خب متوجه شدم قسمت هایی که توی کتاب گفته شده اشتباه هست و نباید برای بچه ها انجام بشه، در موردِ من انجام شده😅 چند تا نسل دقیقاً سوخته محسوب میشن؟

شايد خيلي از مادرها اموزش دستشويي رفتن به بچه ها رو ساده بدونن يا معتقد باشن به كتاب نيازي نداره . اما از نظر من خوندن كتاب ها و منابعي از اين دست هم ذهن رو دسته بندي ميكنه هم شما رو براي اتفاقات و مشكلات و موانع احتمالي آماده ميكنه. دختر من به خيس شدن واكنش خاصي نشون نميداد ولي از مطالب اين كتاب به اين نتيجه رسيدم كه كاملا متوجه شرايط هست و فقط به خاطر احساس شرم سعي ميكنه موضوع رو بي اهميت جلوه بده !

Good amount of information on starting, and also advice for when various things happen (regression, infection, constipation, nighttime wetting). Been working on potty training my almost 3 year old for the last 4 months. The author's practical advice is exactly what I've noticed our child has responded well to, and I plan to implement a lot more of the ideas and strategies from the book as we try to start training again in the next couple of days.

Who would've thought I'd be reading about toilet training at this stage of my life?! I read it simply to refresh myself on potty training as my great grandchildren are living at my home now, one of which will start training soon. This is an easy and quick guide that seems to cover everything.

Lots of tips and troubleshooting type information. The method here is focused on cooperation and slow, steady progress. Not a ton of detail about the actual training method, but lots of ideas for if things go awry.

Maybe 4 stars? I appreciated it for bwong factial and to the point, but that did render it fairly dry.

I just randomly picked this off the library shelf to give me ideas about potty training my little boy. It was pretty straight forward and informative although certain parts felt like they were a little more detailed than what was necessary. It seemed like a decent potty training book but nothing I would really rave about.

I realized I have no idea how to potty train a child. And I have a child now.

This book seems pretty good. I've determined my son is too young to be potty trained, so I'll have to test the techniques in this book later.

I liked the laid-back approach. Maybe #3 will be as easy to potty train as #2, but maybe he'll be potty trained even earlier? (I'm crossing my fingers!)

Concise and practical advice, sorted in easy to read sections. I think I'll be re-reading and referencing this one throughout the process.... (when we actually get started, if ever....)
