review 1: An interesting read for parents on the verge of getting their kids potty trained. Loved the idea that the writers had segregated the personality of the kids with their potty habbit. Although still early for me to train my lil girl, I'm not prepared on what to expect. I'm a little shocked though at the part where the writers encourage the parents to show their poo to the little ones. I'm sure the kids would be scared for life after that experience *LOL*
review 2: This was just the kind of toilet training book I was hoping for. The whole "training-in-a-day" methods were completely stressing me out. I think I'm just not that committed yet. Anyway, this book actually has you analyze your child's personality (goal-directed, sensory-oriented, internalizer, impulsive,
... more or strong-willed). Then it talks about common strengths/pitfalls for each personality type. I actually made some discoveries about my son (who knew he was impulsive?!), and I'm feeling more confident in tackling this daunting task! I also just feel more oriented in potty language (that sounds horrible!) and ideas. There is quite a bit of repetition throughout the book. Most of the time I wasn't bugged by it, but there was one phrase that drove me crazy: "Please remember: no one can force a child to eat, sleep, or use the toilet." All right! I remember!Anyway, I definitely recommend this to any moms who, like me, are not very excited about ditching the diapers. less
