Motherhood has been the most rewarding journey, but at times, it’s also felt isolating. As a longtime dancer, I longed for a space where I could move, reconnect with myself—and bring my baby along. When I couldn’t find that space, I created it. Groove & Grow was born from my desire to blend the joy of dance with early motherhood, offering a supportive community for pregnant mums and new parents. That’s why I started running Baby Dance Club classes: the existing options were either just for babies or solely for parents—and in “mums and bubs” classes, you had to stop…

What is the right age to start toilet training?

Daytime wee (urinary) and poo (faecal) toilet training is usually achieved by 4 years of age. But how do you know when is the right time or age to start toilet training your child? The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all; rather, it’s a consideration that involves understanding your child’s developmental readiness and resources available.  Toilet training readiness signs  Most children start training between 18 and 24 months of age (Albaramki, et al., 2017).
