After struggling for what seemed like an eternity with potty training his toddler son, former French and IT teacher and dad of 2 (with the 3rd arriving imminently) Simon Harris from Essex had a fun idea.
“My three-year-old son Luke has been a little bit slow with his potty training so I decided to write a little story to try and help him – it’s called ‘Little Budgie’s Done A Fudgie.’
It’s a little bit ‘out there’ as far as titles go, however to my amazement he really identified with Little Budgie and how Mummy Budgie has helped him to keep trying and get there in the end.”
Seeing the progress his son was making, with Luke feeling more confident and more like a “big boy”, Simon (Or Mr Harris as he has been called for several years) thought this could be great for fellow parents too.
“I thought to myself ‘why not?’ and I asked someone to draw some cartoons to put a proper book together – I have now put it on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats.”
At a time when parents can be comparing to how their friends children are doing, being noticeable at an older age for wearing a nappy and perhaps with pre school in the not too distant future ‘Little Budgie’s Done A Fudgie.’ could be the fun answer.
Creating something fun as well as educational at what can be a very stressful time has helped numerous parents and their kids already.
Luke has delighted his parents by telling them,
‘Daddy I am going fudgie like little Budgie’ a few times while trying to use the potty!
Something just a few months ago he would have refused to do causing upset for him as well as for his mummy and daddy.
