ADHD Tip: Listen to Daniel Tiger and Go Potty Right Away

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.

ADHD Tips from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood – this one is not just for toddlers!
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!
