The Go Potty™ Podcast

There is a moment that many families find themselves in: when potty learning seems to stall, or even stop completely and you feel a bit stuck.In this episode, I talk about why this happens, what it often tells us about a child’s development, and how breaking potty learning down into smaller, manageable steps can help things move forward again - calmly and without pressure.The holidays often bring changes to routine, which can make potty learning feel a little wobbly. I can help you slow things down and focus on small, supportive steps instead.And if you’re listening over the festive break, it’s also a reminder that progress doesn’t have to be big or busy. Little steps can be especially helpful during quieter moments together.At the time of recording this episode, we recommended that you purchase Rebecca’s podcast companion guide for more comprehensive support.
