    I'm all for it, assuming you have the time to devote to it. Personally, I'd rather wait longer for the child to be trained and have to pay less attention to my child's every glance, breath and whimper, but I can see the appeal to people who go in for that sort of thing.

    To each her own...

    To me if I have to be the one figuring out when they have to go potty then I guess I would be training myself. Also with three very young kids, two in diapers I would be spending a lot of time in the potty.

    On the other hand I think it is nice to bond with your kids and if this helps you bond thats great.

    I do not know if I read the same book, but a major draw back I saw in the book I read, was what to do if your out in public. Like at the mall or a restaurant? I think the servers might have a problem with my naked poopy baby.

    If you try it. Let me know how it is working. I really am interested to see how the concept could work in todays culture.

    There is an essay called "When we were insane." about sensory knowledge and response versus structure in one's life. I can't find it anywhere online. Its about the tradeoff between working in natural environment and relying on cues versus the highly structured environment of today where we rely on programmed activities. Some people cannot get the hang of being programmed and are seen as being insane, but when placed in the wild, are able to fend for themselves vs the modern programmed person who would die very quickly in the wild. Just thinking aloud.

    Hello -

    If anyone is interested, I can tell you offline how we did a modified EC from about the time my DS could sit up.

    Much like homeschooling/afterschooling, etc., EC does not have to be an all or nothing thing.

    I know it EC is not for everyone but it worked pretty well for us...

    Austin sound like an interesting article. I have pondered that before. I will look for the article. Thanks for thinking out loud. I really enjoy hearing different peoples perspectives on things.
