5.0 out of 5 stars MY CHILD'S FAVORITE BOOK, April 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Toilet Learning: The Picture Book Technique for Children and Parents (Paperback)

This book immediately became my little boy's favorite book. "Look, Mommy," he said with a big smile. "It's about me!" After a few days of looking at the charming, colorful illustrations in Part 2 (the book's children's section), designed by experts to help children learn about their bodily functions, and of having the book's cute story read to him, he let me know that he was ready to go to the bathroom "just like a grownup." I couldn't believe how soon he was using the toilet by himself. The whole process was amazingly hassle-free. I found Part 1 of the book (the section for parents, which contains complete information about the psychology and physiology of "toilet learning") fascinating. In fact, the relaxed, patient attitude Part 1 recommends has carried over to every other area of my parenting. There's a banner that runs across the upper-right-hand corner of the book's front cover that reads, "The classic bestseller." I can certainly see why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for information on toilet learning, December 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Toilet Learning: The Picture Book Technique for Children and Parents (Paperback)

What's great about this book is that it covers all the basic information in a quick and easy to read format. The combination of having a section for parents and then a section for the child is wonderful. The bottom line message which I think all parents should follow is to let your child give up the diapers when he/she is ready. Otherwise you spend a lot of time and effort on "potty training" when the child is going to do it when they are ready anyway.

My daughter loved this book. She asked for it every day and now she is diaper free. I found the parent section highly informative. IT MADE ME A BETTER PARENT. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
