Weekly Trip to the Library for Nannies and Au Pairs
Have You Seen My Potty?
After eating a salad at the family picnic, a little girl’s determination to last the entire day comes to an end after she realizes that she has no choice but to ask her mother to take her home to use the bathroom, in an amusing tale sprinkled with Spanish words and phases. On her way back from a picnic with her parents, a little girl who did not need to “tinkle” suddenly remembers that there is more than one reason to visit a restroom, in a story that includes some Spanish words and phrases. It is a funny book that mixes Spanish and English, and illustrations that vividly capture the family’s predicament, this companion to Oh No, Gotta Go! is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Realistic, child-appealing text is paired with interactive gate folds (each page is folded over on itself and that is the ‘flap’) to describe how a gender-neutral toddler struggles to learn to use the potty, but finally succeeds. With interactive flaps and child-appealing text, the author describes the steps a toddler must go through in learning how to use the potty. Karen Katz has wonderful, colorful and easy illustrations and her wording is so nice and easy to understand for the little mind.
Stop by again next Saturday for another Weekly Trip to the Library.

Read children's story books about potty training to your child. There are lots of books available for you get online on potty training. Reading and imagination helps the child to relate to the interesting characters and behaviors within the story and helps them follow accordingly. Offer lots of praise when your child does make some progress. It is not an easy practice but this will help you see results amazingly when you really put in the effort to make your child proud of their achievement. Avoid physical punishment for not using the potty. Stop all reminders about using the toilet. Replace the reminders with the potty training stories you’ve read to your child. This helps as their mind recalls the story and how will keep it in mind when its time.source: http://www.childdevelopmenttechniques.com
