Customer Reviews

A must have for potty training parents!!!

An excellent book, I am a Pediatrician and I firmly believe that the American Academy of Pediatrics had the best interests of our kids at heart when they wrote this book. It is informative, helpful, and fun to read. It helped to calm my concerns that I should be rushing my son to potty train, I think I'll wait a little longer until he's really ready.

Straight forward and resourceful

We are starting to toilet train, so I cannot say if the book was successful. But, it was a great primer for me and has given me guidance and confidence as we undertake this big milestone for our son.

Very Helpful Book

This is a nice overview of the potty training process with whole chapters that help you to think about whether you are ready as well as whether your child is ready. It is very nonjudgmental and does not seem to have much of an axe to grind, except to emphasize that you need a lot of patience and children develop at different rates.

Very good book - Excellent tips and sets correct expectations

We are very pleased with this book. We bought when our son was 9 months old because parents were pressuring us to have son potty trained by 12 months. This book reassured us about the normal range for children to be potty trained and it is NOT 12 months. The book sets expectations and gives very good tips and examples of how to train. I am recommending this book to all my pregnant friends. My only complaint is that there are so many good tips, they should put them in bullet points instead of paragraph form. This would allow us busy parents to refer back to the book easier.
