Really useful information, tips, tricks

My 4yo has sensory processing disorder, and not everything in this book applies to them, of course, but there’s so many different tools and suggestions here that made absolute sense upon hearing them. There’s not exactly a plethora of information for struggling parents of non-Neurotypical children, struggling with potty training for better than a year, I’m Very grateful that this book exists.

Good explanation but unkind delivery

As a behavior analyst, I work with young kids with special needs and the majority them are not potty trained. I listened to this read to see if there were any tips or tricks I could add to my current practice. There were a couple tips/ideas that I’m glad to takeaway, so I am grateful for that!
However, this book may be unfit for anyone who is personally effected by someone who is not potty trained. It catastrophizes the effect of having a non-potty trained dependent which could induce shame, guilt, or anxiety in the caretaker. Caretakers who are concerned about their dependent’s toileting habits and searching for advice on toilet training strategies do not need to be told how much having an incontinent child effects their life, and especially do not need to be led to worry about the view others have of them or their struggling child.
As another practical note, there are a few jargon words used which may be fine for people familiar with behavior intervention strategies, but not all the lingo is layman friendly and thoroughly defined.
