"I can train your child in 3 days" claim on website (Potty Training) - TRUE / FALSE???

[SwissCheese]

Hello to all of us who fall into any of the categories of Potty Training! Past, present and future...
I've been surfing the web for a chart to give my DS some encouragement and the steps to take (I was originally looking for the well-known nappy brand that had a chart included in a trial pack that my DH threw out .
During my surfing I came across a couple of websites that claim any child can be potty trained in 3 days to keep dry / clean both day and night. One site was called webmommies and I wondered if anyone had heard of the system and if it was a scam or not. I am dubious of sending money to get an ebook to anyone esp if they are talking 'pants'!
I mean - if it was possible to train any child in three days, why aren't we all doing it?????!!!!

They say "Mummy, I don't think I want to wear nappies any more" and you say "OK, darling, here are some pants"

I'm not being flippant, honestly. I really think this is the best way. I think people give themselves all sorts of unnecessary stress over potty training. Both of mine were very late, but they got there. And I can honestly say there were no accidents that weren't my fault - doing daft things like carrying on chatting with a little person increasingly urgently tugging at my skirt for example (still feel guilty about that one!)

It's easy, you wait until they're four.

seeker - that is pretty much what happened with DD too. One day she woke up and asked for big girl pants, and that was it. Within 3 days she was dry in pants, out and about, no problems. She led the way - made for a much easier life all round.

agree with Seeker, dd1 said "mummy I want to wear knickers now" so she did and it was fine (it's the lazy approach to potty training, but it has worked each time with mine)- and has involved no stickers, star charts or chocolates.
