Join GP Rebecca Overton and behaviour analyst Renee Collins as they unpack what’s really driving toileting difficulties in children and why the usual “three-day” toilet training advice often isn’t enough.

In this episode:
Clarify toilet training “readiness” beyond age alone, including four practical readiness skills GPs can discuss with families
Explore why toilet refusal and nappy preference for bowel movements are such common referral issues
Gain practical ways to frame and support motivation, from environmental set-up to realistic rewards that match the child’s effort
Learn how to reframe accidents and partial progress, use graded goals, and recognise when it’s time to pause, persist, or refer to a behaviour analyst for additional support
