About this item
No two children experience the toilet-training process in exactly the same way. While some kids might be afraid to even go near the bathroom, others may master the actual act right away. "Stress-Free Potty Training" takes the anxiety out of this challenging rite of passage. The book differentiates the common childhood personality types, providing easy techniques to suit kids who are: goal-oriented, sensory-oriented, internalising, impulsive and strong-willed. Parents will find much needed advice to help them identify what ideas will work for their child's temperament. This straight-talking guide enables readers to help any child make this important life transition free of worry, and in the way that's right for them.
About the Author
Sara Au is first and foremost a mom of two... a tween daughter and a teenage son. Additionally, she's a journalist specializing in parenting and health issues. A Syracuse University graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, she's written for such publications as ePregnancy Magazine, CNNMoney.com, Runner's World, FitBody Magazine, and the Girl Scout's Leader Magazine. She also works for Orange County Public Schools, the 10th largest school district in the nation. Together with pediatric neuropsychologist Dr. Pete Stavinoha, she's the co-author of Stress-Free Potty Training (AMACOM Books, 2008) and Stress-Free Discipline (AMACOM Books, 2015) . In her B.C. life (before children) , she was a breaking news producer for CNN in Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York. Her impetus for writing the Stress-Free Parent series is her frustration with other parenting outlets that gave cookie-cutter advice which didn't suit her unique children or situation - not even close. In her book, articles and videos, Sara always strives to consider everyone's individual situation when offering tips or advice. She hopes parents take away a sense of empowerment after reading or listening to her work. For more of Dr. Pete & Sara's Stress-Free parenting advice, please visit www.stressfreeparent.com.
