Toilet training with Jo Hardie from Spewy
Today I chat with Jo Hardie, who is the founder and creator of Spewy, an innovative product born out of necessity.
In today's episode we discuss toilet training. In particular we chat about:
- the difference between day and night toilet training.
- timing - how to know when to start toilet training?
- making toilet training a positive experience
- how to manage setbacks.
Six years ago, after enduring a disastrous road trip with her three children, including an incident of car sickness, she recognised the need for a solution that would eliminate the hassle of using towels and buckets whenever children fell ill.
Determined to create something both practical and appealing to children, Jo embarked on a mission to develop a versatile product that would simplify the lives of parents everywhere.
After customer feedback Spewy now also offers a range of Bed Mats, which are discussed in this episode.
