My Number 1 Book for Going Number 2 - Paperback

by Sarah Capodagli (Author), Beebe Hargrove (Author)

Dr. Sarah's helpful advice on making pooping easier is kid-tested, and she gives tips for grownups, too. She hopes that each young reader will find a restroom rhythm that works best for them. Whimsical, full color illustrations by award-winning artist Beebe Hargrove star creatures like bears, cows, unicorns, llamas, and dragons depicting the different barriers that some kids face: from literally being afraid of the toilet itself to fear of using a public restroom to shutting down when it comes to going at school and more. Mom to a young boy, Dr. Sarah uses simple language, often in rhyme, throughout this fun-to-read children's book that tackles a surprisingly common, yet rarely discussed topic. Besides the tips for grownups, the book contains a glossary that explains some words that might be unfamiliar along with some of the many different words for Number 2 and for what the place we go to use the restroom is called. Dr. Sarah, who holds a doctor of physical therapy degree and is a certified pelvic rehabilitation practitioner, is a firm believer that great care is a team sport, and that each patient is the most important part of their team. In the handy resource guide, she shares a list of specialties and areas addressed by each. She also gives names of providers with whom she collaborates in her region to give families navigating strategies for bowel concerns an idea of what specialists and providers to consider seeking out in theirs. A great resource for parents, guardians, teachers, librarians, coaches, pediatricians, and healthcare professionals who work with young children to preteens.
