Poo Goes to Pooland
'Externalising' stories have proved valuable in engaging children in behavioural treatment programmes within a family therapy context. However, you may find them useful in combination with your chosen therapeutic style.
The style and content of 'Poo Goes Home to Pooland' was designed to suit the cognitive development stage of children up to around seven years of age. Individual illustrations and accompanying text are intended to promote understanding of toileting mattersand to relieve anxiety. They cover topics such as sharing unhappy feelings and how to recognise when you need a poo.
Talking about 'Pooland' might help you to engage a child in getting control of their poo.

Total game changer for our three year old! Thank you so much for this app. Giving it give stars for the effect it's had on our lives. Only glitch we've experienced is that the sound cuts out if she hits the play button too many times, but that serves her right!
Sound doesn't work well, buttons cause overlapping sounds to play. Page turns sometimes mute audio (why does this have a mute button on every page?). The content is what the content is, but there are all of maybe ten screens of it, and no variation or other stories that would have made this worthwhile. AND WHY DOES THE POOP COUGH AFTER LAUGHING?
Great app - when it works 🤔 This worked once and my son loved it, it really helped him, but then it stopped working! Reinstalled but no sound at all! Frustrating as he now keeps asking for it. Will keep trying, but it says app is for an older version. Would be nice if you could customise with the child's name and gender.
Good little story to encourage toilet use in little ones. For those saying it doesn't work and they can't get past first page you have to swipe left and right on your phone screen to progress the story. Could have been made clearer by app developers but still useful
Brilliant idea and hopefully will help little one with toilet training, the reason for 3 stars is that the sound is intermittent, so often we get halfway through the story and the sound narration and sound effects stop
Excellent app! I definitely recommend it. My daughter was potty trained completely after she watched it twice.
Great app, thank you for making it. It helps my child too. Wish you could customise gender of the child in the story though. Sound a bit hit & miss too at times, but if you go back a step it works again
I would give it a better rating, but i pressed play story and all it did was put ne on a screen saying "Poo was shy with people, Poo just wanted to go home" And i could do nothing else but tap. And tapping did nothing. So it did not work for me which is sad cos it probably would be a good game. Im sorry to those who had it working cos its probably loads o fun
Really resonated with my child who was stuck in a stage of not progressing with going to the toilet. Think this made a big difference and wonderfully interactive.
It is very cute and my 5 year old sister finds it very funny but the bad thing is she goes into the craft box and gets the googly eyes and stickes them on to the poo so can you change it so there less like googly eyes
Really helpful to keep my child sitting on the toilet longer and to teach her about poo and what she needs to do! Helped my little ones a lot.
this app is great. the people that are saying it doesnt work. YOU HAVE TO SWIPE TO GET TO THE NEXT PAGE!!!!
This has been the best little story I have came a cross my son who is autistic and struggles with the toliet and because of this story he now gose all the time to the toliet made him under stand a bit better of why and how you need to go so thank you very much
Great, works well. Short story, straight to point for wee one to understand
Horrible gives children the wrong impression as now a friend of mine little girl doesn't want to go to the toilet anywhere else but home. Not sure how this app is supposed to help
involve because it's really weird but funny and everyone you don't tap you swipe
Excellent app for potty training when little fella couldn't figure out when poos were coming
This app is the stupidest thing that not just will take up space and storage, there is no point to this app what so ever. There is no purpose for this to be on my RECOMENDED section, this app is just straight up stupid, PERIOD
the first scene is intriging and intense but i wanna see where poo ends up FIX THE BUGS
Omg I love this game it reminds me of when I poo myself Haha its so good once i played it so much i forgot to go to he bathroom and I pood myself please get it it's so good
Loveit loveit loveit. It makes my children poop like i have never seen the poop before. I like that huge mass if you know what i mean 😉😉😉 can't wait for a sequel.❤❤❤
Really helpful. My child enjoyed using it too! 10 out of 10
My daughter was terrified of pooping on the toilet. Less than 2 days with the app and she went to the toilet on her own and pooped!
It's funny and great for kids education 😎😎😎
Life-changing. Inspirational. A roller coaster of emotions.
this did not work for my child ,he now comforts his poo and it is very disturbing
Bit gutting really. Had so many people recommend this. But I've downloaded it and it gets stuck on the first page. I then downloaded it onto work phone and it works but no audio at all. Seems like a great idea but not a great app. I uninstalled and reinstalled on both occasions and same problems on both phones, none are that old
