Rating:
I did everything in this book over a long weekend, and it totally did not work. My son is older (3) and has been trained to pee in the toilet, but is still very hesitant to poop on the potty. I used every ( and I do mean every) technique and none worked. However, I think my son may just be fearful or very stubborn. I should note, that I emailed the author for some advice at the outset and she replied within the day. For that reason and the fact that this book is not a treatise on parenting, I give it three stars and would recommend it, perhaps to someone who was just starting potty training.

After trying my own potty training techniques (that weren’t working) and researching many potty training methods, I found the Potty Boot Camp and knew this was the one for us. We potty trained our 22 month old and 3 year old at the same time over a 3 day weekend. We were amazed at the progress of our daughters over those couple of days and I have been recommending this book to everyone I know that will be potty training soon. It worked for us! The book is easy to read and we followed her techniques just as she had written them. I wasn’t planning to potty train my 22 month old at the same time as my 3 year old until I read this book. We are so glad we found this and it’s a great feeling to have both our daughter’s potty trained!

I was completely overwhelmed by the number of books on the market. I’d decided I was going to potty train my 2 year old daughter over a long weekend since I work a full time job. I had no idea how I was going to do this until I found The Potty Bootcamp. It was so easy to follow. It took me 45 minutes to read the book from beginning to end and 3 days later my daughter was wearing big girl underwear with no accidents!!
The first day was difficult for us because my daughter is very sensitive and was not happy about our new “diaper-free” situtaion. I e-mailed the author over Easter Weekend, and the very next day she responded with more helpful suggestions and lots of empathy. She gave me the confidence to stick with it, and sure enough, my daughter got over that hump and figured out that it’s better to go in the potty than on the floor. There is also a very comprehensive outline of what to do when you’re successful and what to do when you have a set back. I wouldn’t have had the courage or confidence to do it on my own. Just be aware that there will probably be some clean up and some tears as your child gives up the luxury of going whenever and wherever with a diaper, but the first time you hear “I DID IT!” come from your child after a success, you’ll know it was worth it!

I will start by saying that I did not follow the book to a T, but it provided the basis of structure and routine that I was not previously using in my PL efforts. I found the suggested rewards to be a little extravagant (i.e. a tricycle for self-initiating)–stickers and excited praise worked fine for us. She got a book on her first completely accident-free day. We had a few melt downs in the first couple days, which the book gave me the confidence to muster through. It was much easier on day 3, and by day 5, we had a good groove going. Three weeks later, my just turned two year old is pretty solidly potty trained–the pinnacle of which was a #2 on a public toilet today
This is not a “when they are ready” method–it’s a “when you are ready” technique–and as a cloth diaperer, I was ready to be down with laundry
I do not recommend this book for parents that can’t bare to see/have made their children cry (it isn’t called boot camp for nothing). I highly recommend this book for tougher love types.

If you are looking for a book that will tell you EXACTLY how to potty train your child, this is it! It really is no more complicated than following a cookbook recipe. I also appreciate the fact that the book is short- I’m a mom who does not have time (like most moms) to read a novel. We implemented the techniques over a three day weekend and had a child completely out of diapers by Monday. It worked like magic!
I also appreciate that the book is very ‘conversational’ – it’s not clinical, not preachy, and not written like she’s talking ‘down’ to you. The author right away makes you feel like she’s just another mom you met in your playgroup that’s simply passing along some helpful tips. Also, like some other books I read, you will NOT feel like a failure if your child is the one that isn’t cooperating.
I think you won’t regret your purchase.
