Learning to use the toilet properly is a necessary part of one’s formative years. And while every child has a different experience, this generation of kindergartners is faced with laws requiring potty training before attending school. The Utah Board of Education released guidelines imploring parents to get additional help if they are concerned with the rules applying to incoming students. There are options for children with developmental delays, such as Section 504 plans or professional potty training. Michelle Swaney’s exploration of professional potty trainers notes how these experts can create tailored plans for your child and use effective techniques to teach them and aid their progress. Of course, this may not be feasible for every family due to time or cost. Thankfully, there are other resources for potty training at home. Kids are very receptive to visual aids and references, so ebooks are a great way to appeal to them during potty time. The children’s ebooks on Everand offer great reads for kids, no matter their age, stage, or format the books come in. Plenty of titles help guide children through natural developmental stages and struggles like Tiny T. Rex and the Impossible Hug and The Bad Seed Goes to the Library. Among this vast digital library (which is easier to manage for kids than traditional paper books), there are also great books dedicated to the art of potty training.
By Steve Herman
Author Steve Herman is a best-selling author known for his Dragon series, which tackles many anxieties that very young children often face without having the words to name them. Potty Train Your Dragon does a wonderful job of helping the child who feels unmotivated and anxious when it comes to going to (or on) the toilet. The simple narrative with the adorable pet dragon makes for an inviting story that can make kids feel more comfortable with the idea of potty training. This book can help dispel the stressful image of potty training that may have formed in your child’s mind by going through the tale of a little dragon overcoming its fears. The ebook is only 23 pages, making it a reasonable length for potty time.
By Esther Bams
This book is an excellent introductory piece for children who are just starting the process of potty training. They may not immediately understand why they need to make this shift, so it’s helpful to ease them in by showing how Bob goes to the potty. Esther Bams keeps it short and simple so you can potentially keep the attention of even an easily distracted child. Every step is laid out in a way that makes it easy to follow for preschool-aged kids, with engaging art and wording that doesn’t feel too overwhelming for a young reader.

While previous generations started potty training at 18 months, recent statistics show that children ditch diapers at later stages. The Hechinger Report on potty training states that children in the mid-2000s and beyond start training at around 36 months old in America. While later toilet training doesn’t necessarily indicate a lower success rate, this is an age where you can get the best results by integrating books like Poopasaurus. It provides a lot of information but does so in a toddler-friendly way, keeping things both fun and practical, so your kid can learn as they enjoy reading. Because of its in-depth yet simplified guidance, the whole process can be less intimidating for a child entering their school years. We hope these children's ebooks can provide emotional support to your kids as they undergo potty training.
