 A great book November 24, 2008
I bought this book mostly because of the title. After reading the book and assessing my son's skills I really believed he was ready physically even though he didn't show any direct interest in learning to use the potty (he never asked to use it or really talked about it). I first tried to train him on my own as the book suggests, unfortunately it was a terrible failure where we were both crying and frustrated. My son is incredibly stubborn and willfully disobedient in all areas and this was no exception. I waited a few weeks and got my husband to help. We worked together and encouraged each other when we got frustrated and that helped us to be more encouraging to my son as well. We had a very intense 2 days then by the 3rd day he had it down well (except for bowel movements, those took a bit longer). He immediately started sleeping through naps without wetting even though up until that point he always soaked his diaper at naps. After only a few weeks he no longer wet the bed at night either. I am proud to say that my 25 month old son was potty trained after only 2 intense days. I really didn't think it could go much better than that.....until my daughter came along. At 18 months I bought her a potty chair and showed it to her. The next day I got her up from her nap and she said "I do poopoo in potty like brother" I said ok, thinking it would just be a nice practice sitting on the potty time. I was wrong, she immediately had a bowel movement and told me she was a big girl now. That weekend I pottytrained her by myself in 3 hours with no tears or frustration at all. She took longer to be dry at night and has had alot more accidents than her brother did but I figure alot of that is because she was so much younger. Now I have a completely potty trained 4 year old and 2 year old all because of this book! They are both very happy and proud of their accomplishments as well.
It reallly works! November 23, 2008
This book reallly works! I had doubts about it but I was desperate. My son is almost 4 and refused to do number 2 in potty. Although he has no problem peeing in it. This book was written in the 1970's so I modified it to today's time. Instead of using a doll, I used a stuffed animal. Plus we went to library and got many children's books on potty training plus watched potty training videos. Sure enough he went on the potty by himself by 11 am and said he never wants to wear diapers ever again. Wow I was really impressed by this book. This book goes into detail on what to do and how to do it. Plus it was easy & fun for him!
 Thorough Teaching Approach! October 16, 2008
This book teaches a very thorough approach to teaching a child how to use the potty. The approach will allow you to instruct a child to do everything from pulling down/up training pants, to urinating & defecating in the potty, dumping out the potty, wiping, etc. I used this book to train my 24 month old son. We spent about 1.5 hours in "training". During the first hour, my child was very enthusiastic about teaching his teddy bear (we didn't buy a potty doll) to use the potty and getting treats for having dry undies. THEN, he turned on me! He refused to use the potty and resisted anything to do with potty training. At that point, I thought this book was WORTHLESS and I lost all hope that my son would ever be potty trained. We gave up for the day and went back to diapers. The next morning when I was putting on his diaper he said "undies!" and he has been potty trained since. So, this book DID WORK for us after all. I purchased it because of the positive reviews and track record for success. If the Toilet Training in Less Than A Day method doesn't work for you, don't give up. Give your child the time, and know that at least this book will teach him/her the skills he/she needs to be potty trained! Whether or not your child will immediately put those skills to use is another story...every child is different.
It works! September 28, 2008
I used this book to potty-train my kids back in the late 1970's and both of them were trained in one day. It's an intensive day of focused training, but they understood the concept before the end of the day. They were both about 22 months old at the time of training.
HUGE Difference August 26, 2008
This book was really designed for younger children than my 4yr old, but I was able to successfully adapt the concepts within the book and within one afternoon we went from diapers/pullups to underwear and dry pants. He is even dry at nights now. We did experience a reluctance to have a BM in the potty chair but even that wasn't as much of a struggle as in other attempts over the last two years. I was real pleased with how this book took you step by step, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to avoid the frustration of potty training, even if my experience wasn't ideal, it was more successful than any other method had been.
