Present this more organized!

I'm sure this is good info but I have never been more frustrated about a book then this one - you gave all of these things to do in a long narrative format and now that I'm at the end - I have to go back and decipher all of this info and try to come up with a written plan - next time provide a checklist and schedule at the end - no busy working parent has time to try to figure all of the things that to be done and in what order - publish a companion workbook or something please! Bladder attention, water gulping, alarm test etc etc etc and that's before you get started - not to mention everything you need to do once you get started.

I read this book so that I can help my daughter to wake up to pee at night. I have finished the book, and really enjoyed it. The program is laid out step-by-step with reasonable expectations. I have not yet implemented any steps, so I am not reviewing the actual program, but the book was extremely easy to read, all steps outlined, possible difficulties are addressed and many points are reiterated and reviewed. Well-written. Wish me luck :)

This book had some really strange techniques for overcoming bedwetting, like crazy bedtime alarms that attach to underwear, etc etc. Some of these ideas just seem unrealistic. However, at the same time towards the end of the book it has more practical tips. Its an ok book, nothing to rant and rave about.

Really fun jokes and cartoons! Down-to-earth advice! Interesting stats! The only down side of this book is that it jumps back and forth a bit. It is not a linear read.

I'll let you know down the road if it works. We are in the implementation process now!
