doing. However, she feels sometimes it’s all negative and would enjoy hearing more positive feedback about Klayton. A negative education experience for the Greene family was diffidently potty training Klayton. Angela believed that he was not ready, yet she went along with the teacher’s recommendation. In the end Klayton was not ready and still struggles with bathroom control today (A. Greene, personal communication, February 9, 2016).
