Editorial Review:

Do the math: If a mother averages six diaper changes a day, she'll change 2,190 diapers during her baby's first year. Things improve slightly over the next twelve months. Based on five changes a day, she'll add another 1,825 diaper changes to her score. By the time her child is half- way to her third birthday, Mom will pass the 5,000 mark. That's a lot of dirty diapers! If this mom is you, it's no wonder you might be thinking seriously about potty training.While successful potty training in itself isn't considered a developmental milestone in a child's life, it is nonetheless an important transition for both you and your child. The good news is that potty training doesn't have to be complicated and neither does a book that explains it. Busy moms need a resource that gives them comprehensive information without a lot of unnecessary details and presents them with options instead of a one-size-fits-all program. Potty Training 1-2-3 provides all of that and more. The more is in the results.

But, on the first day, my son was more excited about wearing 'big boy undies' than receiving treats for staying dry and... more info

Needs editing:

I felt confused and annoyed when I finished this book. It was poorly written and in need of copy-editing. Transitions from one subject to another were poor or non-existent.
The book opened with a couple of stories, obviously designed to impress on the reader what a great method the authors are presents. However, the stories were incomplete, unbelievable, and awkward to read.
The main theme in the book is to reward the child for being clean and dry, not for using the potty. That makes sense, and I... more info

Potty Training book:

Great book & so simple. As a teacher I did this type of positive reinforcements with kids all the time. However, I neglected to do it at home with the kids. This really works!

wonderful guide:

this book shares several different approches to potty training and the list of signs of readiness were especially helpful.
