Extremely important if you have toddlers

This is pretty much the only book that doesn't 'blame' the parent for potty training. There is a whole different set of dynamics that come into play when your child is in the process of potty training and to put in bluntly, he/she gets stuck in this stage. For whatever the reason, sickness, eating too much cheese, a change in whatever might be going on in the child/families life, this book helps you to see if from the perspective of the child. No big psycho-babble big words, just plain, easy to read, down to earth explanations and understandings as to how and why this can become a huge issue. It's approach is very gentle and positive. I recommend this book before all others. It is written by a pediatrition as well. If you are having problems with potty training and potty fear, buy this book first.

Such a relief!

Easy to read book, packed with information - really set our minds at ease as to how to deal with our 2-year old's withholding. The language of the book was a bit off-putting, (occasionally too simplistic) but otherwise an excellent resource. Thank you thank you.
