In this episode I discuss a recent encounter Savannah had with an older child, while no harm was done it got me thinking. It is obviously important to teach out children about their body, their privacy and their boundaries, but it is also just as important to teach them to respect other children's boundaries. With 39% of child SAs in 2023/2024 being classed as child on child we need to ensure we are teaching our children early and in an age appropriate way.

Feeling a sense on dread over potty training? Emotionally exhausted by the process? Wishing they were still in nappies a little longer? I did!

In this episode I discuss my thoughts and opinions as I am 1 month into the potty training journey with Savannah. There are tips and tricks I have learnt along the way, and whether you are yet to start or are elbow deep in the trenches I hope you find this helpful.

For those of you who have come out the other side of potty training, I look forward to joining your club!
