When I first heard about this book, I thought it would be yet another situation where the parents tried their best to con the child into using the bathroom... but to my surprise, this was not at all the case! I was wonderfully delighted to see that this book places the responsibility of using the potty right where it should be: in the CHILD'S hands! Instead of this book focusing on what Mom/Dad should do to responsibly teach their child to use the potty, it focuses on what the child needs to know to develop the responsibility to use the potty him or herself! Through the many activities in this book, your child is able to pull information from every direction and understand the "whys" and "hows" of potty training while at the same time, putting it all into action. I was amazed at how well this book incorporates many different aspects of using the potty in order to help the child understand that it is the natural thing to do! This book really keeps the idea of potty training fresh in the child's mind, right where it should be! And, since the pages are perforated a parent can tear out a page, make a copy, and both of them color it, or allow two or more children color together. That is awesome! And that feature also keeps the book in good condition for future usage.

Along with the Activity Book, a parent can purchase a set of My Potty Reward Stickers. Here again, I was impressed with the fact that even the stickers are geared toward cheering on your child's efforts! Stickers such as "I did it!" and "Out of Diapers!" keep the child thinking about his/her accomplishments and efforts instead of focusing on accidents that we know are going to happen. The middle of the sticker book is a chart that can be hung on the wall and completed by the child. And with 126 stickers in each sticker book, the parents have enough stickers for 4+ months when they use one sticker a day!

I am so impressed with Tracy Foote's My Potty Activity Book that I have decided to endorse it in my ezine and on my website! If your child is potty training, this book is a must have!

Most projects in life are accomplished using several tools. Potty Activity Book is a great tool for toilet training. This important part of child development finds each child adjusting at different speeds and with different attitudes.

Potty Activity is terrific in that it gets a child interested by using a medium (drawing) which the child finds interesting and fun.By drawing and connecting lines and answering easy questions the child becomes familiar with toilet training in a non- threatening manner. The child gradually becomes educated in what steps are necessary to use the toilet. The book could easily have been titled Potty Helper. The special list of 45 Potty Tips is (alone) worth the price of the book!

My Potty Activity Book, stickers and tips are a great addition to your potty training routine.

The book arrived much larger than we would have expected and contains many pages of activity fun using drawings and real black and white photos of children.

It's not just a book to read through, it's an every day extended activity book. Parent and child can read the book each day over and over, but also interact with creative coloring and stickers day after day, page after page.

With your help, your child can proudly check off each milestone they reach on the progress chart and in the end, you have a keepsake activity book with a congratulatory certificate in the back for potty training completion.

Even if your child isn't fully trained by the end, you've still spent a lot of fun, creative and quality time together working on potty skills without all the pressure and frustration! <...

As a mother of three (the youngest being boy/girl twins)I've had my share of "toilet training". After reading this book, (MY Potty Activity Book by Tracy Foote)I was impressed by all the information and activities packed within the 63 pages. Each activity is useful in familiarizing toddlers with the "potty learning" basics. The perforated pages allow for easy removal after completing the activities. Included is a wonderful reference section utilizing 45 ideas to help you transition your child from diapers to "big pants". Your child will love having his/her own potty progress chart (included) as well as feeling a huge sense of pride when they receive their potty graduate certificate after completing the activities. Wonderful book that entertains while it educates!

Tracy Foote's "My Potty Activity Book" was just what my son needed to make that final transition out of diapers! Each page features pictures of children and different aspects of potty training (ie) various types of potty seats, washing hands, rewards for using potty, etc. Unlike other potty training story books, every page contains an activity that your child may participate in, such as coloring, connect the dots, and matching games. This book also contains over 45 potty training tips that address situations such as motivating your child, night time training, and using public restrooms. As an added bonus, each page is perforated and may be removed from the book and hung in a place where your child will be reminded of the activity featured on that page. This book was definitely an asset to successfully potty training our son!

Tracy Foote's My Potty Activity Book is a clever way to sustain a child's interest in potty training.  Designed to be used over a period of time, the book has enough coloring pages and simple exercises to last throughout the potty training period. Even better, it promotes dialogue between parent and child, the key to successful potty training.  Children will recognize themselves in the delightfully fresh illustrations.   Like all really good parenting books, My Potty Activity Book accommodates different parenting styles.  Whether potty training is started early or late, parents will find support and right-on-target suggestions to see them through the process.

My little boy has a mild case of autism so I really wasn't sure if it would help. It did - he even likes the stickers that came with it. Its still taking a little more than stickers. Each time he gets a row filled, I take him to the 99 cent store to pick out a toy. He tells me he wants a sticker after he goes potty..

My Potty Activity Book is a great way to make potty training fun. There are pictures to color in the front and you can discuss what is happening as you color just like you would point out pictures in a book you might read to your child. The book reduces pressure. I like having the option of coloring this with my child with light conversation during training vs always asking, "Do you want to go potty?". I also like that the pages are perforated so I can give one at a time to my child and have the option of posting them on the refrigerator or bathroom wall. In the back are many unique tips that are short and straight to the point so I could easily skim them and find some that really helped my son. The tips are great for busy moms who don't have time to read lengthy discussions. I would recommend this book as a supplement to anyone who wants to make potty training more fun or needs a few more easy tip ideas.

An excellent activity/colouring book, though my twins always seem to work out a way of making toilet training even more fun.

This book is a bunch of hand drawn pictures. My son was bored with it after the 1st sitting. It's too large for him to hold on his lap while he is on the toilet. Fine while he's @ his play table but that's not why I bought it.I consider this purchase to be money down the drain.
