This was a good guide to potty training. I am still in the process of carrying out the recommendations of the reading but we're making good progress. I like how the author divides up potty training into "blocks" of accomplishment. Conceptually, that helps me a lot. Due to our own circumstances, we can't (or perhaps won't) do the all-or-nothing approach that Glowacki recommends. That might be a mistake but the kid is so young that I am not worried about it. As the months pass though I want to see consistent progress that will lead to night training and training when the kid is being taken care of by other caregivers.

(Probably?) Useful information told with the most awful tone. Her "sass" is ear-grating and condescending.

The content and concept were helpful but her tone, extra comments, and unnecessary context were, well, unnecessary and unhelpful. Don’t take every word she says exactly; it’s ok to make a plan yourself that doesn’t completely align with the author’s.

Few good potty training tip hidden in a lot of over fluffy, judgemental, highly opinionated, heteronormative waffle. I feel like there's an expectation for the mum to stay off work for days to make this happen. I'll be taking what I need from it and ignoring the rest.
