Book CoverStress-free potty training : A commonsense guide to finding the right approach for your child
by Sara Au
PJT 649.62 AU

Successful potty training begins with knowing your child's personality. Is your toddler frightened of the process, afraid even to go near the bathroom? Or does he or she seem to know when it's time to go, but can't quite make it there in time? Stress-Free Potty Training helps you identify the best ways to approach this process, depending on your child's temperament. The book distinguishes between common childhood personality types, providing easy techniques tailor-fit for your child, whether he or she is stubborn or willful, clinging to diapers, afraid to move on, or just a late-bloomer. You'll find out how to: determine your child's readiness to begin potty training, be a potty role model, gradually move the child past his or her existing comfort zone, without causing undue pressure, handle accidents and temporary setbacks.

Book Cover Early-start potty training
by Linda Sonna
PTJ 649.62 SON

The time-tested, gentle, and successful method that introduces children to potty training as early as six months While parents around the world successfully potty train their children well before preschool age, in the United States, we've moved away from this early introduction. However, there's no evidence that later is better--in fact, there's even significant reason to believe that later can be detrimental. Written by a respected child psychologist, Early-Start Potty Training shows why the early-start method is preferable to the commonly used readiness method. Waiting until children show signs of readiness can hold them back from preschool, cost a fortune in diapers, and lead to health problems. The early-start method avoids these concerns by starting the process of training as early as six months old. This easy-to-follow program provides you with: Time-tested training tips for introducing toddlers--and even infants--to the potty Methods for combating common problems of training delay A troubleshooting plan for moving toddlers from diapers to potty independence Hints on how to overcome accidents and build confidence in children
