Lesson Summary:
Max Dahmen (LCSW), founder of Life Empowered Therapy Services, explains that toilet training regression in preschool or the early grades can stem from anxiety around transitions, accessibility issues at school, clothing challenges, or even testing limits.
He encourages parents and teachers to work together to reduce stress through thoughtful drop off routines, practical bathroom supports, clear communication, and calm boundary setting so children feel safe and capable again.
