night (sheet layers) so you can at least get a little more rest while you are working it out….I'm sorry your dr does not understand how much connection you work on with your child. 01:13:05 Heidi Whipple: Multiple of my kids wet the bed, and here in the US our pediatricians and specialists have always treated it as a medical problem not an emotional problem. We use waterproof mattress pads and disposable nighttime underwear (Good-Nites here in the US). This keeps the bed clean and is so much less work. 01:15:06 Candace Kielbiski: We have this awesome product available in Canada. I used it on the bed for both of my children https://www.peapodmats.com/pages/kids?gclid=Cj0KCQjwzLCVBhD3ARIsAPKYTcS1PbCzwji-8vVqUZ9uNiQ9R0XlI2w31J3NIjZk2EhTmsF3pCdxu6YaAqNtEALw_wcB 01:15:20 Chaya Weinberg: Thanks! 01:16:15 Martyna Hempel: Thank you very much !!!! 01:21:43 Heidi Whipple: I've had 3 kids in one room for the past year. When we started, all 3 kids had a different bedtime and it actually worked really well for us to have those staggered bedtimes. We did the rest of the bedtime routine in another room. 01:21:47 Martyna Hempel: Grat ideas! Thanks a lot!!! Many layers! Great! 01:24:19 Candace Kielbiski: For those who are interested https://www.ahaparenting.com/read/crib-to-toddler-bed 01:25:33 Candace Kielbiski: https://www.ahaparenting.com/read/helping-your-toddler-learn-to-put-himself-to-sleep 01:26:14 Heidi Whipple: A nice transition might be to sit in the doorway or hallway 01:26:44 Heidi Whipple: Then you are nearby and it settles them, but you're not really with them either. I read a book so I'm not interacting with the kids when I do this. 01:42:21 Allison Henderson: Thank you Dr. Markham! 01:42:21 Catherine: Thank you! 01:42:32 Martyna Hempel: Thank you!!! 01:42:35 Chaya Weinberg: Thank you! 01:42:52 Natalia Johnson: thank you
