Helpful potty training tips/ poor writing with unnecessary opinions

I'm going to hold off on giving this a rated review until I've actually begun to potty-train my daughter. That said, I'd still suggest reading this book. It gives a lot of insight into the psychology of potty-training and why toddlers sometimes do the things they do. Better yet, it has a lot of advice on how to deal with them at their most frustrating. It's clear, concise, and very approachable. I never thought I'd say it, but this book has got me excited about potty-training!

I definitely won't pick up another book on the subject. I loved the blunt, common sense, practical and hilarious approach to potty training. The way she explains things just make sense! It works, it really really works. My oldest was completely potty trained at 20 months with this method (and without a lot of hysterics and wine drinking by me!) This will be added to my "must read for new parents" list!

Easy to follow and sound advice. Now to set a date and go for it!

Picked a date to potty train, started reading this, and then my daughter decided she didn't want to do a diaper so we tried this, knowing full well we only had two days until dealing with daycare. It was the worst day, all of our potty training nightmares come to fruition, and we are taking tomorrow to regroup. I wasn't crazy about the author's tone and didn't feel like the issues we anticipated and actually had with my child's brand of stubborn were addressed. With so much conflicting information about when to start training, you feel like a failure from page one of this when your kid is a hair away from 3. I know others who reported success with this method, but they definitely weren't teachers with limited time off who moved during the summer after adjusting to having a premature baby when their kid first started showing readiness signs.

One of the most helpful and practical parenting books I’ve read so far!

Effective. Like other reviewers, sooo many personal opinions and was a little convoluted at times. But! It works. Let’s hope we don’t have to review any more books on making your kid(s) go 💩. Three cheers for being potty trained!

I loved the troubleshooting sections, but didn’t vibe super well with the almost judgy tone. That’s a strong way to phrase it, especially as it’s a good tool, but had a touch more preaching about parenthood than I needed at such a stressful time.
