'Elimination communication' is hot topic in potty training world

Carolynn Rowland, a nurse and researcher in the WSU School of Medicine, is quoted in a story about a new method of infant potty training. The method involves starting toilet training before children can talk or walk. Rowland has reservations about the method. "My concern is if you put the onus on the child to do something you want them to do that they're not capable of doing, you may be setting them up for problems, and you're putting a whole lot of pressure on them," she said. The story ran on the Knight Ridder newswire.
