Teaching a Language That Is Not Yours My daughter is two and a half years old and we are trying to teach her to go potty. She is currently sitting on the potty while I'm writing this post and literally crying because she doesn't want to remain seated on it. It's really hard to bring up a toddler. I mean when they're acting out, crying for no reason and don't listening to you it's really tough... My little girl is the apple of my eyes and I have lots of great moments with her. We've been sharing this second language together since she's 4 months old. Sometimes I have the feeling of being not as good as I expect and I encounter situations in which I'm not sure of certain phrases or expressions. When she makes my head spinning and I have to deal with her mood, it's hard to respond to her quickly.
