To a child, a toilet may look like a vortex to the unknown, where things are sucked down never to be seen again. Even as parents are going through the process of potty training their child for the first time, they should realize that this is also the first experience their child has of being potty trained.
The book ‘The Simple Potty Training Guide – The step by step approach to successful potty training’ by Jennie Graham is the perfect guide for parents who need a little help in the steps to take when dealing with a child who is going through the phase of potty training. It is a non-fiction book which deals with one of the main challenges that come up during parenting a small child, something that often gives parents nightmares, and one they wish could be over as soon as possible.
The book is quite short, with all the basic steps that a parent needs to go through with their child to ensure a successful and pleasant potty training for both the parents and the child. One of the most important aspects that the author highlights is the parents’ attitude towards the training, as this has a direct impact on what the child’s attitude will be, as well as their self-esteem. She also highlights that every child is an individual and there is no use comparing or being in competition with other parents’ children. The aspects that she concentrates on, are about communicating with your child, remaining in control whatever the situation and dealing with things patiently. She outlines all the things you will need when starting potty training, what to prepare when taking your child out the house, and how to deal with night time potty training.
I think that this book is quite a simple but helpful guide, especially for first-time parents who need some guidance as to what they should do when they undertake the task of potty training their child. There are no complicated methodologies that are introduced in the book, and all the steps are easily understandable, self-explanatory, and consistent.
Although I am not a parent, I am the eldest of many children, so in a sense I have gone through the phase of potty-training myself, and I can see that this book will be helpful for those who have no idea of where to start with this endeavor or those who need a few helpful steps to guide them. Although it may be very helpful to first time parents or parents who really need help in this department, those who have already been through potty-training probably won’t find much new in this book and will have already learnt through trial and error on their first kids. For this reason I am giving this book a three out of four stars.
