Here's her bio and general tips: Hello I am Ceiamaria I am a stay at home Mother to 4 children ages 12,8,7 and 11 months old. I am happily married for 12 years and we are still going strong. I am determined and driven for success FAILURE isn't an option for me. I potty trained my oldest at 9 months old. My 2 middle son's were more difficult they were between 18 months and 2 years old. My baby boy was showing interest in potty training, I decided to buy him a potty chair. Potty training tips 1.) Don't rush your child 2.)Don't yell at your child 3.) Don't punish your child for having accidents 4.) Don't give you child candy 5.) Don't compare other children to your child 6.) Do praise your child 7.) Clap your hands when your child goes to the potty. 8.)Take your child every 15-30 minutes to the potty 9.)Don't criticize your child 10.) I don't recommend pull ups but I don't bash mothers who decided to use them. 11.) Remember potty training is not taught in one day you have to be determined to potty train your child.

You need to communicate with your ex and get on the same page for the girls. They deserve stability and what they’re working o at moms dad needs to continue at his house.

Definitely keeping to a schedule at both parent’s homes. You need to talk your ex and both work together for your child. I am a Sped teacher with my main focus on Autistic children so if I can help at all, please let me know! I can share ideas etc.

@anastazia.anglesey, Wow! I am so sorry you are dealing with all that! Perhaps reaching out to a lawyer and asking if the courts can put something in writing that he has to follow?
