Episode 11 - Managing Accidents
06/12/24 • 8 min
Potty training accidents significantly impact your child's experience and progress. In this episode, Rebecca explains how to navigate accidents with confidence. This episode will also help you know how to overcome common challenges you might encounter alongside accidents, such as resistance from your child or procrastination.
Using Rebecca’s ‘neutral narrative’ approach, you can avoid making the most common mistake of expressing disappointment or frustration and instead, focus on the task at hand, involving your child in cleanup efforts, and using accidents as teachable moments for hygiene and self-care skills.

Episode 2 - Helping Your Child Develop The Core Skills Of Body Awareness
In the previous episode, Rebecca explained why body awareness is crucial for potty training. This episode provides six simple yet effective strategies to help your child develop this vital skill in preparation for stopping using nappies.
These strategies will help your child connect their body's signals with what is happening in their nappy and understand how to respond. Remember, fostering independence is a gradual process. Just like teaching your child to feed themselves, walk, and communicate, preparing them for potty training involves taking it step by step.
Every child develops at their own pace, but most will be capable of complete independence in toileting by the age of five. To help you along the way, check out the Potty Skills Grid in the Podcast Companion Guide that accompanies this series. https://littlebunnybear.etsy.com/uk/listing/1729632960/potty-training-guide
