Review by Happy Mom for Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro [toilet training]
Rating:
i have to say that i was skeptical when i first saw the book – but was so engrossed in it, i read half of it before leaving the bookstore. my son was to start preschool at the end of august 2006 and their criteria was that he had to be 3 and he had to be potty trained. i had known about this since march, but tried to train him (admittedly, half-heartedly) and then decided to wait with the idea that he would want to do it eventually on his own – eventually turned into *never* and by the time august rolled around, i was getting pretty desperate. my son turned 3 in august and i thought that he would wake up one day and just “be ready” to potty train. not so! i read the book, ordered the doll, bought truck-themed underwear, decorated the house with streamers and balloons, bought activity books, paints, crayons, etc., and prepared for a very long day! i got up earlier than he did, straightened my hair, put on makeup and a cute skirt, as if i was going to a party myself. we had the party on a thursday (five days before he was to start preschool) and he was fully trained by saturday. by monday, he was going both poop and pee in the adult toilet (though i did use the child’s toilet during the training day – but eventually it was his decision to do it like the rest of us on the big toilet – hooray!). i am so happy that he is truly out of diapers – we do use pull-ups at night (or what we now call “disposable underwear” as teri crane suggests) and i would say that in the last two weeks, maybe two of them have been wet. the first thing he does in the morning is run and use the bathroom. this is such a milestone in a child’s life that it’s worth it to read the book and make it happen in a FUN, QUICK, POSITIVE way! it will save your sanity and you will not regret it!

I saw this book on a morning news program and thought it sounded interesting so purchased it. I took notes, purchased a potty training doll for my son, and made plans for his own special “potty party day.” He had already shown interest in toilet training and met all of the “prerequisits” listed in the book. I was excited going into the potty party day and spent about a month preparing for it. I also felt like I had reasonable expectations going into this – I did not expect my son to be “completely-on-his-own-toilet-trained” by the end of the day. I had just thought it would be a great “jump start” to potty training! The day of the potty party arrived and my son woke up happy and excited, but it was all down-hill from the moment he opened the box with the doll. As the morning progressed he became jealous of the doll and refused the tasty treats and incentives that were all part of the potty training method in the book. After my watching my son’s reaction to opening the present containing the theme underwear, I decided to call it quits. I feel that I had reasonable expectations and had prepared well, but at the end of the day it was a waste of my time and money. I would suggest you borrow this book from a friend or the library and think twice before making purchases or doing a lot of planning. This method just did not work for our son. We are trying a sticker chart now, but he seemed to be “tramatized” after the potty party morning and now has really lost interest. I wish you better luck than we had!

I bought this book on a whim at a bookstore when my infant was fussing in the shopping cart. I didn’t read the book jacket well enough before buying it and most likely would not have purchased it had I known that the technique only involved throwing a party. Like a previous reviewer said, this method will only work if your child enjoys a party and likes to have a fuss made about them. My son isn’t shy, but he gets embarrassed easily. I need to take a more mellow approach to his accomplishments or he refuses to repeat them. This book wasn’t for us.

I bought this book as my last resort. My first child (boy) was trained in ONE DAY using the Dr. Phil method which is a condensed version of this book. Actually, my son hated the doll and would throw it on the ground, but the motivational calls from dump trucks, excavators and cement mixers worked like a charm (calls from Bob the Builder scared him…go figure). That’s all it took for him at 3yrs 3m old.
My daughter is 2yrs 9m old and MUST be fully potty-trained by September for preschool. I was down to the wire with her. I tried bribery (M&Ms), I tried the motivational calls that worked so well with my son (she could care less), I tried using the wetting doll like the Dr. Phil method says. NOTHING. I was at wits end. Since I have read books about every other stage (pregnancy, nursing, 1st yr), I gave in and bought this book after reading reviews of all the potty training books. THIS BOOK WORKS! Without it, my daughter would surely still be in diapers. It has been 14 days and she is dry!!!
I followed the book to the letter. It is A LOT of work — BE PREPARED to be ON for 12 hours. I think, the decoration portion can be modified without any effect to the child. I went with the beach theme and made waves out of blue poster board, blew up a swan and hung fish from the ceiling. She loved it! The tough part was having the doll have a total of 10-12 accidents from 8am to 12pm (lunch). After lunch you are supposed to focus on the child. My daughter was not as interested in the doll having accidents as I had hoped and I thought I was doomed to fail. After lunch she took her nap. BEWARE OF NAPS! She woke up at 3:30pm! You are supposed to focus on the child being a big girl/boy after nap, have a big celebration at 6pm and in between that time, get the child to go succesfully on the potty 4-5 times. Well, it takes a while for fluids to go through your system. She only had 2 successes on potty training day. For the first week after the potty extravaganza, she was averaging 1-2 accidents a day. I had to anticipate when she was going to have to go (I highly recommend doing the BLADDER TIME CHART. It was my saving grace in figuring out when she would probably have to go). I spent most of my time in the bathroom that 1st week. No joke! Also, I continued to make the doll have a few accidents as reinforcement (that also REALLY HELPED and, I hate to say it, but felt good to tell the doll in a firm voice — since you can’t do it to the child — “NO MORE PEE PEE IN YOUR PANTS!”). Week 2, something clicked!! My daughter started to tell me when she has to go “wee wee” or “poo poo.” HALLELULAH!! I am now at day 15 and she is accident free and we both couldn’t be happier!
GOOD LUCK!

I had the pleasure of attending one of Teri’s potty training boot camps a few months ago and bought this book after hearing the method. My husband and I decided that since parties were the most exciting thing to our 3.5 year old son, that this was the way to go. I spent a total of 6 hours with “the boy” on a Saturday… we trained a Buzz Lightyear in the morning… watched a few potty vidoes, read many potty books, colored potty coloring pages, grossed out the boy having Buzz “poop” (rolled up tootsie rolls!) and it clicked! In the afternoon, the boy realized he could do it too! We were under a tight deadline due to the refund of a preschool deposit for fall if he wasn’t potty trained. Now he will be ready! He is so incredibly GI-NORMOUSLY proud of himself and we can’t thank Teri enough for her insight. BRILLIANT Teri! THANK YOU!!!!!
