Listen Daniel Tiger, I know, I know…but it’s so hard to STOP.
If you’re a mom with ADHD, you know exactly what I’m talking about. And it’s not the kids. Add some pelvic floor weakness and we have ourselves a…situation.
When you have to go potty, stop and go right away (song) Lyrics from PBS KIDS - Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood I don't want to stop playing with my blocks, but I really got to go to the potty Go right away! Go right away! If you have to go potty, STOP! and go right away flush and wash and be on your way I know it's hard to stop when you're having fun, but it's ok to stop playing when it's potty time, potty time If you have to go potty, STOP! and go right away flush and wash and be on your way I know when it's potty time cuz I'm wigglin' from side to side Everything is going to be ok because after potty time we'll get to play If you have to go potty, STOP! and go right away flush and wash and be on your way
Let’s not underestimate the power of Daniel Tiger. In our ADHD house, we sing this chorus all the time. See someone wiggling? Been a while since someone has gotten up? Catching YOURSELF hyperfocused on a task and wiggling in your chair? If you have to go potty, STOP and go right away!
Confession: I about my peed my pants writing this post, because I had the idea for the post when I realized I had been putting off getting up to use the bathroom. And now I’m in a bit of a situation…
