Episode 5 - Be Playful With Wee And Poo

06/12/24 • 7 min

In this episode we explore the power of play in the potty training journey. Play isn't just about fun—it's a powerful learning tool. Through stories, toys, and role-play, children can grasp important concepts, including potty training. Research shows that the funnier you can make it, the more your child will learn and remember.
In this episode, Rebecca also introduces you to two of her all-time favourite friends—Mr. Poo and Mrs. Wee. Using creative activities like Poo Doh and the Balloon Game, you can help your child understand and become comfortable with their bodily functions.
You can access the Poo Doh recipe and much more in our Podcast Companion Guide https://littlebunnybear.etsy.com/uk/listing/1729632960/potty-training-guide

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
