Like many parents, I was overwhelmed and intimidated when embarking upon the toilet training process. Have you actually spent time surfing the web to find advice, books, and tips about potty training?” A search on Yahoo for the keywords “potty training” yields over two million results!

There were potty training books on Barnes and Noble. There were downloadable potty training books. There were “guaranteed” training programs costing upwards of $39.99! I found advice about why to train early, advice about why to train late, and advice that just did not make sense at all. I did not find what I was hoping to find. I was searching for an easy, cookbook-style, and short training program. I wanted something so concrete that I could even have a checklist or flow-chart to follow. Needless to say, I became pretty convinced that nothing like that existed.

I caved in and got out my credit card. I spent $19.99 on a “train in three days” system online. I spent another $25.00 on books on Amazon.com regarding toilet|potty training. A couple of days into my training efforts, I got stuck and needed evern more assistance, so I spent another $19.99. It seemed to me that there just had to be an easier and more straightforward way.

Finally, I was successful and my daughter was potty trained! It was exhausting work and I felt like I had actually conquered the challenge – but only after hours and hours and hours of research and frustration. My final training method was a combination of my own preparatory work, the “toilet training in a day” methods, the timer method, and the “Naked and $75″ method. It seemed like every one of the methods had a drawback of some kind.For example, the “Train in a Day” methods did no preliminary work – your toddleris supposed to discontinue diapers one day with absolutely no warning! I took the best and most sound tips from each potty training theory and combined them all together.

I trained my daughter at twenty months, which was earler than ninety percent of the other toddlers we ran into. At music class, gym class, and the park I was asked over and over again how I had trained my daughter at such an early age. I came to the realization that I should write it all down. I spent days and a too much of my own money to get this point. I wanted to be able to share my newfound “expertise” with other moms. Thus, “”The Potty Boot Camp” was written!

“The Potty Boot Camp” is a brief (15 page), to-the-point, step-by-step potty training method. Everything I learned over countless hours is condensed into a book that can be read in a quick naptime session. The Book includes a shopping list, a flow-chart, and easy to follow instruction manual. It breaks down the training process into what to do on a daily basis – one step at a time. In addition, The Potty Training Boot Camp will not bore you with a lot of theory – only practical and logical tips. Think – your child could be enlisted, trained, and diaper free forever!
