Review: Basic but very helpful toilet training book

Here's a topic every parent must know. This book is pretty basic, but has everything you need to know to quickly and painlessly potty train your child. I had to potty train our first child and now that the 2nd is nearly there I thought it would be good for a refresher course.Each child learns at their own pace, and potty training is no different. The number one thing to keep in mind is persistence, and of course a ton of patience. Accidents will happen and as the book points out, you don't want to punish your child for that. It's better to say something like "you'll do better next time", and keep it light hearted. Yeah, sometimes easier said than done (been there done that!:)One chapter discusses training in 2 days- really? I'm not too sure about that and will have to give it a try. We did something like that for our first, but didn't use a timer. But again, being consistent and persistent will pay off. I've also observed that kids who are around other kids, like in a daycare, tend to pick it up faster.Overall a nicely done book that can help any new parent toilet train their little one.
