Potty training audio books?

March 13, 2025 4:08 PM

The next hurdle in my parenting journey is potty training. I’ve got a road trip coming up. What should we listen to?

Podcasts episodes or audio books about potty training would be great. Non audio books are also fine for when I’m not driving.

There’s a good episode of Slate’s parenting podcast about potty training.

This was useful for me.

How old is your child? I personally avoided Oh Crap, though my sister in law had tremendous success with it with 4 kids.

Oh Crap really worked well for my son just before his 3rd birthday (which is older than the book suggests). Though I recommend the method the book itself is completely insufferable and I can't imagine anything more awful than listening to it as an audiobook. Get a hard copy or a well-protected Kobo so you xan skim past the worst of it and throw across the room as necessary.

Oh man yeah, do NOT listen to Oh Crap as an audiobook. I cannot even imagine how deeply irritating that would be.
