Potty Training Books for Toddlers
Want your child to start using the potty? Discover the best potty training books for toddlers to help them feel excited—and less anxious—about the process.
My son looked down at his bare bottoms, glanced up at me, and bawled.
We were just about to start the three-day potty training process, but the initial excitement about wearing undies faded into anxiety. He would no longer be able to rely on the familiarity of wearing diapers.
Using a toilet seems like common sense to us, but it can feel strange, silly, and downright scary to toddlers. It’s no wonder that potty training is often the root of many power struggles between parents and kids.
I learned that one of the best ways to ease your child into potty training is by reading books about it. Here are my favorite picks. These selections can ease her anxieties and help her feel excited for this new milestone.
