Re: EC: The Potty Pause/Strike
My kids didn't do strikes but I might have to switch up the location sometimes- take them in the bathroom sink and let them play in the water, bring out new and different toys (and sometimes safe objects that were not toys) as they sat on the potty, hold them over a bush outside in our back yard, take them on the toilet being held backwards and let them play with the toilet lid, etc. If they balked at one location I would immediately try another one- for example I take the child in the bathroom sink and she arches her back, I immediately walk over to the toilet and try there. If she arches her back there I would move to the potty, etc, all only if I was pretty sure she had to go. If all choices were rejected we'd put the diaper back on (or run around the back yard naked for awhile, weather and schedule permitting).
