 Potty train in a day? Get real. October 21, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Potty train in a day? Get real. It must be the rare child who can be truly potty trained in a day. My daughter potty trained on her own time, and no one else's. This book may contain some practical advice (unlike the harmful advice contained in Babywise), but I would not recommend this book to anyone especially taking into consideration Ezzo's sheer lack of credentials.

This book was disappointing from a well-know author. There was not new information, nothing thoughtful or "meaty", nothing that really helped us at all. Just a lot of repeated and totally common sense information presented in an uninteresting way. My wife didn't make it past page 10, but i finished it. Total waste of time.
 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! September 10, 2008
Wow, this totally works. We did it "the slow way" but just the approach of treating #1 amd #2 as two different skills, with the rewards for clean and dry. I can't say it any other way except that it TOTALLY WORKS.
 Dissapointing - Not Enough Actual Info February 15, 2008

I absolutely loved Ezzo's Baby Wise book... have used the method with both my boys with wonderful results. So when it came to potty training, I naturally gravitated to this book. However I have come away severely dissapointed.
The book appeared to me to be filled with a lot of fluff and repeating the same things over and over again. It appears to me that this book was just kind of thrown together and put out there to capitalize on the success of Baby Wise.
For example, a full 1/3rd of the book (starting on page 99 and following) has nothing what-so-ever to do with potty training. A large section of it is all about getting your household on a schedule. Which I'm sure is wonderful information, if that's what you're trying to do -- but I bought this book for potty training. Then the rest is about other products in the Ezzo line... followed by blank pages. It appears to me that this whole section has been added in an effort to "plump up" the book to make it look like it has more to say.
Only page 43-61 is actually about the how-to of potty training. They start by mentioning three potential methods... and then follow up by giving you the specifics of only one of those three. The method they state basically appears to be copying the "potty training in one day method using a doll" (such as the Potty Scotty method that's gained such recognition on the Dr. Phil show). If I had skimmed this book in an actual store, I would have quickly been able to see that it didn't have very much useful information at all.
(I do want to clarify that they don't mention the actual Potty Scotty doll... they suggest you can use a bear or Raggity Ann doll or a generic drink and wet doll.)
Again, I do highly recommend Baby Wise... just not this one.
Trained...in one day! January 30, 2008

I read this book a few months ago, and my son was not ready for potty-training. I skimmed it last night and realized that he was now showing signs of readiness. I decided that today was the day...we were going to potty train!
I love the EZZO series, and was thankful for the advice and guidance that Babywise provided when my son was a newborn. Now as a toddler, he is potty trained thanks to this book. I appreciate the author's suggestions and guidance - it all made sense to me. My son was thrilled to have his toy doll (my cabbage patch doll from my childhood) use the potty, get his reward, have a clean and dry diaper...etc..etc..etc...
It was a very long day ~ a huge commitment, to say the least. The bottom line is this: I followed the guidlines of this book today. My son peed 13X and pooped just after dinner. This was after an all-day event with his new potty seat and his new doll, Joseph. I will never forget how much fun, (and tiring) this day was...the REWARDS were huge, though. I know my son was very proud of himself and it just melted my heart to see him have such success with the potty. Thank you Mr. Ezzo. I have loved your books, and value your advice. Congrats to you and to us!
