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.

At the time of recording this episode, we recommended that you purchase Rebecca’s podcast companion guide for more comprehensive support - including our Poo Doh recipe. This will be available until January 2026, at which point Rebecca's second book Positively Potty will replace it as the best available potty training resource.
