Worried about potty training? Let Jamie Glowacki, potty-training expert, show you how it’s done. Her six-step, proven process to get your toddler out of diapers and onto the toilet has already worked for tens of thousands of kids and their parents.

Exploring Materiality in Childhood: Body, Relations and Space explores the multiple ways that childhood and materiality are intertwined and assembled. Bringing together a diverse range of authors, this topical book makes a scholarly contribution to our understanding of the entanglements of materiality and childhoods in international contexts. Chapters explore how various environments and material resources, including technologies and consumer goods, affect children’s lives. The book caters to a diverse range of theories, in sociomaterialist, posthumanist, post-anthropocentric and more-than-human research, critically exploring the boundaries of these theoretical approaches with diverse empirical cases. These wide ranges of perspectives develop alternatives to human-centred approaches in understanding children and childhoods. With its diverse theoretical and methodological choices, the book also serves as a versatile example for how to conduct research with children and on childhood. This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers, and postgraduate students in childhood studies, early childhood education, social sciences, cultural sciences and sociology.

Potty training is one of our first traumas in life. For some, perhaps most, it is easy, but for others, it can be a deeply traumatic experience with lasting consequences. As we grow to our teenage years and adulthood, potty training is expected and assumed and yet for many, it still remains difficult and for some, seemingly unnecessary. And yet, society both demands and expects it. A brilliant arguer for breaking social norms, Gwendoline Summers attacks the question of whether or not potty training should be required for preteens, teens and adults and the issues with rejecting it. An openly pro-nappy/diaper book, Gwendoline targets her book not to just adult babies and diaper lovers, but to anyone seeking a reason and rationale for avoiding the toilet and making alternative choices.
