The Only Potty-Training Book

Mum Will Ever Need

Told by A Toddler Who’s Learning Too!

by Emma Grant — early years specialist, childcare professional & creator of Mumatherapy

Potty training doesn’t have to be a battle — or a race.
In this warm, wise, and wonderfully honest guide, early years specialist Emma Grant invites you to see toilet learning through your child’s eyes. With over twenty years of hands-on experience supporting hundreds of families, Emma blends calm, practical guidance with a deeply reassuring message: your child isn’t behind… they’re becoming ready.

Meet Noah — a bright, funny, slightly stubborn two-and-a-half-year-old who’s learning to trust his body, his mummy, and the potty. Through his cheeky, heartfelt toddler-eye view (sprinkled throughout the book in italics), you’ll finally understand what potty training feels like for a little one — the worries, the wins, the wobbles, and the “Not Today” days.

Alongside Noah’s voice, you’ll find Emma’s Mum Zen reflections: gentle, grounded takeaways to help you stay calm, confident, and connected through every stage of the journey. From early readiness signs, sensory sensitivities, neurodiversity, and big feelings, to the science behind bladder and bowel development, you’ll discover how to support your child without pressure, power struggles, or overwhelm.

With practical tips rooted in the latest 2025 parent guidance — including the shift towards introducing potty routines from 18–30 months — this book empowers you to begin whenever your child feels safe, supported, and emotionally ready.

You’ll learn how to:
• build body awareness and confidence
• set gentle routines without rigid schedules
• support older toddlers who feel anxious or resistant
• understand sensory challenges and neurodiverse needs
• create a home environment where potty learning feels safe
• stay patient, playful, and present — even on the messy days
• celebrate progress, not perfection

Above all, this book reminds you that potty training is not just a developmental skill — it’s a shared adventure, a bonding moment, and a chance for your child to feel proud of growing up.

Tender, funny, practical, and deeply reassuring — this is the only potty training book you'll ever need.

Welcome to Noah’s Potty Adventure — where puddles, patience, pride, and pants all have their place.
