Los Angeles, CA (July 3, 2007)— In the new Playdate Kids Publishing musical book, “Island Potty Party,” author Tim Friedlander, takes a delicate situation and balances the important how-to of toilet training with a motivating island beat proven to promote potty training in young children between the ages of 2-5. Many experts agree that parents who put pressure on potty training often sabotage their efforts by alienating the child, and that this delay can keep them dealing with diapers longer.
"I have many friends who have gone through grueling ordeals when potty training their children. I hope this book is an optimistic influence for potty trainees and potty trainers alike. The story is geared towards offering young children a boost of self-confidence about potty training all while entertaining them," says Friedlander.
Following a single character throughout the potty process, children can relate to the story of a toddler who wants to switch from uncomfortable diapers to “big kid” underwear. Concepts of privacy, hygiene and vocalization are all presented, as well as a section confirming that everyone, from mom and dad to firemen and friends, all use the potty.
The colorful island pictures keep the child interested in the story and the accompanying CD and sheet music help prepare kids for the bathroom without battles, and succeed in unifying parents and child into a team that will tackle the toilet together.
All of the Playdate Kids Publishing musical books include a CD, a simple dance routine and sheet music so children can do their own dances at home.
