Hi!

Never wrote before, ordered your e-book in March. I had originally thought about potty training by son in November/December 2006, but with a 10 day trip to London, thought not the best thing to start–being in a strange city and country, not knowing where potties are–decided to wait til we returned home in January. I mentioned to my son we needed to start potty training. He informed me he was not big enough and he wanted to wait til he was 3. (He was very verbal around 18 months). I heard what he said, caught a tad off guard, but agreed.

So ordered your book in March, he turned 3 in March and one day after his birthday, we did 3 day potty training. I will admit I did not follow your advice to the letter. I pulled what I needed/wanted and low and behold my son was potty trained in 3 days. Real underwear, real toilets, waking us up sometimes at 2a. or 5a. for help to tinkle.

I was estactic I discovered your e-book and was grateful I believed the ad I read which lead me to order your book. I am grateful I spent the money for this book, your method(s) versus waisting money on various books, pullups or padded underwear, little potties or other useless items.

So I must admit I was surprised when you are recommending Peter Potty for boys.

Personally I would not want some plastic thing in my bathrooms. We have a padded seat ring to make our big potties more his size for when he prefers or needs to sit. We also taught him to aim for the water at all times. Does he make it every time? No, but we also teach him to clean up after himself.
He loves being responsible, loves to help around the house, loves to be working on projects. So cleaning up around the toilet after he uses, is good and good for him.

I personally think anyone with boys should do the same. Someday they will have to leave the house–college, first apartments, etc. They should know how to cook, do laundry, pay bills and clean a bathroom.

So instead of paying $39.95 (on sale) for Peter Potty, show the big men and the little men in your life where the cleaning cloths are & have them contribute to the household chores. Someday they will appreciate it and so will the women in their lives.

Just my opinion. Again, I followed your advice and it worked wonderfully. We are done & trained.

I think if you stick with the advice you write, kids do not need any “seperate” potties/urnals.

Sincerely,
Adele

Hi Lora

I am not sure why the email was received blank on your end. Cyber error I guess. Anyway my original questions are irrelevant now.

Today I completed the three day potty training on my 26 month old son. I want to thank you so much for your help through your ebook. It was a hard and tiring 3 days especially the first day but my son definitely knows when he needs to go potty and he is able to tell me before he goes. He even has been waking up dry after bed time and nap time. He still needs lots of practice though because he sometimes pee without letting me know he has to go. He is also still holding his pee and especially his bowel movements until he has no choice but to let it go. He gets really scared when he has to make a bowel movement, he is scared to do it in the potty and he is scared to do it in his underwear. It is also difficult getting him to sit on the potty after a nap when I know he needs to go and also before nap. I will keep at it for the rest of the week because he has made tremendous improvement over the last three days.

I have to tell you that I am nervous to take him out to church and other public places without pull-ups. I am nervous that he will have an accident or he may tell me right before he needs to go and I will not have time to get him to the washroom. Are you sure that I can take him out in just underwear?? Maybe I should start praying now that it will indeed work

I will definitely refer friends to your site and although he is not totally comfortable with the change, I think I do have bragging rights. Thank you.

Hello, I bought your ebook and is so wonderful; I started Monday and finish Wednesday, it really worked.

I was very worried because my boy is 3 1/2, but is really good, no more pull ups!!

Thank you so much!

May God Bless You

Lora-

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I potty trained my daughter last week and she’s still doing great.

My daughter will be 3 this coming Monday and she’ a bit hard headed so I wasn’t sure if this would really work for her.

I took the day off of work on Friday to start and it was pretty hard, as you said it would be. By Saturday afternoon I couldn’t see how I wasn’t going to be able to use Pull-ups for her at day care. However, Sunday came and she didn’t have a single accident all day. I told my day care provided what I had done and all she needed to do to help. I think she was a bit sceptical herself. It’s now Friday, 5 days in day care, and she hasn’t had a single accident. My day care lady was so impressed.

You had some wonderful advise to give and I am very greatful for it.

I do have one question, I’m having some problem with bed time. I don’t give her anything to drink 2 hours before and she goes before bed. In the beginning I was getting her up at 6am to use the bathroom but the last 3 mornings she’s been wet. How do I help her to wake up when she has to go? Should I set my alarm every night and get her up at 3 or 4 in the morning? If so, will that ever pass?

Anyway, I thank you again.
Good luck to you in all your endevours and God Bless!!

We read your book at thought, well if doesn’t work what the hell we loss out on money. But if it does we will save time, frustration and money on diapers or pull ups. My daughter Yelena 2yrs 4 mons, was potty trained in 3 days. It “clicked” in 1 day. With a couple accidents. That is why I say 3 days. It has been 2 weeks now and no accidents since day 3. We just had another little girl she is 2 mons. We will defiantly be using this method with her and any other children we may have. We will tell our friends to check out your web site for sure. So thank you so very much for writing this book and to your husband for his support to you.
