    Mia was becoming a big girl now, and it was time to learn new things. Potty training was on top of the list.

    Her mom was patient and understanding. She explained, 'Mia, it's okay to make mistakes while learning. Remember, practice makes perfect.'

    Mia's best friend, Leo, was already potty trained. He shared, 'I felt scared at first too, Mia. But it gets easier, promise!'

    Mia’s mom added, 'Remember to wash your hands after using the bathroom, Mia. It’s very important to stay clean.'

    Grandma had a special tip for Mia, 'Sweetheart, a little song can make potty time fun. Let's create one together.'

    Leo and Mia giggled as they created a silly potty-time song. It made the whole process less intimidating for Mia.

    Mia’s mom gently reminded her, 'It’s okay to wake up at night to use the bathroom, Mia. It’s part of the process.'

    Leo supported his friend, 'That’s right, Mia. Even superheroes have to wake up to use the bathroom sometimes.'

    Days passed, and Mia was getting better at it. She learned to listen to her body and ask for help when needed.

    Mia's mom was proud. 'You're doing great, Mia. Remember, it's okay to ask for help. Everyone learns at their own pace.'

    Grandma smiled and said, 'You're doing a wonderful job, Mia. Remember, every little victory is a step towards growing up.'

    Leo gave a thumbs up, 'You're a potty pro now, Mia! See, we told you it gets easier.' And they all cheered for Mia's success.
