Publisher's Summary

The Green Parent Book of the Month!

Gurgle's Honest Read for December

How to make potty training stress free for you and your child.

The Gentle Potty Training Book is a practical guide to helping your child through one of the most important developmental stages of early childhood. Avoiding strict timelines, rewards and plans that are based solely on a child's gender, Sarah Ockwell-Smith advocates an approach that is based on your child's unique developmental stage - because the gentlest, easiest and most effective potty training happens when you work with your child as a team.

Sarah's advice includes:
Recognising the physical and emotional signs that your child is ready.
How to talk to your child about potty training and prepare them emotionally.
What you need to get started - the practicalities.
How to respond to accidents and setbacks.
Potty training your child when you're in full-time work or co-parenting.
The when and how of nighttime potty training.
What to do after previous false starts.

Comprehensive, practical and realistic, Sarah's advice will give you the necessary understanding and confidence to make potty training a smooth process for you and your child.

Another brilliant Sarah Ockwell smith book

As a first time mum, every time I feel nervous about my little man entering a new stage there is a relevant Sarah Ockwell Smith book to support me on the journey, and this one was excellent. Feeling much more confident about the potty training phase now.

This book work

Me and My wife were struggling it my 4yr to potty train. my wife had tried my techniques and read many articles. Finally, I decide to read this book or go to the doctor for help. However, this book was a lifesaver. I followed the instruction and it worked. I even went ahead bought the paperback book as for future reference

Covers the most important need to know

beautiful narration. well detailed but a little repetitive of the facts. perhaps intentional but this made the content slightly monotonous.

however in saying, I'd 100% recommend a read of this book for potty training.
