Potty Training Boys the Easy Way: Helping Your Son Learn Quickly-Even If He's a Late Starter Book

I did not find this book to be helpful at all. It seems to be full of anecdotal and questionable advice. For instance, not only does this book suggest you come up with a nickname for your son's *ahem* parts, they actually use the word "willy" throughout the book as the default name for male anatomy. Really?! I am also pretty certain that the whole "left brain vs. right brain" thing has been debunked, but the author (in one of the many sexist passages in the book) asserts that boys are harder to potty train because they utilize only one side of their brain, while girls, who are more creative and thus easier to potty train, have better communication between both sides of the brain. Speaking of sexist, the author also states that it's assumed that the book will be read and used by women- but that men are also welcome to participate (how generous).

Although some of the approaches provided might have been helpful if we were very early on in the process, I was really hoping for the "troubleshooting" I saw touted in reviews. The troubleshooting for our trouble was- not kidding- wait it out, he'll grow out of that eventually. I fell back on good old fashioned bribery and manipulation to get past the road bump instead.
