Review: It works!! - I implemented this method with my 23.5 month old son after he had started using the potty on his own. He used it mostly for #2, but still urinated in his diaper most of the time and showed no initiative to go on his own. I thought it was time so I blocked 3 days where I planned to stay home. I knew he was familiar with the potty, comfortable with it and I felt he was ready (he had been using it here and there for about 3 weeks). We had shopped for underwear earlier in the week and I had snacks in hand. Saturday morning we got up and we made a big deal about the underwear and the "friend" he would train with (doll). I admit I wasn't sold on the idea of the doll but it was key because it removed so much pressure from my son. Day 1 we had a 50% success rate and I started to doubt the method, but I thought if I'm going to try it I will try it for at least 3 days. My son didn't seem to get the concept of "are you dry?" and he seemed annoyed at my constant questioning. He couldn't even be lured with treats. He would ignore me or say "no!" even though he actually was dry... Day 2 was a new day so with renewed motivation I did the same thing - doll, sippy, is your "friend" dry?, does your "friend" need to pee? etc... I offered incentives for being dry and offered incentives for actually going in the potty. By the end of day 2 he was showing initiative and asking to sit on the potty. He had a dry diaper at nap and only had one accident all day right before bedtime. Day 3 was it... Woke up, same routine again but now when I asked him why he got treats he would tell me it's because he was dry and he would "pat" himself to show me. The emphasis was no longer on actually going in the potty, but on staying dry in between (the why behind the how). He had only one accident that day when he first woke up in the morning but again had a dry diaper at naptime. The rest of the day was perfect and by day 4 he was accustomed to asking every time he had to go and we haven't looked back since. I believe night training will be soon too, since he's already waking up on his own to use the potty. I can't recommend this book enough but it does take discipline from the parents to stick with it for a few days in a row!!! Review: From Baby Wise to Teen Wise...a great collection - We started out with the Baby Wise book recommended by our pediatrician because our 8 month old was not sleeping through the night. We had great success using the information from the book and our daughter is now sleeping 10-12 hours without nursing or waking us up. So, I decided to buy the other books by this author. Potty Wise is helping me potty train my 3 year old that regressed when we brought our baby home from the hospital and Baby Wise II and PreToddler Wise are helping me not only with my growing baby but also with some things I missed along the journey with my 3 year old. These are great books for basic guidelines and applicable principals. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #392,123 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #109 in Babysitting, Day Care & Child Care #117 in Single Parenting #179 in Children's Toilet Training Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 198 Reviews | ## Images ![On Becoming Pottywise for Toddlers: A Developmental Readiness Approach to Potty Training - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cHVvw6COL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works!! *by M***A on May 1, 2013* I implemented this method with my 23.5 month old son after he had started using the potty on his own.

I would recommend it to my friends with toddlers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/4236028-on-becoming-pottywise-for-toddlers-a-developmental-readiness-approach-to](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/4236028-on-becoming-pottywise-for-toddlers-a-developmental-readiness-approach-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-11-14*
