About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is showing signs of readiness for the potty but is hesitant to take the first step, or if they are feeling discouraged by early accidents. It is especially helpful for children who respond well to caretaking roles, as it allows them to learn the process by teaching a fictional friend. The story features Digger the Dragon, a relatable character who needs guidance on how to use the potty. By teaching Digger, children learn to recognize their own body's signals, understand the importance of patience, and build the confidence needed to transition out of diapers. The tone is encouraging and focuses on the idea that mastery takes time and practice. It is ideal for ages 2 to 4 as a gentle introduction or a motivational tool during the mid-training slump.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and pragmatic. It treats the physical aspects of potty training (accidents, body signals) with a direct, normalizing approach. There are no heavy emotional or sensitive topics beyond the typical anxiety associated with new developmental milestones.
