I Don't Want To Go To The Toilet
In this fourth book of her parenting series, Dr. Rothenberg tackles toilet training. As always, she does this with sound practical advice and a dose of good humor.This book is valuable because Dr. Rothenberg couples developmentally appropriate principles with practical tools.Among the many guides for toilet training, this book is unique because itsets the stage for cooperation between kids and parents through its two engaging children s stories (peeing and pooping). The parents section provides a treasure trove of advicefor what to expect, what to say, and what to do to make the process not only more fun, but also more likely to succeed.-- Mary Ann Carmack, M.D., Ph.D. Chair, Pediatrics Department, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, Palo Alto, CADr. Rothenberg has written an outstanding, practical and hopeful book on the toileting process.The tone of the book is both empathetic and explanatory. In addition to the guidance section addressed to the parents, this book containstwo very useful and enjoyable stories that will motivate young children s success while providing them with much reassurance. I am delighted to recommend Dr. Rothenberg s very thoughtful and helpful book to young children and parents as well as to pediatricians, child psychologists, and child psychiatrists.--Elizabeth A.
