Reviews & Testimonials

Gilly has been an absolute pleasure to meet and work with, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. My daughter who is nearly 3.5 had been struggling with toilet training for a while, not the concept of it, but a fear of release on the toilet. We tried several times to get her to part with her nappies, but each attempt felt like we were taking steps back rather than forward, merely adding further fear.

We called on Gilly, and after spending just an hour with my daughter, and advising us on how to move forward, within no time she was now weeing on the toilet. The after care that Gilly gave was also so important to us, and she gave us such incredible support. Thank you so very much Gilly. You have helped us turn a corner we were worried we would never turn!

We purchased your book as we are experiencing terrible problems with our daughter doing poos in her knickers all day long and not the toilet/potty as she is so frightened. We have been reading the book every day so far and it has already improved.

My daughter has been experiencing a huge fear doing a poo on the potty/toilet. This book completely sums up what my daughter is going through and clearly reassured her. She wants to read it again and again and has started to feel more comfortable with trying to do a poo. I highly recommend this book for anyone who’s child is also challenged by this.

I have 3 little girls who have all suffered while withholding stools. They absolutely loved this book. They understood the familiar story of a little girl who was too busy playing to go to the toilet, and they loved seeing Polly reunited with her family. Its a simple concept and the words and illustrations were spot on. Great book for reading to your child. Highly recommended by my daughters!

Yesterday I read my daughter the book five times as her request! Today my daughter did a poo on the loo for the first time in many months. Thank you!!
