This is a really good, common-sense approach to potty training your child when he's ready. No gimmicks or magic tricks, just some really helpful answers to potty training questions and a sensible way to initiate the learning process and see it through to the goal: a happy, confident kid who knows when they need to go potty and can do it independently.

I skimmed this book and found a few good ideas to implement. I appreciated that she accepts that potty training is different for every child and family. I especially liked the chapter on power struggles. It's like she had a hidden camera in our house! Hopefully some of the new ideas will help!

I thought this was a broad look at ways to potty train. I prefer parenting books that give plenty of information and allow the parent to choose what is best for their child so this one was very helpful. It also gave good advice on some of the common potty training struggles.

It's not as though we've mastered the potty training... by any stretch of the imagination. But I still appreciate this book. I just keep chanting. "That's okay, Calvin. Someday you WILL go on the potty".

I really liked the middle-of-the-road approach to toilet training. It helped me realize that I can nudge without controlling it all.
