    The Discipline Issue…

    The Discipline Issue…

    by Mia Von Scha | behaviour, boundaries, discipline, tantrums | 0 comments

    Potty talk…

    by Mia Von Scha | toddler toilet training, toilet training, toilet training toddlers | 0 comments

    Potty training isn’t the easiest thing to do, but for the most part it runs fairly smoothly – a couple of accidents here and there, a bit of frustration, many hours of potty entertainment, and eventual mastery.
