Your library has many fun and engaging picture books and board books about toilet training. Duck Goes Potty is one such book. Once Duck's mommy tells him "No more diapers," Duck is introduced to the Potty Chair. A few mishaps ensue, but Duck takes them all in stride. When he finally gets it right, Mommy announces, "You're a big duck now!"
Karen Katz has written My Big Boy Undies and its companion, My Big Girls Undies, which were both published in February of this year. Her bright, bold illustrations are just right for catching a toddler's attention, and her cheerful text is reassuring and encouraging.
Books that depict potty training are not only inherently interesting to toddlers, they can also help with the training process. They introduce toileting vocabulary and concepts. If a child is a little intimidated by toilet training, reading a book about it can help reduce that fear by building familiarity and setting expectations. Furthermore, the characters in the books model the behavior that leads to success.
Just like adults, children love to read and talk about things that are relevant to their lives. Engage your toddler with a good "potty story" and, while you're at it, check out some of the great parenting guides to toilet training which are also available at your library!
