Potty training

[tiny_me]

My son is 3 an a half and im trying to get him to the toilet, but nothing is helping, he refuses to wear a nappy, so i've started letting him wear underwear, the whole day i go with him to the toilet so he doesn't mess the underwear, an it's not like he doesn't know when he wants to go, cos if he wants to go, he comes to ask me to put his nappy on, as soon as he's done he makes me take the nappy off, can anyone tell me wht to do or give some advice.

thanks

According to Experts/periatricians the Best Age to potty train is between 2 and 3.... after 3 the majority of kids make a fuss, and dont want to. They are very self aware of what they want. I think bargaining with him might work. Perhaps a few m&ms every time he makes it to the potty might work. My two yr old is potty trained. (just turned two may 23) She has seen the potty, sat on it, been around it for half a yr. And she was trained within a wk. I never forced her into it. She is old enough to understand an explaination as to why we use the potty, of course it took time and patience from my part but for the majority it was my childs choice, she took to it very well, on the third day we didnt have any more accidents.

I have TWO 3yr olds I am working with, my son has really caught on- but still hasnt went a whole day with out an accident. My step daughter how every will hold it all day long and then randomly go at night or really really early when no one is around.. I have tried treats, snacks, stickers you name it... trying to potty train two has been a nightmare. Eespecially since they are not twins- it is so different between boys and girls too.

I am hoping soon we can get at least 1 or both out of diapers before this baby is here!!

With my friends child the aiming for the cheerio thing worked when he refused to be potty trained. For my daughter I do the "you can have a piece of candy if you use the potty" and after a while it just clicked. At first I would give her an m&m even if she sat on the toilet and tried to go but every time she goes she gets an actual candy.

I have the same problem with my 3 year old... I have tried about everything and since we moved into our new house (last week) I am trying to get him used to his new surroundings but one of the girls on here shared with me about naked potty training. My little guy hates to be wet so even when he wears underwear he freaks out when he gets wet... The nakedness consists of letting them running around in the buff and is supposed to give them a better idea of when to go. I also bought a book about potty training in one day so I will let you know how that turns out =)

I put Cheerios in the potty and had him aim at them - some stores sell little sponge animals .. it makes it a game - and if he stayed dry all day he got a sticker... also I let him wear his underwear all day in front of his friends - he had one accident.... did not happen again - even that little embarassment can be a good source of motivation.

We did prize buckets for our little boy and after about a week...it finally set in. We had separate prize buckets for #1 and #2; went to the dollar tree and filled both buckets with all kind of things that were interesting to him. We would only let him get a prize if he went on the toilet...Hope this helps!

The nappy fairy took my brothers Day time nappys away.... And gave them to other boys and girls who need them cause he's a big boy now... and hopefully sooon the nappy fairy will take away his night time nappies... But tbh, i think its WAY tooo hot for a little one to go without drink at night.. and I feel relly worried for my brother..

Try the Nappy fairy??
