Episode 3
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
