Really helped my 3 year old.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2024 Verified Purchase This book has worked perfectly for my 3 year old. He has had an ongoing problem with witholding since he was potty trained which got worse in the last few weeks, requiring a trip to the doctors. He was still witholding and getting very upset when we even suggested going to the toilet until we bought this book. Now he happily uses the toilet and enjoys joining in with the ""exercises"" in the book. 5.0 out of 5 stars Interactive and fun!Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2024 Such an engaging booking for the little ones!
