Review: Potty Training Answer Book

I got The Potty Training Answer Book to review a couple weeks ago. Since I have potty trained 8 kids, some of the stuff seemed pretty basic to me. But there was a lot of good information. I really liked the emphasis in the book on temperaments. In my experience the temperament of the...
