Potty Time Storybooks
Parent introduces special potty-themed books that child can look at while sitting on the toilet, creating a positive association with bathroom time. The agent coaches the parent to observe engagement with the books, willingness to sit on the potty, and emerging understanding of bathroom routines — supporting the transition from diapers while fostering early literacy.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Have 2-3 children's books available, ideally including at least one about potty training or bathroom routines. Child should be in a calm, alert mood. Potty or toilet should be accessible but not required for initial book exploration.
