Tiny Potty: a teaching book for ages 6 months and up

by Andrea Olson

Tiny Potty. The diaper-less, can-do book that teaches all the steps of potty use as early as 6 months of age. Richly illustrated with a gender-neutral, age-neutral child. Realistic potty steps are outlined in a rhyming format with fun, task-appropriate sounds. Doesn't teach negative behaviors around potty use. A teaching guide for ages 6 months and up, this book will help teach your baby or toddler during toilet training, potty training, or elimination communication (EC or infant potty training), without the messaging that they aren't "ready" or that the child needs to wait to get out of diapers. A delightful read, compact, colorful, and process-oriented! Your baby or toddler is ready when you are. Author Andrea Olson, M.A., is a pioneer in teaching parents how to easily go "diaper-free" (free from dependence upon diapers) at any age starting at birth. She has her Master's in Psychology and writes at Go Diaper Free.

This is a great book for teaching babies and toddlers about the steps of independent potty use. We started reading it to Lily before potty training her at about 18.5 months. It will be a while before she's totally independent, but I think it really helped to lay the groundwork for the steps before she tried them herself.

We especially love the "back, back, squat" and the poo page in our house. 💩

This is so cute! Our little guy loves it when I read this to him while he's on the potty. I also love that it makes using the potty a normal everyday thing we do, and doesn't reference using a diaper at all.

It's okay. A good mom-made learning tool to help with EC.

Artwork is basic, but it teaches the child well and my kids like it.
