Customer Reviews

potty training twins

I bought this for my daughter and son-in-law. They have twins, so this should help. She really likes this book. With twins time will tell, but I think she's really learned a lot already.

Great Book!

This is the 3rd book we've read on the subject, and this is my favorite. I really appreciated the examples of how to respond to my child so that she would be encouraged and not pressured. It also helped me be less frustrated by accidents. The positiveness and enthusiasm is working really well for my daughter. After 1 month of potty training with other books she still didn't tell me when she wanted me to take her to the potty. After 2 days of this book, she told me she wanted me to take her to the potty. Hurray!

Potty Training for the not so dumb

This book is great. My daughter trained her son in a week with the suggestions from this book.

A great resource!

This book is crammed with useful information. Unlike most books on the subject it isn't just promoting the one "right" system. It gives basic guidlines but also includes important sections on setbacks you might encounter and how to deal with them. If you're ready to ditch diapers but don't know where to start, this is the place!

Not a potty training dummy anymore !!

This book gave me a completely different outlook on something that seemed too frustrating to deal with. I won't give away any secrets but I can tell you this, it made me much more patient and willing to help my child through a tough time for both of us. This book helped me understand that I can't push my small child into doing anything, but with guidance and team work it can easily be done! I want to thank the authors for this wonderful potty-training coach. Without it I'd be lost!
