Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day by Teri Crane, Toni Robino (2006, Paperback)

I was sceptical on this book. I realy didn't think it would work, but I was desperate. I tried the potty party and did everything the book said....and to my suprise it worked. We have only had a couple of accidents since the party.

This was an average book on potty training. I was very excited to receive it and thought it would totally change the way I have been trying to potty train my son, but as I read on I realized that although the potty training party that the books focuses on was a different idea from other things that I had heard, your child will not be "potty trained" in just one day. Your child will learn the basics of going on the potty every so often that you suggest to your child to go on the potty, but it doesn't mean that at the end of the day your child will be telling you that he/she has to go or will walk to the bathroom him/herself. I had already achieved this in one day with my son, he would go on the potty evertime I sat him on it, but it doesn't mean that he is potty trained. All in all, if you have not idea about potty training, it does have some good advice, but it is definetly not the miracle answer that it seems to be by the title.

I like the idea of this book, I haven't finished the book so I haven't inplamented it yet but I am determined to have a more enjoyable experance potty training my second child and I think this book might be the key to that suscess.

the book was informative but it was repetative and repetitive and repetitive. It is helpful but could have been done with 1/2 as many pages.

Some of the stuff was common sense in the book... The reading goes quickly, easy to follow. I bought it because I need to potty train my daughter and needed ideas on how to do so. Some of the ideas seem helpful. Some of the things/ideas in the book are for older children at least age 3-4 (which they should've been trained by than) and don't have an alternative for proper potty training aged children- 1.5-2.5 years old. I would only recommend buying the book for less than cost- like a used copy or cheap brand new because it is not fully worth $14 brand new.
