Product Description

Potty Training is one day of the most challenging processes a parent faces. For some parents, this is a rewarding and memorable experience, while for others it can be a frustrating time. Potty Training in One Day : A Guide for Today's Parents walks parents through the entire potty process - from determining if their child is ready, to how to handle bowel movement training and bedwetting. It answers common questions such as:

* At what age should I start potty training? * How do I know if my child is ready to be potty trained? * What should I do? How should I potty train? * What does potty training in one day mean? * What about Bowel Movement Training? * What should I do if my child resists training? * How do I handle night time potty training and bed wetting?

and much more. My goal is to help parents prepare for this important developmental milestone and make it a positive and memorable experience for both

The Best One Day Training Book Out There! June 4, 2006
16 out of 21 found this review helpful

Narmin has captured the essence of the One Day Training Method and disseminated the information through an easy to follow style. I have trained four children using her proven techniques; all of them trained within a day! It was the most fun we had working as a team. After achieving success, my children exhibited confidence in other skills areas such as: dressing and feeding themselves; "I Do It!" was the theme of the day!

You will enjoy Narmin's fresh approach to the daunting task of potty training. She uses no negative, manipulative nor ambiguous methods. You will get straight forward steps outlined clearly, as well as some exciting ways to reach the understanding of your toddler. Breaking down the sequence of Potty Training is a learning experience for the parent before it can be shared with the child. By follwoing Narmin's techniques, you will be utilizing the same methods learning specialists have understood for decades!

I can't say enough about his book. You will succeed, if you follow Narmin's method.

Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Potty Training in One Day August 8, 2006
2 out of 9 found this review helpful

In one word -- excellent! I never knew so much information could go into a book on toilet training. How about, "Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Potty Training," as a sub title? Yet, Narmin Parpia shares the plethora of information in an easy to understand, step-by-step style, that guarantees success for anyone who follows her stellar advice.

Parpia shares her counsel and answers the hard questions -- not as some snake oil hustler, but as a concerned mother who successfully used the principles she outlines in Potty Training in One Day to successfully potty train her own two boys. She only wants to help parents prepare for this important developmental milestone.

Mothers (and fathers) of the world, rejoice! A short time from now, you too, can live in an accident-free world, if you follow the proven method found in Potty Training in One Day.

I found the book helpful and it gave me a place to start with potty training. I definitely did not follow all of the suggestions and did not do the walk to the potty 10 times after each accident, but I did use the "potty training a baby doll" suggestion. I feel that as a parent we need to have the tools/knowledge and then we can adapt the situation to fit our own child's needs and personality. I was able to fully potty train my 3 year old Daughter in 3 days using some of the suggestions found in the book.

Not a total answer October 20, 2006

While there are some good concepts in this book, it didn't work for us.

We went into house lockdown for nearly 30 hours before giving up on it. We used the entire sytem, the training pants, the doll (which is missing like a third of her hair across the top), the potty seat, the potty cover (the "convenient" loop for hanging it on a hook snapped off after less than a week of use). The potty pants did nothing to help, and required us following our kid around with a towel the entire time. You might as well not use them at all--and we washed them beforehand as advised. We did the treats, the stickers, the having Potty Patty pee in the pot (more often than not it ends up on your leg before you can get her pants off, and the bottle is hard to get in her mouth). Perhaps this book is meant for the older child, and not one who is under 2.5 years of age.

In the end, our kid ended up being more resistant to the potty whereas before she had been so-so with it. For some reason she relates to Potty Patty though--probably because she has a lot of accidents!

Think twice January 21, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Our oldest son is 32 months of age and had been showing some inconsistent interest in using the potty. Thinking he may have been ready to take the next step, we purchased this book along with the doll and training pants. He wanted nothing to do with the doll or the roll playing that is advised. And, although we believe in the idea of going from diapers to "big boy" underpants without pull-ups, the suggested response to an accident (which includes 10 back-and-forth runs to the potty and much misery to the parents and child) is pointless. Your child needs to connect the urge to void with using the potty. Simply going through the motions 10 times fails to accomplish this and makes for a decidedly uncozy environment. The book suggests that the intent of this exercise, in part, is to inconvenience the child, but we believe a wet pair of underwear and the embarrassment of failure are inconvenient enough. Endorsement from a television psychologist does not equal medical truth. Think twice before spending hard-earned money on this product.
