Potty Training in a Day.

I haven't tried it myself, but if my memory serves me, Dr. Phil had a show years ago about doing it in a day. He had some actor couple on with their toddler, and trained him in a day. Maybe he'd still have something on his website about it???

Hi, haven't tried it yet as my girl isn't ready but I found a book at the library and read it about potty training in a day and can't wait to try. Good luck!!

Sorry no advice on training in a day, but all good things take time. I think that you should potty train slowly.

We tried the potty training in a day thing with both of our kids(boy now 6, and girl 3 1/2), and I think it is too much pressure on the kids. Plus, mine were too smart for it. I found that trying to make them go ended up being parent training on the part of my kids. Kids have 2 things they can control, eating and going to the bathroom. If they don't want to, they won't. I tried bribing, sticker charts, you name it. My son really got into getting stickers and thus loved to go once he figured it out. My daughter on the other hand said she didn't need stickers or candy. We figured out that she just didn't like being in the bathroom yet. So, we brought her special little potty out into the living room (sounds gross, but worked). She would sit on it, watch cartoons and pee. We still celebrated and let her put Spongebob stickers on her chart in the bathroom. After a couple of days we didn't have to remind her to go, she would just do it on her own. The potty was then moved back into the bathroom, and in her own time she wanted to go on the big potty. It really is just about letting your kids do it when they are ready, and not forcing them, and figuring out what works for each kid. They then feel like they have the power, which is what they want. I think it just makes for too much stress in the house when parents try to make the kids use the potty when the parents think the kids are ready. There's nothing wrong with introducing them to the potty, but I think if you relax and let the kids ease into on their own (with lots of encouragement) potty training will go a lot smoother. Good luck!

Please make sure your child is ready. If a child is pushed too soon it will only create a resistance to being trained at all. Otherwise it can be a very successful way to do it!

Yes...I did it with my daughter who wans't quite two yet. It worked like a charm in my opinion, but not exactly like the book said it would. There were several wet panties, but she did potty train in a couple days for the most part. I have an expedition, so when we went somewhere I could put the potty chair on the floor. If she told me she needed to go, I would pull over and let her use her potty chair....I live 45 miles from the nearest "city" so going to the city is a LONG time for a child to wait to use a toilet. She NEVER went poo in her pants ever again, but had issues with remembering to go pee while playing outside for a while. I highly recommend this system and lots of candy. The neighbor girl who was three had a harder time, (we trained them together), so we decided to give them a "Potty Party" when they had made it two weeks with out wetting their panties....We took them to Chucky Cheese and had a princess party for the girls. It is all just a starting point and I believe the LOTS of fluids and candy leads them to having several chances to get candy and learn the ropes quickly.
