Potty Training 1-2-3 [Paperback]

Gary Ezzo (Author), Robert Bucknam (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2004

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.

This review is from: Potty Training 1-2-3 (Paperback)

We seriously doubted we could train our daughter in a day - we hoped a couple of weeks would get us headed in the right direction. You'll be dubious too when you read the intro (tells about a Mom who trained their kid in 5 hours), but after 3 days of using the methods from this book, our daughter was clean and dry. She didn't really take to the doll like the book said she would, but the basic ideas in the book are very easy to implement and helped A LOT. It's a quick read and gives good guidance, but is not so strict you can't adapt it to your own parenting style and the personality of your toddler. Just be patient - potty training won't be easy. We were ready to give up after half a day, but we're SO glad we stuck it out - the second day was much easier and day 3 was great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, Short to the Point, January 18, 2007

If anyone has ever read, "How to Toilet Train your Child in Less than a Day" you know that potty training books can be somewhat obnoxious to read. Making it seem much more simple than it is, and yet forcing you to wade through way too much information. This book took many of the concepts from the less than a day book, but stuck to the basic points, and also admitted that not all children can be trained in less than a day. Great resource for potty training!

I searched through many approaches but this one made the most sense and was very straight forward. With twin boys it didn't happen in quite a day but they were both trained in two weeks. I recommend this book to all my friends. I especially liked the trouble-shooting questions in the back.
