Have You Tried the 3-Day Potty Training by Lora Jensen?

I am looking at this online as well.
Does it say that you have to be home for the entire thing? is that why you're waiting until Memorial Day?
My child doesn't go to day care and is with either me or my DH every day, because we both can work from home, so we trade off. Is it going to work if I am not here for the entire 3 days?

One thing I don't understand from the posts is that it's a "LONG process", but "clicks fast" with the kid?

Soon I'll be potty training my son. My cousin potty trained her two boys using he book "Potty Training in Less Than A Day" by Nathan Azrin http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671693808/ref=ord_cart_...
She (my cousin) mentioned that it's a very dedicated day. You spend a lot of time loading the kiddo up with liquids and having them sit on the potty.

So if the three-day thing doesn't work, you could try the one day! Good luck.

I did this with my daughter at 25 months, and know at least 10 others who've done it with their kids in past couple years. All of us had great success. Of course don't think that this means your son will never have an accident or things of that nature. It's a long process. But it definitely made it click for her so fast. I also really liked that you get answers to your questions really quickly. It might take longer since your son is older (it says that in the book), but I really liked it and thing it's definitely worth a shot!

Good Luck!

I actually was going to try this training with my then 3yr 1 month old after having no luck with what I was doing. He had no interest in going to the bathroom in the toilet. So instead of pushing the situation, I stopped talking to him about it for about 2 weeks. Then I started mentioning to him that I was going to buy him underwear and asked what kind he wanted, then I brought them home and Buzz Lightyear pullups (yes I did use pullups and it did NOT affect his training). What did it for him was he was standing in the bath tub and I caught him standing up peeing in the tub the way he should pee in the toilet, so I immediately took him and said, oh that is such a good job that is how you should go pee pee in the toilet and took him over there. He was so happy that I was excited and praising him, even though it wasn't in the toilet that time, he stood up to pee.
So I decided to stay home on a Friday and work with him, I actually bought him Buzz Lightyear Pullups for training, he loved them. The first thing that Friday morning when he woke up I asked, do you have to go potty, and he actually said yes, and went in the toilet. From then on, he has been going Pee and Poop in the toilet. (Trained in one day) I did not throw out the pullups as they did not affect the way i trained my son. He loved them, and didn't want to wear diapers anymore, he has only had maybe 2 accidents in a month now. He wore the pullups for the first week, now he is in underwear during the day and I still put Pullups on him at night, even though he hasn't had any accidents. I never forced him to go potty, everything was always positive, and praise, getting excited every time he went and then he was happy also. I never disciplined or forced him. Every child is obviously different, we tried for several weeks, cheerios, watching daddy etc, and finally I told him he will get a big present when he goes potty in the toilet. This was after we stopped talking about it for 2 weeks. I kept telling him that and he went and he got a big present. Try to stop talking about it for a week or 2 (as maybe he feels a little pressure, at 3 1/2 they want to do what they want to do not what we want :) ) and come back and ask him what kind of underwear he wants to wear and that he will get a special prize/present when he does go. I didn't end up needing to follow the Training by Lora Jensen because he did it so quick.
Good luck with your training :)

ummmmmmmm, anxious to see answers !!!!!!!!!

I can tell you after having two kids and talking to other parents that it's luck of the draw how potty training will go. Some kids train in a day, other take a year or more. We tried a one-day training program with our oldest and it just plain didn't work. He finally potty trained when he was 3 1/2, but had accidents until he was six. He could care less about potty training at all. Our daughter decided at 2 1/2 she wanted to wear panties. We just went along with her wishes and she trained quickly and has no accidents. We gave simple praise, but none of the games we tried before.

My best advice is to skip potty parties, Cheerios in the bowl, and all of the games. We did all this and it's just a source of laughter for us as to what we did as first-time parents years ago. Just put your child in underwear, stock up on cleaning supplies and rags for all of the cleanups, and stockpile some patience. Your child won't train in diapers or pull-ups, but when you move to underwear at the right time, that's the key. It can be messy, but the move to underwear will eventually work.

Good luck!

Look at this link. It helped me a lot!

I agree that putting them in underwear is the best way to go. It took my son about a week to be nearly accident free and another week to poop on the toilet. We used Pull ups at night ("night-night pants") never during the day so he didn't associate it with a diaper.

short term training only works if followed by consistency. no i don't believe in the one or 3 day methods.
