Some kids master the art of peeing in the toilet and then get stuck on the pooping part. I think part of this is the language in which we talk about poop - it can be a little shameful. "Ew, you're stinky!" "Yuck, you pooped!" "We have to change you, you're dirty/yucky/stinky/smelly..." I encourage you to use language to normalize pooping because....well, EVERYONE POOPS.
For kids who are feeling negative about pooping, this book works to normalize the pooping. It talks about everyone that poops and touches on why. It has a bit of humor and cute Japenese illustrations. This book is an Usborne book and I would be happy to help you order it. Just go to my Usborne website here and if it prompts you for an "event", just select the one that corresponds with the season or month (e.g. "January shopping" or "summer shopping"). |

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this board book. Every page has multiple flaps to lift up, which keeps it interactive and yet educational at the same time. It talks about what exactly poop is, where it goes, who poops, etc. Great for the inquisitive mind. I've heard moms of 18 month olds and moms of 4 year olds alike say that this book is their child's favorite potty-related book.

It has some good ideas and is worth a quick read. I'm not sure it's the end-all, be-all to potty training, but every little piece of advice is a good one when it comes to potty training! |
