I bought the Oh Crap book, and I'm planning to train my 20 month old starting this week. I feel like I must be missing something, I don't understand why the Oh Crap book is so popular. I feel like the author is intensely condescending. It's also super vague, especially when it comes to prompting (how to prompt, when to prompt, when to back off) and the "blocks." I get why she's not putting a set number of days, but she barely defines successful completion of a block and recognizing when to move to the next block.

Please give me any and all tips for how to successfully use this method (or an alternative preferred method) before I ditch diapers.
