Recently I've done a series of articles that focused on potty training. It began from my collecting various tips and tricks from moms I know and wanting to provide real advice from real moms.
It seemed to me that there are a ton of books available on the market about potty training dos and don'ts, but what a mom (at least this mom) really wants is for someone more tangible to say, "Hey, I've been there and done that, and here's what worked for my kiddo, and here's what didn't." Not some obscure expert writing a book.
From this idea came two Fun Friday pieces; one of which wasn't meant to have anything resembling a potty training or otherwise focus, but ended up touching on it within the piece. The other, came from the desire to share the sometimes humorous and honest truth about potty training.
I'll be rounding out all of our recent potty training information with an interview with a friend (and mother of five) who found great success in the pages of one of those potty training books I wasn't comfortable with. We'll basically be taking a look at the book from her perspective and how she put the advice into action. If you haven't already, but sure to subscribe to my Examiner.com column so you don't miss out on this interesting information. You can subscribe at the top or bottom of any of my articles.
Hopefully this piece will be coming our way soon.
