## Description

From the Publisher Get the best in potty books for toddlers Introduce the Toilet Even if your child is partially familiar with the toilet, this guide goes beyond other potty training books to help you start a formal potty training process. That way his ideas about it come from you, not somewhere else. The more the child knows about the toilet and bathroom, the more comfortable he will be when training starts. For instance, “Little Bob, this is called the toilet or the potty. When you’re a big boy, you sit on this to pee or poop instead of using a diaper. When you're all done, you flush the toilet, like this. It’s not a toy, so we don’t play with it.” Always Be Pottying This potty book will help you stay patient though the process. Your child shouldn’t leave your eyesight ever. Wherever she goes, you go, reminding her every step of the way that she needs to tell you when she needs to go potty. This is the most stressful part of potty training: You have explained everything to your child and she hasn’t had an accident yet, so you have no idea how she will respond and react. Usually, kids are surprised when pee starts running down their legs, especially if they have never worn underwear before—but you never know until it happens the first time. An Empty Bladder To set your child up for overnight success, it’s important that she goes to the bathroom before going to sleep, whatever time of day that is. If your child goes to sleep with a full bladder, she’ll wet the bed. She just can’t help it. A little trick is to have kids go to the bathroom 30 minutes before bedtime, and then one more time as the very last thing they do before hopping into bed. That way, they have had two chances to empty their bladders, which are now, most likely, completely empty.

Review: Great practical strategies!! I highly recommend! - I'm don't have a child, but my boyfriend does and we needed to start potty training. As a non-parent, I was 100% clueless on how to go about this process. My boyfriend's daughter is 3 and his only child so it was time, but he was clueless too. I tried consulting with other parents who had tips, but no real strategy or plan to offer. I asked my mom who had the helpful reply of: your babysitter potty trained you! So off to the desertcart book shop I went! I perused a bunch of books and this seemed to be the best fit for me. It was written by someone with expertise in the area, it claimed to be able to do it in a short period of time, and it was relatively short. I thought it would be a good jumping off point. It was a quick read! It bullet points the important stuff and gives all the relevant information without a lot of fluff. I like that. I ended up not purchasing any other books (though I did read through a number of online resources just to see other theories and practices and pick which best suited our situation). I gave the book to the boyfriend and then we were off to the races! Potty training went well! She had just turned 3 about a month earlier and was ready to give it a go. We followed the instructions on talking with her leading up to it and then throwing out the diapers. We also used a reward sticker chart (which she lost interest in after three days) and candy. After five days she had only had 6 accidents, three of which were during nap time so I didn't really count. We have been sticking with it and it has really worked. I think the book provided good practical strategies. The one thing we ended up using that the book discouraged was a potty watch. I thought the potty watch seemed like a gimmick, but it has worked really well for us. The 3 year old is only with us half the time so it provided a certain level of consistency for her. Also, we ended up setting timers on our phones to remind us to take her to the potty every 30 minutes or so and she got accustomed to hearing the alarms. When she'd hear our phones go off, she'd yell: Potty time! And race off to the bathroom herself. So since she took to that, I got the watch and it has worked really well for her. She still hasn't figured out all the signals from her body that she needs to go, but she's getting there. So for now the watch is helpful little reminder. We are only about three weeks into the whole potty training thing, but I am very happy with the results. I highly recommend this book. All the strategies in it may not work for you or your child, but it explains the reasoning well enough that it provides you with the knowledge to make the best decisions for you and your child.
Review: Buy this if you can’t get your child trainec - Update of July 2023, it stuck. My granddaughter has since ( after I left florida) went to church and during Sunday school, daddy recieved no call from the nursery. ( win) upon his return to get her from nursery he was informed she went into the bathroom and used the potty all on her own. It’s so nice when places have the children’s toilets ( close to the floor) ….. I never thought I would need a book to tell me how to potty train. I’m in my 60s I potty trained mine ( when he was age 2 seems to be the twilight age) I’ve babysat and helped potty train many children. Again they were at the age of 1 1/2-2….. I honestly don’t know how my granddaughter would have become potty trained without this book popping up in my search for potty training supplies. I am so thankful, it made it happen. So if you missed the perfect window for it ( one and half to 2) or your child is just an early independent, get this book, follow it to a T. You may or may not find the 3 days easy, but it’s worth it in the end…….end of update. My daughter in law was waiting for my granddaughter to decide when she was ready for potty training, yes I laughed as well but there was no convincing her to do it at 2. Young mother. So then the child is almost 4 and the fight began. This child has now developed a mind of her own and learned the word no, and very stubborn about trying new things or anything she doesn’t want to. So I bought the mom this book. And it just laid there until I went to visit and daddy was screaming help( now mommy has left the picture full time) . I tried as I did when mine was age 2. She wasn’t having it. Sure she would humor me and hang out on the potty with me but nothing happened and she would still go hide in a corner and do her little poop dance in her training pants. I had to read this book. It works. But everyone in the household either needs to read the book and abide by the rules or stay out of the process. Consistency, staying on point, everyone on same page was a must. You must be willing to give up 3 whole days without your phone and any distractions. ( even mommy came over to observe and help). Have plenty of activities your child will enjoy. We mostly worked with alphabet letters, reading, she loves to learn to read. Play doh and little animal figures identifying the different animals and their sounds. You can never take your eyes off the child for a minute because she will use that minute to go in her pants I promise you. It’s only 3 days ( keep telling yourself) then no more spending money on diapers, keep thinking what you’re gonna do with all that extra money lol. Your child can’t go off and play or watch tv or anything without you or this won’t be a success in 3 days. At 60 years old this was not easy for me. We never left the house and I love my granddaughter endlessly but this child is quite the talker lol. But it was a win win. We not only never wore a diaper again ( she even stayed dry thru naps) and most nights. We have really bonded, ( I live 900 miles away) she now has a picture of the two of us and her every night routine (her daddy tells me) she has to check to make sure our picture is beside her unicorn night light before she says her prayers and goes to bed. So buy this read it I read it twice and did some highlighting. And plan a fun at home 3 days of undivided attention. If you have other kids if they’re old enough to help great if not maybe a weekend with the grandparents is due. This will work if you follow her directions. And it’s not a boring read, the author has jokes. Lol. Good luck

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with modifications
*by R***E on September 21, 2021*

We are five days in and I’ll call it a success! My 23 month old son made it through the morning this morning going on the potty 5 times with zero accidents. I’ll call this a win. I’d like to share a few indicators of why I felt he was ready and then a few modifications we made to the book to make it work for us. First of all, I really appreciated her pointing out the indicators of when children are ready for potty training and dispelling some myths. I was told that 23 months is too early, I was told boys take longer, I was told not to try yet. I did it anyway. Why? Because I felt he was ready. And because I’m incredibly stubborn. (And so is my strong willed child!). Also because I’m expecting another in about 4 months and wanted to have a good handle on potty training before we have another in diapers. First, we’ve cloth diapered since birth. One of the benefits of cloth diapering is that they do feel wet (even with fleece and wicking materials). I factored this into my decision to cloth diaper and expected to potty train early. Second, my son has been telling us for over a month every time he poops in his diaper (asking to be changed). He also greets me in the morning and after nap times by telling me his diaper is wet. He clearly understands what this means. Third, although he developmentally can not yet dress himself, he follows complicated directions and can communicate with single words and gestures. I planned initially to follow this book to the “T.” I did all the prep, changed his diapers in the bathroom for a month, picked out motivating treats, and cleared our schedule. The first morning went well. So well actually that he successfully went on the toilet twice after several hours of accidents. We went into nap time feeling really good. The afternoon was a disaster. Despite catching every single accident and bringing him to the toilet he WOULD NOT go on the toilet again. Tantrums ensued. I persevered and got through day one. Day two we did break one of the rules… It was the last warm day of the fleeting Michigan summer so we took a car trip to the pool and took the morning off of potty training. I was concerned this was going to ruin everything and considered waiting another week to start but went through with it anyway. This turned out to be a really good decision. On the trip I read a bunch of these reviews to see what I was doing wrong or what other suggestions there were and decided to make a couple modifications: Modification #1: Switch to the little potty. This makes sense if you are potty training a little one younger than the authors preferred starting age of 2.5. My little dude is not afraid of the potty, he LOVES flushing the toilet and dumping out the pee. But learning how to release your pelvic floor on demand to pee is stressful enough without having to climb up steps and sit on that giant toilet with your feet barely touching the step stool. Modification #2: Instead of focusing on getting him to “Tell me when you have to pee” I’m instead watching his cues and catching his accidents before they happen. I noticed he gets antsy, might walk in circles (like a dog) or even start running in circles when he has to go. I get him onto the potty and then we read a book or two until he relaxes and pees. By doing this about once an hour (starting about 1.5 -2 hours after he wakes up) we are taking away the traumatizing accident followed by me rushing him to the potty just to not pee. And then having to keep doing that every 15 minutes until all is out. Again, if you are training an older child, maybe the “tell me when you have to pee” part will work. For us he is happier and tantrum free to go on a schedule. Now that he is peeing regularly and much easier on the potty we will start working on that piece as a next step. Modification #3: I was not successfully “pumping” my child full of fluids. He only drinks water (no milk) and rarely juice. By the end of day one he already connected that the extra beverages were causing this nightmare and started refusing all beverages. We switched back to just water and I did have to use the (take two sips) tell method quite frequently just to get him to drink. Today our sitter set a duck noise timer on her phone and when it goes off they go get water. He loves it and it’s working, so that’s a fun suggestion! Helpful hint: I work from home and we have a sitter that watches him throughout the day. I can’t imagine sending him this young to daycare after 3 days, I don’t think we would be seeing the progress that we are. That’s about it. I would still 100% recommend this book as a great overview and a really good plan to get you started. If you have a young child, do yourself a favor and make some modifications. We are on day 5 and he went on the potty 5 times before nap time, zero accidents and no leakage. Good luck!
