Publisher Comments:

“Dr. Sonna is giving parents and babies a wonderful opportunity to introduce the potty at an age when learning new skills is part of every day life.” --Barbara Gablehouse, MD.

Have your child completely potty-trainedby the age of two!

Drawing on methods used with success around the world, Early-Start Potty Training shows that potty training your baby at an early age is not only possible, its actually beneficial to your childs health. Drawing on the latest scientific studies, Early-Start Potty Training debunks the myth that it is better to start teaching after age two and gives you a step-by-step plan to be finished with diapers before your childs second birthday. Author of The Everything Potty Training Book, Dr. Linda Sonna explores the many drawbacks of the “readiness” method, including the emotional, financial, and health repercussions of waiting too long. Instead, she advocates loving, gentle, toilet “learning” methods, and proves that the earlier you introduce the potty, the better off your child will be.

Early-Start Potty Training is full of caring steps, tips, and techniques to help speed your childs potty learning success, including:

  • Expecting success without pressuring your child
  • Why a potty chair is better than a potty seat
  • The pitfalls of disposable diapers
  • Preparing babies for potty independence
  • How to overcome toddler resistance
  • How to potty trainand prevent bedwettingat any age

Synopsis:

The time-tested, gentle, and successful method that introduces children to potty training as early as six months<P>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.<P>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.<P>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

Synopsis:

A time-tested, gentle and successful method that introduces children to potty training at a very young age.
