Publisher's Synopsis
Children who have bowel or bladder accidents, or trouble going to sleep at night, are often trying too hard to make their bodies work and avoid "accidents". Moreover, offering a reward to children for "pooping in the potty" is like offering a reward for "making it rain." The body works naturally to have bowel movements and fall asleep. Attempts to make the body work are unnatural and likely to backfire. This book explains how to help children relax so their bodies work naturally to establish good toileting and sleep habits. The approach has been used to help many children and teenagers learn to work with their bodies to achieve success.
