Potty Talk

For the last week at our house we've been talking a lot about the potty and reading books like these:

Does a Pig Flush? by Fred Ehrilich

Once Upon a Potty by Alana Frankel

(there is a boy version of this book also available)

How to Potty Train Your Monster by Kelley DiPucchio
This book is a clever step-by-step reminder of the potty training process. It seems to me that the reminders are aimed toward the parents, but kids will like the illustrations.

I've also been reviewing these two potty training guides for parents:
Toilet Training in Less Than A Day by Nathan H. Azrin
This book has been around since the 1970s and its method is pretty well proved. If you're new to potty training, this is a good handbook to start with.

On Becoming Potty Wise for Toddlers by Gary Ezzo
This book is basically the newer, shortened version of the above book by Azrin. Probably the most helpful if you just need a quick refresher when it comes to potty training.

Potty training is going well at our house, but I think the best tool has been a very excited and encouraging big sister who is happy to serve as the example!
