You are great teachers. Thank you
Bless you all!!
Very good info for going to the bathroom. Thank you. 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful for you @GodsgalMN!
thx girls need to work on my leaning forward more
Hey Darlene, that is one of the hardest things to remind yourself to do when supporting someone else with sitting or standing, but boy does it save our backs and let them do more of the work to stand and sit normally! Great noticing!
So helpful. The reaching back definitely doesn’t work (suggested by PT). So the leaning forward will hopefully be a game changer with my Dad.
❤️❤️

Hey, this great! I hear you on not mentioning bathroom or #1 or #2 however, my LO is my husband. Don't I have to care about whether he needs to pee or poop because its a different stance or should I always prompt him to sit? 🤔 I did not have boys so toileting from a man's perspective is somewhat foriegn to me
Hi, @Maxine Rice, you raise an interesting question. This technique should also work with men, but if you want to know more, please reach out to our consulting team to discuss in more detail (consult@teepasnow.com or 1-877-877-1671).
had to go straight to depends... it was either that or launder bedding and clothes twice a day....
Thanks @Michael Bowman! Thanks for recognizing what needed to change, that is our goal too!!
How do you get them to even agree to take a shower.
Hi, @J Gates, you ask a great question. How to get agreement comes down to how your approach them and what their needs are. Here's a link to a few more of our videos on this topic (czcams.com/users/teepasnowvideossearch?query=bathing) or you might visit www.teepasnow.com/shop to look for a few others. The last opion would be to contact us for a discussion at info@teepasnow.com
I can't get my mom to go pee now. Our bathroom in our apartment is small. When I get her in the bathroom to get her to get her underwear off, she pulls them back up, or just fixes them up and not take them down to go. I tried multiple ways to get her to go, but she gets mad at me. Even when I pursue to take them down she'll hit me. In the end she won't go. The only thing I can do is to change her padded underwear after she wets it. How do I get her to go.
