[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had this issue with DS for a while. We did our own CBT by making it a point to use the public bathroom whenever we were out and about, no matter if they were gross or had super loud flushes. He still is reluctant to go in public places, but Will and school is no longer an issue.

Maybe start by reaching out to the nurse or guidance counselor, because often they have their own restrooms which she could use and they are generally quiet and clean. You could also tell her to use the bathroom shortly before lunch or just before school is out when other kids are less likely to be using it too. Eventually she will come around. Good luck![/quote]

That’s not CBT. That’s just teaching your kid not to be a p***y. [/quote]

Don’t listen to potty mouth trying to give potty advice. CBT and exposure therapy are effective ways to address anxiety and avoidant behaviors. Use public restrooms wherever and whenever you can to normalize these situations. [/quote]
