Potty Training In One Week by Gina Ford - Penguin Books Australia

There is an assumption that it is the mother that is doing the potty training (and all the parenting) and "your husband" "helps out at the weekend". Toilet training is tough for parents, but there’s no need to award yourself a weekend in the Hotel Europe just because you filled a chart. In Potty Training in One Week, bestselling author Gina Ford sets out a simple, easy-to-follow programme that works quickly and avoids many of the common pitfalls parents encounter. This potty training book is simple, easy to follow, and holds all the information you need to help your child reach toilet independence. However, Dr Spungin warns that you need to be sure your child is confident before you sit her on the toilet.I’m still congratulating our five-year-old when she goes, even though she hasn’t had an accident since forever. I was feeling all disgruntled but having read some other threads, am I right in thinking it just takes longer than that? Gina Ford has come to the rescue with her answer: the key to a good night's sleep for the whole family lies in teaching parents to understand the changing sleep needs of their growing baby. You’ll find out how to set gentle day and night routines that will resolve the specific issue and in just one week you'll be on your way to calm and peaceful nights!

Some parents prefer to cut to the chase, and go straight from nappies to the toilet, rather than having a potty phase in between. They’re cards with, say, 20 spaces for stickers, and you put a sticker after every successful visit to the potty. Advice on offer from grandparents, friends and professionals is often conflicting, leaving parents unsure of how and when to potty train their child.She addresses common battlegrounds, such as mealtimes, dressing, sleeping and potty training, and takes you step-by-step through her tried-and-tested techniques to deal with them simply, patiently and effectively. Examples of success stories range from two-year-olds to adults aged 20, and show that no matter how difficult it may seem, a little creativity and adaptation can get anyone toilet trained, however many previous attempts have failed. When I trained my daughter I did it in holiday time and didn't leave the house for 5 days and started off without any knickers. We had always used a different brand of nappy for bedtime and thankfully she didn't demand an un-holey night-time nappy to use for daytime wees.
