• Explains what factors can confuse toddlers and keep them from succeeding at toilet training

It's a small little book with a quick read and tips in green print so you can quickly get ideas on important steps to successful potty training. Since we've already started and I've gotten ideas from other people and sources, it was good enough for me. I don't have tons of free time to read a big book on this subject. Just what I needed. Hope potty training goes well!

So helpful for understanding why Dylan is reluctant to potty train. Highly recommended for those of you with two year olds!
