Oh Crap! Potty Training: Everything Modern Parents Need to Know to Do It Once and Do It Right

I do not know Jamie now have I ever met her in person, but I sure do feel like I do. This book was a life saver to get me ready and prepared for a successful potty training adventure... I trained my daughter at 30 months (1.5 years ago) and my son at 24 months (2 months ago) and have never needed to rely on diapers thereafter. They learnt their body so well and so quickly and are even self-initiating (even the little 2 year old after just 2 months) that we literally don't have to worry about them.Jamie is awesome, super funny and honestly so real.... she a conscious parent who is a realist and is always thinking from the child's perspective, empowering them to be their best selves and setting them up for success, while ensuring that the parents remain sane through the process ;) Her book is such an easy read, plus she has tons of resources online to help support. She also posts constantly on social media with tips, insights and advice and even does podcasts so that she can help and support with struggles as they occur.If you're starting to go down the path of potty training with your little.... do yourself a favour and get this book..... I would 100% recommend Jamie's philosophy, insights, teachings, videos, podcasts and book(s) - yes I have gone through them all, including the Oh Crap! Parenting / Toddler book as well and she has helped me so much with navigating through my daughter's threenager (and now fournager) mind & emotions. Thank you so much Jamie! You're a life saver!

What can I say, this book was very helpful and made everything seem easy.My little one got it straight away and it has been great!

Just Google rather, more info online.

The potty training went smoothly with the instructions from this book. I just think the author could be more direct to the point, he might get repetitive at times. Great though

I purchased this book because I wanted to tr port training my son who turned 2 year old in July. In france a child has to be port trained by 3 years old i order to be able to attend school. I have 13 nieces and nephews and I have seen my sisters almost tear their hairs out when it came to potty training their 3+ year olds. I felt like starting school is stressful enough so why not try to have him gain this essential skill earlier on? I also worked from home and had no plans to is summer so I thought this was a great time to do this. I didn’t know the author at all. Never read her blog, but the reviews seemed positive so I gave it a try. He didn’t know his ABCs but he did seem really interested in the toilet and would fight me when I tried to put on a diaper on him after his bath. He also had a dry diaper after his nap like 90% of the time. Despite all of this I was scared, but I was determined and like all big new steps on a motherhood journey I had to trust myself and also my child. Day 2 almost broke me as I was doing it all myself, there was pee everywhere all the time. He would get up RIGHT WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PEE. But I persevered and most importantly I called REINFORCEMENTS. So I was not the only one on what I called pee watch. My mother in law came to help for 1 week and she was just as gentle and determined with him as I was. And exactly what she said by day 3 the signs became clearer, he would firsr cross his legs get an uh oh look and the pee would come. By day 5 I would put him on the potty and he would go. We did it all at once, night training, nap training and it was the right decision for us. I followed all her instructions, going commando, reducing water intake as the day went on and it was messy. I even cried a couple of times but now we are on week 3 and he is 25 months old, asks to use the potty and most importantly I have seen his confidence grow significantly. I am so proud of him and so happy I used this book to potty train my son.
