Originally published in 1996, this reassuring guide to an important toddler and preschooler developmental period has been updated and expanded by a longtime pediatric advice nurse and parent educator. While maintaining the original publication's practicality and real-life anecdotes, Helen Neville explains how a child's temperament affects toilet training and has added chapters on toilet training the special needs child, how parents and childcare providers can work together during toilet training, and the early toilet training used in other cultures.
