Good ideas

this was a fast read-thank goodness. useful ideas that took a lot of stress out of the process. my 34 mo.old is wearing underwear for 3-4 hours at a time and it has been a very laid back process. just having this book to glance back at is reassuring.

This book really helped us

We had gotten very frustrated with our 3 1/2 year old who seemed completely uninterested in potty training. He was obviously ready in all respects except motivation. It just wasn't as hard with his two older sisters who were potty trained easily at about 2 1/2. But after following the guidance in this book, he was completely independently going on the toilet in week. With the exception of a night-time pull-up, we are diaper free!

Great

I'm a new Mom with a 25 month old boy and was truly fretting about the subject. Some boys are already "trained" so I wasn't sure if I was lagging behind. Great information. Although my boy is still to young for it, I applied some of the tips immediately and now he proudly uses the potty before his night bath, and sometimes asks for it at other times. I'll take it easy, like a game. Great book.Potty Training Boys the Easy Way: Helping Your Son Learn Quickly--Even If He's a Late Starter

Great practical book!

I read several books on potty training (incl. potty training in a day) and this one was by far the best one: easy to read, practical tips throughout. I just love the approach of training in sessions, it totally worked for my little guy! And it was easy to accomplish, no power struggle at all -- I did wait until he was not only ready but also interested and motivated!

Let's hear it for the boy!!

YAY!! Finally, a book devoted entirely to helping moms of boys that are potty training!! This book is fabulous! It's a quick, easy read pointing out practical solutions and common sense approaches to potty training boys. I would recommend it to everyone!! I read 15 books in preparation and this was stellar! It's a must-read and a must-have. It suggests teaching boys in "Sessions" rather than the Potty-Training-In-One-Day idea that RARELY works for boys. The 'Sessions' idea was definitely the key to teaching my son in a happy, relaxed environment. I am SO SO SO SO happy I read this book and am telling everyone about it!! (I would also recommend The Stress-Free Potty Training by Sara Au. It's also FABULOUS!!!)
