Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro [toilet training] Review

I saw this book at Barnes & Noble on sale and immediately sat down with my laptop to check the reviews before buying it. Based on those, I thought "what the heck" and bought the book. I had been working with my daughter on potty training (admittedly sporadically and not with a consistent method) for 9 months. She was 2 1/2 when I first started with her and about 3 and 3 months when we had her potty party. We went for the princess theme and I have to say, even if the concepts in the book hadn't worked, it would have all been worth it for the look on her face when she woke up to her party and the experience we had bonding as mother and daughter without all of the other family members in the house. I will say that it took extensive preparation in getting all of the decorations purchased, making arrangements to be alone in the house for the day and I felt like I was cramming for a college final the night before the party to make sure I was saying the right things and doing it all in the right order. But it was worth every effort and dollar spent. She went from going potty in the toilet 2 or 3 times over the course of MONTHS and just not being interested in it AT ALL to going 5 times on the day of the party with ZERO accidents. She is still using pull-ups at nap and bed time, but I don't care. She's had a handful of accidents in the month since we had the party and I don't care about that either. We used the Fisher Price musical princess potty and bought a doll that looks like a toddler to train her with. My only complaint is that the author suggests dolls to use for the party that look like babies...with bottles. Uhm, if you're going to use a doll to potty train your toddler, shouldn't the doll look like your toddler? With that being said, the only toddler-looking doll that potties on the market (that I could find anyway) would wet her pants as soon as you had her drink something. Oh well, that just created more opportunities to talk with my daughter about using her "potty training memory muscles" after we have an accident. If you've never heard a 3-year-old say "potty training memory muscles" then buy this book if for no other reason than that. :)

Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro [toilet training] Overview

Finally...a fun, easy-to-use guide to potty training any child in just ONE DAY

Just think, from the time babies are born until they are toilet trained, they use an average of 4,000 diapers! Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day is the helpful guide you've been waiting for to get your child out of diapers and turn the potentially terrifying process of toilet training into an effective and enjoyable bonding experience with your child.

Teri guides parents to the successful one-day potty training of their child by teaching them how to:

• Look for the signs that your child is ready to be potty trained
• Make the potty connection by using a potty-training doll
• Create incentive through consistent positive reinforcement
• Use charts, quizzes, and checklists to help with every step of potty training
• Know when it's time to bring in a potty pinch hitter
• Complete your potty training -- no more accidents

Once Teri teaches you her techniques, she shares her secret -- potty parties! She has carefully designed twelve imaginative themes for parties, such as a seriously silly circus, a cartoon character carnival, or a magic carpet express, and supplies parents with everything they will need. Teri has proven that a potty party day engages a child in potty training in a way that no other method has before -- by speaking a toddler's language. A party may translate to fun, games, cake, candy, presents, and prizes to a child, but with Teri's expertise, parents can use it as a tool to motivate their child to want to go to the bathroom -- and to keep on going. That's why it works in just one day!

Sets false hope - sandiegomom -
While I do think it's a good idea to have a party to kickstart the potty training process, the title alone of this book makes you believe you can potty train your child in one day. It says in the book that after a couple of days if the child is still having accidents they should be medically checked out. We did the party, which helped get things started. After 5 days our son still has a few accidents a day, which is perfectly normal-I do not think he has a medical problem, but thinks that is just a nice disclaimer for the author if the book does not work. The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Potty Training Problems (The Pocket Idiot's Guides)is much better for addressing various issues and for being realistic. This book does not address problems like what to do if your child doesn't want to go. Also, given the amount of stuff I needed to buy for the party, it was a big let down.

Worked for My Daughter But Not My Son - Heather Leigh Smith -
I got this book figuring I would just get some hints from it and continue at the snails pace I was progressing with my boy/girl almost 3 year old twins. My daughter had been doing "ok" and my son just screamed every time we tried to get him to sit on any type of potty or potty chair without a diaper. It seemed simple and easy enough - one day to devote to potty training. My daughter did great, and while we're still working on the pooping, peeing is going GREAT! My son, on the other hand, spent the whole morning doing great with his party and the doll but fell to pieces when it was his turn to start. And then fell to pieces again when we tried again, and then when the doll tried again . . . So rather than loose what little sanity I have left we called it quits for the day. I have to say the hardest part was just getting the other kid out of the house for the whole day. My son is making small progress in his own way now, and I do still attribute that to the work we did during the potty party - the doll worked better with him than it did with my daughter interestingly. And I gave them some little 25 cent presents or an easter egg filled with maybe 4 M&M's (ah, behold the mystic power of the M&M when potty training! Works a little too well) because they go nutso for the chocolate (just like Mom). They both love opening little presents. Enough. Good Luck. If you've tried everything else, give this a shot.

Not a miracle book - K. Whitfield - Jacksonville, FL
This title is so misleading. Maybe some parents can potty train their child in one day, but it wasn't the case for us. I read this and did everything the book outlined and it was still a process of trial and error to find what worked for my almost 3 year old son. It is a good resource but I encourage parents not to be discouraged if her potty party doesn't work for your child. 3 weeks into the process we're having success with an extremly stubborn little boy.

Not successful - Marla -
I followed this book with my 2 yr 3 mth old boy. It didn't work for us. I am going to try again in a couple months.
