Singing fun songs and rhymes is a popular activity to add to your ‘potty breaks’. I love them! They are FUN! They can become another tool for your EC Toolbox.

“When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.”
George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950)
Consider these 12 likely benefits of singing potty songs and using potty cheers:
- Helps your baby to relax to go, your warm friendly voice is soothing…
- Keeps baby, (and you) entertained as baby does their business…
- Aids you in being ‘mindful’; living in the moment with your child…
- Assists in helping your baby transition from when they signal a need until arriving at the potty place, (on the way to the bathroom!)
- A bright and interactive cue, reminding them it is potty time, letting you know if they start to sing it, even being a ‘sound’ reminder if you notice signs they need to go and want to draw attention to the potty in a subtle way to encourage self-initiation.
- Helps others – siblings, grandparents & carers assist baby with ease as baby relaxes with and knows the songs are for fun…
- Offers your child appropriate language to recognise and later communicate their need to go…
- An opportunity to practise sign language with the songs…
- A modelling activity you can do with toys to practice toilet skills.
- Makes going to the toilet (and simply EC’ing) a normal everyday activity with your bright positive approach…
- A way to add interest and cooperative play to avoid or minimize a potty pause.
- A celebration of your connection when yet another pee goes in the pot!
WOW! I’ll bet you are keen to increase your singing, so here’s some inspiration to get you going:
