A really useful book - By: C. Wilson, 02 Dec 2008 
For me this is the best book I have come across on potty training. I used it for my son - & although I wouldn't say it was a joy training him - it was much easier than I expected. The most useful thing for me was the detailed readiness questionnaire. It considers both the readiness of the child - such as language skills, interest in the subject, independence & also of the parent & of the whole family - even including if the next few months were going to be particularly stressful & busy. It covers a huge range of potential issues & problem & what I particularly like is its additute. It emphasis that there are lots of techniques that you can try & which ones work just depends one where you & your child's personalities & situation.
A must for every parent - By: Om Aya and Essa, 12 Sep 2008 This is a necessity for every parent starting potty training for their toddles. It is very flexible because it gives the parent many options. I used it for my 2 year old daughter & I lent it to my sister to use it for her daughter too. The author stresses two main points which I always remember whenever my daughter makes accidents: patience & encouragement. This book can be used again & again for alll your children. I am saving it now for my newborn baby boy.
A great, great, book - buy it ! - By: Mrs. J. Ford, 16 Jul 2008 I bought this book before embarking on potty training my 2.5 year old daughter. I was encouraged by the customer review & thought I would go ahead & buy it - I was not disappointed.
Having read the Gina Ford book (Potty Training in One Week), I knew that approach was not for me - far too regimented & unrealistic & no FUN!
This book has a real common sense approach to training with lots of advice on pre-training, setting up, prize/reward systems, dealing with (inevitable) accidents, & follow-up advice once your child becomes independent.
I have read & re-read this book - it seems to have an answer for any problem which arises during the training period. I followed her advice & my little girl is now pretty independent after a couple of weeks of training - we've had accidents along the way but we are getting there.
The book advises a light-hearted, "let's make this fun" kind of approach which appealed to me and, more importantly, WORKED !!
Good Luck !
Best Potty Training Book Out There - By: Mom of Twins, 21 May 2007 Elizabeth Pantley's No Cry Potty Training Solution is one amazing book. She knows exactly what a parent needs to succeed in teaching their toddler to use the potty. I have twin boys & I never thought I would be able to get them to stop peeing on the floor & into a potty. Elizabeth's book helped me do that. The one thing that I like best about the book is that Elizabeth has real families telling their potty problems. Wow!!! I'm not alone, real people, real problems but with Elizabeth's help, a real solution. That is what I love about the No Cry Potty Training Solution. It is easy to follow & the quick reference guides are wonderful. Most importantly, Elizabeth eloquently describes that you don't have to follow a set standard on how or when you should potty train. She simply states that it is ok to follow your child's cues & do what works best for you & your family. Only you know your child best. I however, think that Elizabeth knows every child best. I recommend that if you are even thinking about potty training...look no further, run out & get this book right away. I promise you won't be able to put it down.
