The Potty Boot Camp - Basic Training for Toddlers
By Suzanne Riffel

Like many parents, I was overwhelmed and intimidated when embarking upon the toilet training process. Have you actually spent time surfing the web to find advice, books, and tips about potty training? A search on Google for the keywords "potty training" yields over two million results!

I found so many options - from books that are hundreds of pages long to online training programs that cost $39.99. I found advice about why to train early, advice about why to train late, and advice that just did not make sense at all. I did not find what I was looking for. I was searching for a step-by-step, no-nonsense, brief, and to-the-point training program. I wanted something so concrete that I could even have a checklist or flow-chart to follow. Needless to say, I became pretty convinced that nothing like that existed.

My next step was to go ahead and invest in some of the products I mentioned above. I spent $19.99 on a "train in three days" system online. I spent another $25.00 on books on Amazon.com regarding toilet training. After I started training and realized I needed even more advice, I spent another $19.99! It seemed to me that there just had to be an easier and more straightforward way

Finally, I was successful and my daughter was potty trained! It was hard work and I felt like I had actually figured it out - but only after hours and hours and hours of research and frustration. My final training method was a combination of my own preparatory work, the "toilet training in a day" methods, the timer method, and the "Naked and $75" method. For each of the programs, I found something I liked and something I did not. For example, the "Train in a Day" methods did no preliminary work - your child is supposed to just give up diapers one day with absolutely no warning! I took the best and most logical advice from each potty training theory and combined them all together.

My daughter was young when I trained her - only 20 months old. At music class, gym class, and the playground I was asked over and over again how I had trained my daughter at such an early age. It finally dawned on me that I should write it all down. I spent hours of my time and a lot of my own money to get this point. It really would be a waste if I could not share my new found "expertise" with other parents. Thus, "The Potty Boot Camp" was born!

"The Potty Boot Camp" is a brief (15 page), to-the-point, step-by-step potty training method. Much of what I learned is summarized in a book that is easily readable during nap time. It includes a shopping list, a flow-chart, and easy to follow instruction manual. It breaks down the training process into what to do on a daily basis - one step at a time. In addition, The Potty Boot Camp will not bore you with a lot of theory - only practical and logical advice. Think - your child could be enlisted, trained, and diaper free forever!
