If you have a young child, chances are you have a question about potty training. What do you do if your child won't go near the potty? How do you deal with unwanted advice from your in-laws? And the number one query: When is a child ready to begin?

Christophersen, a clincial psychologist and child development expert at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, and Meg Zweiback, pediatric nurse practitioner and author of Keys to Toilet Training (Barron's Parenting Keys Series) – to address some of the most frequently asked potty training questions.
