Book Reviews of The Potty Book - For Boys
Book Review: the potty book for mitchell
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book after in the first book store that I looked in for 'toilet training' books. I wanted a book for my son to read, not one on actual techniques for the parents. My son has now succussfully been toilet trained. The 'number 2s' was the hardest part, with my son moving around or sleeping so that he wouldn't feel the need. So I encouraged him to use the potty and he places a star sticker in the front on his 'potty book' every time he does 'number 2s' succussfully. Now there is no issue when he comes to doing 'number 2s'.Book Review: The Power of Association Worked!
Summary: 5 Stars
I must have bought no fewer than a half dozen toilet training books and videos, but this one hands down made the biggest impression. Once my son was ready to train, he constantly compared his success to that of the book's hero, Henry, and we when too had success, you can bet we went out and bought that very special first pair of underwear, just like You Know Who. Even now, 6 mos. after successful completion of training, I still get requests for Henry. For technique, I recommend Dr John Rosemond; for mentoring, Henry.Book Review: Not a book for single moms
Summary: 3 Stars
This book shows a boy (Henry) starting out in diapers, then acquiring new independent skills, like brushing his own teeth and choosing his own clothes. Then he gets a potty from Mommy and Daddy. The book goes on to document Henry learning to use his potty, complete with input from Mom and Dad. This is all well and good if you have a Mommy and Daddy household, but leaves out those of us with other family structures. No ethnic diversity in this story, either. The nuclear family featured is definitely Anglo.Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my 2 year old son, in hopes of getting him interested in potty training. Within a few days of reading it to him every night, he had the whole thing memorized! He tells me that if he goes pee pee and poo poo on the potty, he won't have to wear diapers anymore so he's really starting to grasp the concept. Unfortunately, he has yet to actually go on the potty but this book really seemed to increase his understanding of the subject and willingness to sit on the potty and try.Book Review: Potty Training
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a great way to help children learn how to potty train. The child in the book serves as an example for the children, and makes it believable that other children also potty train. It is much easier for a child to relate to another child, rather than an adult. Also, having a book for boys, and a separate one for girls, is helpful for children to relate to their own gender's distinct functions. The wording of the book is simple and straight to the point, although it is a bit lenghty.
