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.

Definitely above average but a let down for solving problems..:

This book was actually quite informative in the first quarter about mental readiness and physical signs to watch for. The problem is that it never targets troubleshooting issues that occur during the training. It seems to go from "Here are signs that you're ready to go potty" and then straight to "Now that your child is trained, here are relapse issues".

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.
