This was a very informative book about potty training your child. The tips and tricks were easy to understand, and the positive tone of the book helped me feel a little less overwhelmed by the prospect of potty training.
MUST READ!! Was super helpful and written in real speak - can't wait to buy the actual copy and hand out to friends. My kid is POTTY TRAINED, YALL. Thank you!
While a lot of points in this book are very good, it still has some things in it I can't fully support with my review. In the beginning of this book the author is painstakingly trying to be flexible with 'this is a suggestion' or 'you could try this', but further into the book there is a system she uses and maybe it works, but for me there is no way. I do agree that pull ups are expensive and mostly unnecessary, but I don't understand the get rid of diapers. I had a stubborn child that would not potty train, I tried the no diapers, it still took a long time. That, for me, was too much! The clean up makes it hard to not go back to diapers alone. Even some of the cleaning points in this book brought back memories. I use diapers and wait until they are not messing in them to change them over. But that said I do take them to the bathroom a lot. The small toilet is another thing that could be good or bad, but you may want to see if your child wants to use the big "potty' like grown ups. It saves a lot of time and clean up and you don't have to worry about the transition from little to big.
I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
I recommend this book to parents (and grandparents) who are potty training their kids. It can be overwhelming to think about beginning potty training, but this book takes it step by step and provides good information on what to do at every stage. I've read several books on this subject lately and this is my favorite.
This is a straightforward, concise book that provides great information to parents that want to toilet train but are short on time. It’s geared toward parents that are considering toilet training or have just started. I particularly liked the “Script” for each section. However, I did not like the frequent encouragement of video/phone time as a reward.
