Book Description

April 1, 2003
The Toilet-Training Book Your Doctor Recommends

How will I know when my child is ready? What do I do if my child resists? How can I handle bedwetting and other accidents?

What’s the best way to make this a positive experience for both of us?

Helping your child through the toilet-training process may be one of your greatest challenges as a new parent. And when it comes to this important developmental stage, every child is unique. Some are “ready” earlier than others, and not all children respond to the same approach. If you’ve been confused by conflicting advice from friends, relatives--even other books--here is expert advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the organization representing the nation’s finest pediatricians.

This invaluable resource covers everything you need to know about the toilet-training process to make this important transition as easy and as positive as possible for both you and your child.

This comprehensive guide answers parents’ most frequently asked questions and concerns, including:

• When to toilet train: finding the age that’s right for your child
• How to choose and install a potty
• Positive ways to handle the inevitable “accidents”
• What to do when your child resists
• Practical advice for common problems such as constipation
• Toilet training children with special needs
• Special tips for boys, girls, even twins
• Coping with bedwetting and soiling
• And much more

The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Toilet Training is a must-have resource for parents who want the best advice for themselves and the best experience for their children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book - Excellent tips and sets correct expectations, April 22, 2006
This review is from: The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Toilet Training (Paperback)
We are very pleased with this book. We bought when our son was 9 months old because parents were pressuring us to have son potty trained by 12 months.

This book reassured us about the normal range for children to be potty trained and it is NOT 12 months.

The book sets expectations and gives very good tips and examples of how to train. I am recommending this book to all my pregnant friends.

My only complaint is that there are so many good tips, they should put them in bullet points instead of paragraph form. This would allow us busy parents to refer back to the book easier.

3.0 out of 5 stars Definitely above average but a let down for solving problems.., June 25, 2008
This review is from: The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Toilet Training (Paperback)
This book was actually quite informative in the first quarter about mental readiness and physical signs to watch for. The problem is that it never targets troubleshooting issues that occur during the training. It seems to go from "Here are signs that you're ready to go potty" and then straight to "Now that your child is trained, here are relapse issues". It doesn't target issues or problems you have during the training process. One section that I was very interested in was dealing with kids who hide when they are doing a BowelMovement. It had a title sectioned with that teaser but no solutions other than to say, "It happens." About 75 percent of the book is devoted to problems you might have (bedwetting,etc) for an older child (5 years plus) who is already mostly potty trained.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read, September 27, 2010

Crystal Fuller (GRAND RAPIDS, MI, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Toilet Training (Paperback)
Excellent advice in this book, excellent views on children and how each is different. I can't stand the people who are so cut and dry, like.."well this is all you gotta do..." like that is supposed to work for every child. Doubt it! My son is 14 months and I am introducing the potty, he actually enjoys the trips to the bathroom and having me read his "potty book" to him. I recommend this book, and I actually just leant it too a friend who has a 3 year old who has no interest in the potty. Hopefully it will give her some great tips that work for her son as well. =)
