A child-centered guide to toilet training

Sara Au’s guide frames toilet training as a process that can vary with a child’s temperament and readiness. It covers recognizing when to begin, helping children move beyond familiar routines without undue pressure, and responding to accidents or setbacks. The book also distinguishes among childhood personality types, with techniques for situations such as reluctance to leave diapers, anxiety about moving on, or a later start. Its practical focus is on adapting the approach to the child rather than treating toilet training as a single timetable.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents preparing to begin toilet training with a child
  • Caregivers navigating reluctance, anxiety, accidents, or setbacks during toilet training

Book overview

This helpful guide takes the stress out of this challenging rite of passage, giving parents much-needed advice to help them identify what approach will work for their child's temperament.

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 shows 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

This straight-talking guide enables you to help every child make this important life transition free of worry and in the way that's right for him or her.

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 diapers, afraid to move on, or just late-bloomers.
