One of Parenting Press's most popular books, this reassuring guide to an important toddler/preschooler developmental period has been updated and expanded by Helen F. Neville, a longtime pediatric advice nurse and parent educator. Working with Jan Faull's original book, since 1996 a favorite for its practicality and real-life anecdotes, Neville explains how a child's temperament affects toilet training and she has added new chapters on: • Toilet training the special needs child • How parents and child care providers can work together during toilet training • Explaining the early toilet training used in other cultures This book remains a common-sense guide to determining if a child is ready for toilet training and introduces a step-by-step process that really works. Parents' most common questions are answered and there's straightforward information on night training, bedwetting, constipation, bowel retention and soiling.
