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 including 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.

How to Use the Potty Heart Heroes™
Potty learning is as much an emotional journey as it is a physical one.
Toddlers often feel big things in their bodies long before they have the words to explain them. The Potty Heart Heroes are gentle visual tools designed to help children show how they are feeling about trying, especially when talking feels hard.
Invite your child to point to the heart that best shows how they feel right now. There is no right or wrong answer. The goal is communication, not compliance.
When children feel understood, their bodies begin to relax. When the body feels safe and calm, learning becomes possible.
By linking emotion, body awareness, and choice, the Potty Heart Heroes help children feel more secure, confident, and ready to try again, in their own time.
