Desperately needs to be updated. I decided to be on top of the potty training thing(instead of woefully behind, like I was on the sleep thing). 3 stars for decent ideas. One star for incredibly outdated language. ( )

If you want to insult the intelligence and diminish the dignity of your child, by all means use this method. ( )

Azrin, Nathan H., and Richard M. Foxx. Toilet Training in Less Than a Day. 1974.
The only scientifically-tested rapid toilet training method, this one gets gimmicky in places but it seems plausible that it could work. It’s designed for children who have not started potty training at all, but even those like me who have been futzing around with it might find some useful ideas. It’s not necessarily less effort than the more common slow method—it just concentrates that effort, which many parents might prefer. Designed for children who are almost, or over, age two. ( )
