  1. Entertaining, but not very instructional
    My son loves this book, so I can't really give it a "bad" review. He loves the illustrations (especially the one where Henry has had an accident on the floor). But I wish that it was a little more 'instructional' for him. The book never discusses some really important elements of potty...
  2. pleasant, but not all that helpful
    This is a cheery poem about a boy named Henry who is learning to use the toilet. He uses a separate potty seat rather than a toilet insert, and the book uses the terms pee and poop. There were a couple of things I didn't like about the book -- in one picture Henry is brushing his teeth and has...

Potty training a boy.?

My son will be 3 in June and we tried to potty training to him, but I think it's just not ready, but annoyed by the fact that there will be three and still in diapers!

Davi - The potty book (for boys)



I brought my kids to Occupy LA

“I don’t want to get arrested,” my 7-year-old, Murphy, said as I slung our sleeping bags into the hallway. It was already 4 in the afternoon and I wanted to get down to Occupy Los Angeles and pitch our tent before sundown.

“They’re not arresting people in Los Angeles,” his brother, Spencer, said. Four years older than Murphy, Spencer has been driving his little brother wild by correcting everything he says.

I sunk into a dining room chair, pulling Murphy close so I could eyeball him. “Here’s the deal, kiddo. We’re not going to do anything that will get us arrested. If it looks like anything like that is going on, we’ll get back in the car and come home. OK?”

My mother-in-law, who had been sitting at the end of the dining room table, looked up from her book. “And I’ll be right here, if you come home.” I looked at her and felt a prickle of irritation at the base of my neck. She’d been staying with us for over a month. Why not occupy L.A. while my mother-in-law was occupying our living room?

Children Friendly Books » My Potty Reward Stickers for Boys: 126 ...

I have been talking about going to the potty with my son since he turned 2 (he is now 2.5). We read books about it, bought a potty, etc. I bought this sticker chart on a whim and happened to take it out last night to show to him and BOOM! It just clicked. He desperately wanted to put a sticker on one of the circles. 10 pees on the potty and 10 stickers later I am writing this review. The chart was an excellent motivator for him and has really kick-starting our potty training process. Thank you for such a great product!

It's Potty Training Time!

Once your child seems ready and you've introduced the potty, now what? The advice from experts varies. Some suggest having the child sit on the potty fully clothed at first, talk about the potty and how it is used. Perhaps read a book while the child

Genius! Why did nobody ever think of it before? I'm sure my little Gary would love it. He could make friends and learn how to use the potty at the same time. Alas, it turned out only to be the title of a book. Pity. I had been mentally packing his
Moms Talk: Potty Training in Time for Preschool

We bought one of our boys a "talking potty" that sings a song whenever a sensor feels that something goes into it, or you could get a book/video about going to the potty (ie "Once Upon A Potty: For Her"). And I know this is kind of hard to fathom,

Their overused escape route is wildly inappropriate behavior and potty-mouths. That an irresponsible Mitch would demean women and endanger children's lives is perhaps understandable. But that Ivy League grad and top lawyer Dave would emulate his
