Title: Parenting at its worst
Product review: This book was just OK in that it gave few suggestions of tricks to help you along in the process of potty training. Instead, it was flooded with stories of parents who had horrible parenting practices, (such as scolding, shaming, and spanking their children into submitting to potty training.) One story even depicted a family that physically tied their child to the toilet!!! Granted, these examples were given to show what NOT to do, but I personally would never think of treating my child like that, anyway. Although it did emphasize the importance of social rewards, ("good job"), it could have left out the detailed section showing me how some parents give toys or lolipops when their child poops in the toilet! I was searching for a potty training book that had more concrete information, and one that assumed that I was already treating my child with utmost love and respect. Anyone have any suggestions???
