About this ebook
From potty-training expert and social worker Jamie Glowacki, who’s already helped over half a million families successfully toilet train their preschoolers, comes a newly revised and updated guide that’s “straight-up, parent-tested, and funny to boot” (Amber Dusick, author of Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures).
Worried about potty training? Let Jamie Glowacki, potty-training expert, show you how it’s done. Her six-step, proven process to get your toddler out of diapers and onto the toilet has already worked for tens of thousands of kids and their parents.
Here’s the good news: your child is probably ready to be potty trained EARLIER than you think (ideally, between 20–30 months), and it can be done FASTER than you expect (most kids get the basics in a few days—but Jamie’s got you covered even if it takes a little longer). If you’ve ever said to yourself:
-How do I know if my kid is ready?
-Why won’t my child poop in the potty?
-How do I avoid “potty power struggles”?
-How can I get their daycare provider on board?
-My kid was doing so well—why is he regressing?
-And what about nighttime?!
Oh Crap! Potty Training can solve all of these (and other) common issues. This isn’t theory, you’re not bribing with candy, and there are no gimmicks. This is real-world, from-the-trenches potty training information—all the questions and all the answers you need to do it once and be done with diapers for good.

This program worked so well for our 26 month old boy. We did one day naked. He held his pee and poop all day until he finally went before bed. The next day we transitioned to pants without underwear. He quickly peed thru 4 pairs of pants. I pointed out to him that the wet feeling was pee on his pants. Around the second and third accident I could see that it was starting to click for him. After those 4 accidents he has been accident free for about a month! We still have not put underwear on him.

Read all kinds of conflicting advice out there, and our first attempt was a disaster. This book gave us the practical tools as well as the confidence to get it done! I also knew rewards were not the way to go, but didn't know what to do! Now we are a week in and doing awesome :D

This book changed everything. In one week, our daughter went from full-time diapers to taking herself to the potty. We even managed this with a newborn in the house! Such sensible, down-to-earth advice and guidance, not to mention an easy read for busy parents. Definitely recommend for anyone who needs encouragement and a how-to for helping a little one find success in using the potty.
