Miranda Thorpe, an experienced psychotherapist and grandmother, offers us a unique book about a valuable parenting skill that is rapidly being lost around the world. The simple technique of early and gentle toilet training (Elimination Communication) is a traditional method of using observation, timing, sounds, and intuition with minimal use of nappies (diapers). This 'dance' between the caregiver and baby results in a stronger 'in sync' bond that then helps the baby to become more in tune with their own body and feelings. Miranda reveals how this early toilet training practice is an invaluable key to deeper and healthier relationships. In this important book she integrates the physical, emotional, environmental, and psychological facets of this fascinating topic.
