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 night-time 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
