The book (content) is genius, and it works! I did not get the book pictured. It was old and pages were yellowed with a bargain books sticker still on it saying $2.00. It has very basic illustrations, but it's a quick read, and if you follow it exactly, you won't be disappointed. Very well researched and thought out. My son is a little past 2 and a half. We used a puppet instead of a doll and I hid a squirt bottle in its belly to make the doll "pee." He went from not caring if he was a "big boy" vs baby who uses diapers to beyond so proud to be a big boy who can keep his pants dry. We still have to do lots of reminders and he had some accidents the first week when not in our familiar environment, but he's come soooooo far! I was a little skeptical, but we went for it, and I'm so glad we did! Read more
This book really worked with our daughters. The process really honors and respects the child by positive reinforcement. First, the parent and child "train" a doll together, then the child alone trains the doll (with the parents' guidance), The toddler then is rewarded not only for going potty in the toilet, but for "dry undies checks". Smart, efficient, and effective! Read more
Very Helpful in getting my stubborn 3 year old to start training Read more
I used this method with my two older children (now 17 and 15) and it worked like a charm. Learning by teaching is a research based way to learn and the basis of this method. My only suggestion is to use “junk” cereal instead of candy—to much sugar may have your little one bouncing off the wall and unable to focus! Read more
Cover is not the same as advertised. Pages are very browned/brittle. Looks like it's the same book as pictured but deceiving when your expecting one book, but receive an older version. Read more
I used this 30 years ago for both my kids. I've given it as a gift at least 5 times. Nothing works better if you just follow the book. Read more
This makes so much sense, the approach is easily understood by the child & works very quickly. In a few hours the child knows all the steps to potty. Read more
I first used this method about 30 years ago, and it worked like a dream. Since then, I have potty trained several grandkids, and nieces and nephews in about 4 hours. Read more
