Testimonials

Buy this book! Worth every penny! I was super nervous to potty train our 3 year old boy after watching what other friends/family went through and seeing their outcomes. This book was such an easy ready, super encouraging and the methods actually work! He was potty trained by day 3! Will be recommending to everyone! 

This book does a wonderful job teaching the challenging, yet necessary task of potty training to young kids through an intuitive and natural method. As I was reading it, I had wished I had had it for my older children. It would have made potty training SO much easier (it took us an entire year for my first, not a few days). The author provides evidence-based teaching methods, helpful illustrations, and thorough explanations as the "why" behind her particular method. There are great tips and tricks to getting the job done, coupled with reminders about not to lose focus on the most important issues (which is the first thing gone over in the book) and why as parents we are trying hard to do a good job with this task (because we love our kids). It is practical advice given in a loving format.

As I finished the book, I couldn't help but reflect that although this is a book meant to help parents learn to potty train their children, it was also just good, step-by-step parenting advice on how to effectively teach your kids anything. I found I could apply the teaching principles presented in the here to other areas of parenting. A 2-for-1! Thank you! 

Training my 3rd kiddo and this is genius! I am reading through Beth's book to get ready to train my 3rd kiddo and I actually feel excitement! No joke! I love that her method has no potty chairs, no naked bums running around, and that I do not have to spend hours and hours waiting and entertaining my kiddo while they sit on the toilet (I have tried all of these methods and they're awful and made me and my kids cry a lot). Beth's book was inspirational (and also a fun read with lots of great pictures and charts). It really doesn't take long to read through. Anyway, Wish us luck! 

I love that this potty training book for parents focuses on training the parent to train the child. It makes toilet training make sense.

The charts, info and pictures simplify the process and take away the intimidation factor usually associated with toilet training. No stone left unturned in this book!

Also, no buying toilet seats, dealing with pull-ups or training underwear. Straight from diapers to toilet. 

Effective potty training made easy. This book transformed potty training for my child! In just a few days, my child was successfully using the toilet. The play-based teaching and modeling approach keeps kids engaged and motivated. The problem-solving steps are a game-changer, helping parents handle any issues. Comes with a supply list, readiness assessment, and charts. Highly recommend for stress-free potty training! 

In Depth! This book was so in depth with tons of images and charts to really exceeded my expectations in a book. The information was in depth and well researched. 

Potty training the easy way. Get your child potty trained quickly and without stress with this book. It can be quite a task, but it is made easy with this book coaching process. I am so thankful to have found this book and excited to tackle potty training with my child. I am confident that I am now equipped and ready for the challenge. What I like most about the book is its structured approach, evaluation of the child's readiness checklist, exclusive bathroom steps chart, problem-solving blueprint, practical advice for handling setbacks, and nighttime training. They truly want independence. You are just coaching them to reach their goal. 

Thank Goodness for this book. Gosh i really struggled with my eldest - i was 9 months pregnant trying to chase her around with the potty and it was a disaster and there was pee, poop and it was a living nightmare. I was frustrated and so was she. So i resulted back with the nappies. I wanted to get her dry before the new baby came. WELL. i got your book, let her run around in the nip and she got it in THREE DAYS. You're a bloody godsend. Many thanks. 

 Very helpful, well written book! This is a very well written guide on how to potty train your child the right way. The author uses common sense strategies that I didn’t think of. Tasking your child to keep their underwear clean, instead of just telling them to use the potty is brilliant! The charts and illustrations are also really helpful. I highly recommend this book! 

You would think that potty training a kid would be easy. But if you’ve ever tried transitioning a kid from diapers to undies, you learn the cold hard truth fast—you need to know what you’re doing.

I was curious when I picked up this book. I’ve worked with young people for years. Can potty training be taught just like any kind of skill? Yes and No.

The author does a brilliant job of breaking down the parts of this process, and it is indeed a process, all the steps that are involved in teaching your child how to use the toilet. They have to understand and be motivated to do it. They have to know how to do it. They have to practice the skill. Her suggestions are priceless, including the treats you should offer to let your child know they did a good job and to motivate them to continue to do it again and again.

But what’s most important is the attitude of the parents. Potty training is an emotional time for the parents. It requires patience and a certain realization. She suggests that the parents be the coaches, the helpful coaches who are there to praise and never humiliate, there to be helpful but in the sense that you want the child to become self-sufficient. Be clear on your goal.

I love the fact that she suggests modeling the process by using a giant teddy bear so the child can understand what is expected. She even includes a section that deals with how to overcome “reluctant learners”, kids who “backslide,” etc. In other words, she doesn’t expect the process will always go smoothly.

I like the illustrations. I like the can do attitude of this author. She has written a book that makes a lot of sense. If parents take the task seriously, their chances of success will be increased. 5 stars 

Initially we started with a different program. After a few days i realized I had some problems with the model we were using and it wasn’t quite working for my son. Out of desperation (and after recommendation from a friend)I got this book read it in one day (it’s a SUPER easy read). Because of this book… potty training has hands down been the easiest thing I’ve had to do in parenting so far. Here are just a few things I like.

1. I LOVE the format of this book. She explains the method clear and concise without too much fluff, which makes it a super easy read. She gives tons of great examples of what to say/do in different situations.

2. I love that there is no shaming or scare tactics used in this book. I read a few other books and felt shamed for waiting until my kid was almost 3 to potty train. I also felt the other books were too hands off and put alllll responsibility on the child, but they are kids… we should party with them when they do well, reward them, meet them where they are at and provide support. I felt like this book accomplishes that.

3. The charts! I didn’t realize how much of a visual learner my son was until I showed him the chart. He LOVES it. We hung them up next to all the potty’s in our house and in his play area. He points at the step that he is on as he goes and loves to review it all on his own.

4. I like that you really don’t need a potty chair. However I had already gotten one and my son loved it, so we started with the potty chair and the conveniently “lost” the potty after a few weeks. It made going to public restrooms etc less stressful because he knows how to go on a big potty no problem.

My son was completely potty trained (for the day- we decided to hold off on night training) within a week of starting this program. We had a set back after getting a stomach bug, but we were able to easily get back on track after about a week. 

A game changer in the realm of parenting literatrure. This book is not just a guide; it's a supportive companion that empowers parents to navigate this developmental milestone with confidence and success. 

I read this before potty training my oldest. It is a quick read that took me from "I have no clue what I'm doing and so intimidated" to having a framework and a plan. I especially loved the checklist of things to prepare (an extra mattress pad may seem obvious, for example, but I wouldn't have thought about anything other than getting underwear).

I also like how the author explains the "why" behind her methods, because it made it easier to adapt as needed for different kids with different needs and helped me be intentional in my own decisions.

I've now successfully trained my two oldest. It's still quite a ride that takes a lot of adjustment and patience, but this book gave me the courage and confidence to start.

I love that Beth teaches to spend time modeling and teaching the child first about how to use the potty, as it is a process with many steps the child will have to learn in order to complete. It makes so much sense! Other methods I have been taught do not include this step, and I’ve always thought it strange that the instructor is just expecting my child to intuitively know what to do when I wrestle them onto the toilet seat, and that they will supposedly learn when I reward them for going. But they never get the reward and never learn because they don’t know what to do once they’re on the toilet! It eventually turns into a battle and the experience isn’t fun at all for the child or the parent. Many problems we have with our children stem from our expectations being unrealistic for their developmental level. Beth gets it! She is so smart with her recommendations of how to teach a young child these concepts, and I’m looking forward to using her method. 

We have been struggling with potty training on again and off again. We were just done with it. Needed help, but didn't know what to do. Thought, hey, let's give this book a try. Easy peasy. Wish we had gotten it from the start for all my kids. 

With my oldest we tried the whole sit on the potty and wait thing and we just wasted our time. Now it’s time to work with our youngest and this book laid things out so logically. I literally took the teddy bear, put undies on it and showed my daughter the whole process just like the book said and after one time through, she started wanting to do it herself. We definitely still have a ways to go but I was so excited to see her wanting to try all the steps and doing some of them herself.

If you’re potty training right now, save yourself the headaches and the hours of sitting on the side of the tub and read this book! 

This book is a must-read for parents with little ones they need to potty train. The author provides concrete techniques and tools that are easy to follow. The bathroom chart is an exceptional idea with treats as an incentive to reward the child’s successes.

The idea to use play-based learning is very smart. I like the large teddy bear toy parents can use to demonstrate to the child on how to use the bathroom. The child gets to walk through the process by watching a parent help teddy pee or potty. Having the child involved in the steps on the chart to help the teddy bear pee or potty makes it a memorable game.

The use of quotes from child development psychologists gives the book professional credentials. However, the author’s experience as a mother who potty trained her own children, gives her parental credentials to share.

Finally, the author’s information was presented in a clear and concise way to help the reader remember the overall result is that you want your child to learn how to be responsible for their own hygiene needs. This book would make a great gift, too.
