HUGE Difference

2008-08-26
This book was really designed for younger children than my 4yr old, but I was able to successfully adapt the concepts within the book and within one afternoon we went from diapers/pullups to underwear and dry pants. He is even dry at nights now. We did experience a reluctance to have a BM in the potty chair but even that wasn't as much of a struggle as in other attempts over the last two years. I was real pleased with how this book took you step by step, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to avoid the frustration of potty training, even if my experience wasn't ideal, it was more successful than any other method had been.

This is the best method for boys

I was given a remaindered copy of this book 25+ years ago and made the mistake of not reading it in time to train my first son. It was a long, painful process with him. I had 4 more boys and, with the second, dreaded toilet training when he got to that age. I dredged this book out and figured I had nothing to lose and I was right. This worked like a charm with my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th sons.
Toilet training is not fun and you really do need to take some time out to read the book before hand and be prepared, but this gets the job done (no pun intended) efficiently, effectively, and left my sons trained for night time as well. I just didn't believe it would work, but it did. I have been recommending it to people for a quarter of a century and no one who has used it properly has anything but praise for it.

Potty Training Help.

This was a pretty good book, it helped my wife and I get over the hurdle of a "don't want to try" child.

Potty Training my 35 month old

2008-08-14
Hi,
I decided to buy this book b/c we have another child on the way and it is in our best interest to have our soon to be 3- year- old potty trained. The book was helpful. It is a little lengthy but I am all about books when it comes to my child. The book is a little intense and I didn't follow everything it said to do. I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to train him without being as intense as the book. We certainly were not potty trained in a day because of this and that didn't bother me. This is a good book to have and it is a great freedom to be out of diapers.

Your kid CAN do it!

2008-08-07
This is how potty training should be done. You TEACH your child how to do it - in a POSITIVE way spending ALL your attention on the teaching of the child. If your child can complete all the preliminary tests in this book, then he/she is ready to be potty trained. It is an intense day of teaching and learning but your child will love it.

You will be SO proud and amazed at your child's ability to learn so quickly. It's incredible. My daughter is 2 years 8 months old. She had literally never ever sat on a potty or toilet before yesterday at 7:30am. By this morning at 11am, she walked past me in the kitchen, walked in the bathroom, pulled down her pants, pooped on the potty, wiped herself with toilet paper (albiet not well and in the front,notback) pulled up her pants, dumped her potty cup in the toilet, replaced the potty cup to the potty, flushed the toilet, washed and dried her hands, came over to me in the kitchen and said, "I did it!" and gave me a high five! I sware - all true. She is so very proud of herself, and I am proud of her. All she needed was the instruction on how to do it.

YOU have to be ready to take it on 100%. Spend the time getting ready. Buy training pants, a potty and snacks. Get the other kids out of the house for the day. Shut the computer, turn off the phone and give your kid 100% of your attention for the day. Your child can do it if you are willing to put the effort in.

This is the most sensible system I've ever seen.

Fantastic 2008-07-24
I am a psychologist and mother of a 20 month old. As a psychologist I can tell you that the foundation for this book is excellent and the research is very accurate and easy to digest. As a mom I love it. My daughter is on the young side for this (I am due with our second soon so am eager to get her started) so we are not using the book exactly but it is still working really well. The ideas like reinforcement and using praise from others (grandpa will be so proud) are very effective and i have been using them to get her to do lots of other things like nap by herself and walk independently down the stairs (she liked to be carried but I'm getting too big). I think this book is fantastic.

Didn't Work For My Child 2008-07-21
The techniques in this book didn't work for my child. It may be do to my error. We did successfully potty train by trail and error. When he figured out that he didn't like the wet feeling of "going" in big boy underwear, he started making it to the potty in time.

great book, worked with my 3 kids, one with autism.All were 2yr! 2008-07-16
This is an outstanding book. My mother used it with me & my sister in the 70's! She gave it to me with the doll for my sons 2nd birthday. I read it & did it a couple of days later. He had severe autism & still did it by 4pm that day. I potty trained my next child & she was 22months. Just recently I potty trained my 3rd child, 20months old & she did it without a hitch. Nothing cuter than seeing a baby running for the potty, pulling down her pants, going, emptying it herself & flushing. My only obligation after the first day of potty bootcamp is to jump up & down & give her a treat for her hard work.
The first day is hard work, but well worth it & no negative standing around or shame involved.

Not the most fun day of our lives...but it worked 2008-07-14
Reading this dry, chauvinistic, 70's era book was boring and the process itself was tedious and frustrating. That being said, we did, in fact, toilet train our daughter (age 2 3/4) in just one day and after the first week had almost no accidents (has been several months now). We still use pull-ups at night (which I don't think even existed when this dinosaur-of-a-book was written), but the basic strategies really do work. Using this method made for a long, painful day, but has led to months of dry panties and no diapers...so was worth it to me!
