• Kevin Orland
  Review: The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Toilet Training If you're looking for a systematic, step-by-step guide for how to potty train, this isn't it. The book has a lot of good pointers that supplement whatever system you're using, how to troubleshoot post-training accidents or regressions, but doesn't tell you how to do the actual training.
• Isabelle

• Lydia
  Review: The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Toilet Training Definitely promotes waiting till the kids makes the move almost to much of it being in the kid's hands IMO. But there were still some good points. Easy to read. Good section on bedwetting.
