The Little Steps Method, developed by Rebecca, offers a gentle and gradual path for children who may feel anxious or hesitant about potty training.

Rebecca draws from her wealth of experience as a children's research nurse and potty training consultant to outline the steps involved in this method. From placing nappies in the bathroom to gradually replacing them with toilet paper, each step is carefully designed to build confidence and comfort in the potty training journey.

Discover how to create a supportive environment for your child, allowing them to progress at their own pace while providing encouragement and positive reinforcement along the way. With detailed guidance provided in the companion guide, you can navigate the Little Steps Method with ease and confidence.

At the time of recording this episode, we recommended that you purchase Rebecca’s podcast companion guide for more comprehensive support. 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.
