About This Book
Reach for this book when potty training has hit a wall of resistance, anxiety, or physical withholding. It is specifically designed for children who may be comfortable urinating in the potty but feel fear, shame, or a loss of control regarding bowel movements. Rather than focusing on a successful outcome, the book prioritizes the child's emotional safety through interactive elements like tracing and breathing exercises. Written by a potty training expert and consultant, the story validates the very real fears children have about letting go. By shifting the focus from pressure to play, it helps build the necessary body awareness and confidence for preschoolers to try again at their own pace. It is an empathetic, practical tool for families struggling with constipation or diaper-dependence in the 2 to 5 age range.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book addresses bodily functions and minor medical concerns like constipation in a direct, secular, and clinical yet whimsical manner. The resolution is realistic: it focuses on the child feeling empowered and ready to try, rather than just 'finishing' the task.
Ideal Reader
A 3 or 4-year-old who has mastered pee-training but experiences 'poop withholding,' often leading to painful constipation and a cycle of fear. This child likely feels pressured by caregivers and needs a book that hands the power back to them.
