Glowacki, the "Pied Piper of Poop," gives parents an experienced and enthusiastic helping hand for the often frustrating experience of toilet training. Showing parents how "it takes most kids about three to seven days for the potty training to 'click,'" she aims to bring a child's awareness from "Clueless" and "I Peed" to "I'm Peeing" and "I Have To Go Pee." She explains there is a good time to start training (between 20 and 30 months) and why "waiting until she's ready" often backfires. Within that age range, asserts the author, parents receive other markers for identifying readiness (retreating to a private place to poop, ability to recite the ABC song, etc.). The author also dispels common myths (e.g., "boys are harder to train than girls").
VERDICT Glowacki's firm and entertaining style invites confidence. Her methods are appropriate for any healthy child, and her sense of humor is contagious. Who knew pee and poop could be so fun? Recommended for all parenting collections.
