Any book is as good as any other if it works for each individual child.<br /><br />I have had most success with Dr Phil's method. Perhaps because I could watch the video of how to do it. But, I think it might be because I approached the child with more enthusiasm when I tried using Dr Phil's approach. Also I used it on the 5th child so I probably was more relaxed.<br /><br />Extended family members would tell me what to do, but I typically do whatever my Mom Boss or Dad Boss want me to do. <br /><br />Potty training is a huge part of development and best advice is to be patient and have fun with it. Yelling, punishing, getting frustrated slows down the development. Why would anyone use potty if they were to be scolded?<br /><br />Sandy G.<br />21 Years Experience<br />Professional Nanny<br />Household Manager<br />Darien CTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-86902429986421545472009-11-19T14:10:22.337-05:002009-11-19T14:10:22.337-05:00Yes this method of parties and the first methods d...Yes this method of parties and the first methods described earlier in the week work the best.

I like the tips you incuded from from Sears, Spock, child orientated and Dr Phil. All encourage enthusiasm and make it fun.<br /><br />Best thing I heard Dr Phil say was that you need to motivate the child to use potty or why do it? It is much easier to sit back and let mommy or adult do all the work of changing, wiping, cleaning, discarding diapers. So easy for the child. Going potty requires a lot more work for the child. So, encourage him any way you can!!<br /><br />Yes, using the potty party and potty dolly worked great for me and my charges!<br /><br />Melanie MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-773373869463725905.post-79427268332977269152009-11-19T08:48:33.940-05:002009-11-19T08:48:33.940-05:00This absolutely works!

We kept giving her water and letting dolly go pee pee in real toilet.<br /><br />Then I asked, "You want to try?"<br /><br />She did and that was it for pee pee! Then on she wanted to go pee pee on the potty!!<br /><br />It works great!<br /><br />Sarah's Nanny in NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
