Toilet Training in Less Than a Day by Nathan Azrin, Richard M. Foxx (1989, Paperback, Reprint)

I used this book 34 years ago to toilet train my daughter in one day. It worked beautifully!! Now I am using it to train my twin grandsons.

This may work great if you HAVE NOT attempted potty training before you tried this method. I had tried everything and this was a last resort. It was completely different from placement of potty to giving him treats for using the potty not staying dry. I just felt it would confuse him totally. I have started asking him if he is dry and giving him positive remarks for that, so I do not feel that the book was a waste AT ALL!

I absolutely loved everything about this purchase! Every aspect of it was absolutely great! Definently a buyer asset!!! I would definently order again!

Great transaction. The book was exactly what I wanted. Shipped Very quickly. I would buy again from this seller.

I have three children and used this book on the latter two for potty training. It has worked beautifully. My wife and I follow this book almost to the letter and to my surprise it really works well. Both of my children struggled through the first day, but then after had very few accidents. I would dare say that this book helps you get through 90% of potty training in one day. The other 10% simply comes with time. Keep up with the tactics, once the diaper comes off it stays off and you will be surprised how fast it goes by. We have loved using this book for potty training. Good luck to you!

I think this might be one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.Here's the premise: Lock yourself in the kitchen all day with your baby, giving her sugary drinks to make her pee, sweets as a reward if she does it right, and show obvious disapproval if she doesn't. Clearly written decades ago and should be in a museum for bad advice. do not waste your time and $$ on this book.

I believe this book works best for the first attempt at toilet training. Before reading this book I had tried with my boy for over a year, but after this book I am finally seeing progress with tips from this book, but I believe my stress would have been greatly reduced had I known about it sooner. The younger the better. The book recommends starting at 20 months old, but I plan to try it sooner with my baby girl. The book defines toilet trained as being entirely self-sufficient, using the potty chair without help or reminders, and even emptying it when finished. To accomplish this in a few concentrated fun-filled hours with your child is far better than suffering the drawn out anguish I have previously experienced with other methods. I see no down side to using the techniques found in this book. It starts with a checklist to see if the child is ready to be trained: Can he follow directions?, Can he grasp objects? Does he remain dry for extended periods rather than dribbling all day?. It recommends the use of a doll that wets for demonstration and roll playing. It encourages an environment full of one on one attention, praise, and enthusiasm. Using the child's favorite drinks as a reward encourages fluid intake, which increases urine output, allowing for more opportunity for teaching and success. Accidents are met by showing of disappointment, requiring child to clean up after self, then instructing need to practice so next time will be better. All instruction is provided in a loving manner to encourage an effective learning environment without discouragement or fear, letting the child know he is loved, but having wet pants is undesirable. I have already recommended this book to all my friends. This book may be dated, but is well worth the read.

This is a good book and great method for toilet training and I was happy to find it on ebay for a friend.

It was the exact book as described and was mailed in timely manner and the price was right.

I decided to buy this book to use with my two boys, ages 41 months and 27 months. I also have a daughter that is 15 months. I've not finished the book as yet, but what I have read so far is good. I've tried a few times to get both boys using the potty, but my middle son just isn't ready and I'm not entirely sure that my oldest one is either.

While I found the method easy enough, I'm not sure that it would be practical in my situation. I think it would be difficult for me to spend an entire day trying to intensively toilet train my oldest son, whilst my other two children are in the backgroud, as I don't really have anyone to watch my other two children. I'm sure people with twins etc., have used this method but perhaps it's easier when you're training the two children at the same time? I will finish reading the book and hopefully I will figure out a way to make this work while juggling the other two children!

This really works! My twin daughters were totally potty trained (day and night) by the time they were 2 1/2. I tried many techniques before this and once I tried this, it wasn't long before they were going on their own! It did take a little longer than the few hours that the book states, but it was within two days! I definitely recommend this book!

This really works! It wasn't quite as quick for us as the book claims. We potty trained our 3 year old son and it took a full day for him to catch on, but only a few days later he was taking himself to the potty without prompting and staying dry at night!! I definitely recommend this book, but suggest an open mind on timing...it may take longer than 4 hours.

I have heard wonderful things about this book! This process of toilet training in one day is supposed work very well so I'm looking forward to trying it (who ever says that?!?). I'm still reading it, but enjoy all the information. I paid a great price and the book is practically new.
