Enjoy the second half of our conversation with Dr. Nilofer Naqvi, this time covering the big topic of potty training, transitioning to a toddler bed and more! Really fascinating insights on potty training, which sure blew our newbie mom minds. Again, send us any questions that this episode may have triggered!
Stuff we talked about:
- Early Childhood Development Chart
- In reference to Vygotsky- this curriculum has been developed to address many of his theories on self regulation, control of executive functioning and adaptation of rules into play. http://toolsofthemind.org/learn/tools-for-parents/

The society for research in child development (SRCD) is the main research body on young child development. They send out research briefs that are very informative, cover a range of topics and are grounded in the most recent empirical research http://www.srcd.org/policy-med
