This book was short, which I appreciated very much. It could, however, have been much shorter with the amount of repetition it contained. She appears to have copied verbatim the chapters for different ages and just changed some details here and there. Some of the material in those chapters was also included in the final chapter. I admit that I have a very low tolerance for anything that wastes my time, but I think this could have been edited much more liberally.
It definitely had a few good ideas. It mostly followed the mainstream thought (despite the title); it just skipped the long checklists. It included far too many instances of "never" and "always" for my comfort. I like the premise: that you can start training before the child is able to verbally tell you she wants to use the toilet.
Worth reading. This is enough of a departure from current thought to be considered a "new idea," whereas it is not so deviant as to stop it from being widely accepted.
