Summary
No two children experience the toilet-training process in exactly the same way. While some kids might be afraid to even go near the bathroom, others may know when to go… but still never seem to make it there in time.
In Stress-Free Potty Training, mother and journalist Sara Au and neuropsychologist Peter Stavinoha show you how to:
- determine a child’s readiness to begin potty training
- gradually move children past their existing comfort zone, without causing undue pressure
- handle accidents and temporary setbacks
Stress-Free Potty Training distinguishes between common childhood personality types, providing easy techniques tailor-fit for all kinds of kids, whether they’re stubborn or willful, clinging to nappies, afraid to move on, or just late-bloomers.
