I got this AFTER we started training my daughter.... AFTER I have been totally frustrated for a good two weeks about lack of progress and feeling like a complete mommy-failure. I totally should have read this book BEFORE we even started talking to Grace about potties and poopies! :o) This is, however, the only book I've read so far, but it makes complete sense to me and seems like it will be fairly natural to follow. I also like that it acknowledges the "societal pressures" to gt your kid potty trained quickly and encourages you to let your kid show you when (s)he's ready. I recommend this to all my mommy-firends.
