Potty Training in One Week - Gina Ford

Potty training is one of those inevitable events when you have children, sooner or later you have to do it. Christopher was my first child and I had no idea how to start potty training him. My mum was very old school in her approach and believed he should have started training at a year old, however he was a slow developer and wasn't even walking at that point, he certainly wasn't able to string together a sentence or tell me he needed to wee. So ...
...the control to be able potty train, their bladders just aren't strong enough, it also gives a list of signs to look out for such as the child being aware of when they need to go or are going, that their nappy is dry after the daytime nap, that they can identify parts of their body, that they are able to follow simple instructions and also be able to remove their own clothes. At 2 Christopher was able to do these things and so i knew the time was ...

Review of Potty Training in One Week - Gina Ford

...help when it comes to potty training. I have potty trained my first two children using this method. it did take slightly over a week in both cases (9 and 11 days) but that was probably due to my lack of commitment and the presence of a 4month old baby rather than a fault of the method. Gina Ford gives practical advice which obviously comes from a wealth of experience on the run up to potty training, when to start, rewards and above all the reassurance ...
...anyone who has had previous potty training problems. Between potty training my first and second child I gave this book away and then had to buy another one which I will make sure is still around for number 3. This book cost approximately £4.50 inc p&p from Amazon. If you buy it you will save much more than this in nappies and pull-ups in the first week alone. ...

Review of Potty Training in One Week - Gina Ford

A very readable and enjoyable book. The book contains a list of signs that a toddler is ready to be trained; a stage-by-stage process to follow; a number of case-studies; a section on how to deal with special cases like twins, or particularly stubborn children; and finally a comprehensive series of question and answers. The advice seems very sensible. If followed to the letter, I'm sure the suggested process may well work with most children within ...
...rigidly when there are other commitments. Also, most mothers would not feel comfortable having their toddler have an accident on the carpet of someone else's home: we just can't let it happen, so we resort to pull-ups (absolutely forbidden by Gina!). Nevertheless, a useful book. I tried to follow it with my first son, and indeed he was dry (more or less) by the end of the first week. However, he wasn't clean for quite a while longer. I am about ...
