Oh Crap! Potty Training, Volume 1: Everything Modern Parents Need to Know to Do It Once and Do It Right by Jamie Glowacki
5.0
Excellent method for potty training. It worked for us and our 28 month old boy only has accidents when we (or caregivers) miss his cues.
As with any parenting book, I took what I needed and ignored the rest. There are some things that might frustrate people but just ignore it and focus on the potty training method.
Key points that caused me to read it in the first place:
1) Clear expectations for parents and toddler
2) More structured than Montessori method, less rigid than the 3 day method
3) Encourages parent-child bonding while also leaving space for working parents with caregivers (grandparents, daycare, nannies, etc)
4) it’s meant to be accomplished in about a week depending on how committed you are and the readiness of the toddler
5) there is an ideal training window for children (about 2-3 years old) and it fit for our family.
6) is not rewards-based and instead focuses on the child paying attention to their body and when they need to go.
