Potty Train

Does it bother him if he wets himself? When I started training I took the nappy off and never put it back on (just at night). If he started to wee he would notice and want to do something about it, so I offered him the potty. Another option might be to just go straight to the big toilet. Some kids love doing ‘adult’ things. We quickly moved from the potty to the big toilet (with a little step so he can climb up there himself)

When u go to toilet, ask him to sit on his potty seat. Do it couple of times. Use stickers to buy more time. I m doing it as well. It will happen just be consistent and keep trying

I had to bribe my two boys. Took me two weeks to potty train them. I used candy and toys. It was expensive, but worked.

I’m here for the same question. My son just turned three. He will pee in the potty anytime but he just won’t do it ALL the tjme. He will pee himself without a care if you’re not paying attention or he is playing and he refuses to poop in the potty. I will say tho, I think the little potty chairs are a waste of money. You teach them to sit on that and then you still have to teach them to sit on end big potty.

When my boys would have accidents, I didn’t charge them right away. Eventually they didn’t like sitting in their own pee and poop and started going in their little Toliet.

We waited until our son was ready, he was 3 in May and just under 2 weeks ago he woke up one morning and said mummy I want my pants not my nappy today. So we went from there. He had 4 accidents on day 1, all in the morning, 2 on day 2 and 2 on day 3, we’ve been good since then. We have a little seat that goes on the big toilet seat so he sits on that.

My son will be 3 in November and constantly takes his pull up off because he doesn’t like the feeling of a full diaper. When I sit him on the toilet, he does nothing, no matter how long he’s on it. AS SOON AS I get him up and put on his pull up, he poops or pees immediately 😩 it’s soooo hard and definitely not for the weak. My son is also autistic and non verbal, so there’s the challenge, not being able to let me know when you actually need to potty.

I trained at 2yrs2m but he didn’t sit on the potty for wees I trained him standing up 😂 only sits for poos. That worked for us. There’s a pee potty you can buy for like $20, hangs on the side of the toilet and trains them standing up

Btw everyone keeps telling me (pediatrician, MIHP) to just wait until he’s ready and take the pressure off of potty training. When they can hold it and tell you they need to go is when they’ll do it.

My boy stopped having accidents when we started telling him what a big boy and how proud we were if him. If we made a big show of it the joy on his face motivated him. Every kid is motivated different whether it's a toy, a treat, words of encouragement, etc. just need to find something that works for him

@Tay on everything this is my son

@Tay hey, I don't know if this will help your lil guy but my brother struggled with his eldest similarly, he wouldn't go potty all day in nursery then get home and literally go put on a diaper by himself and then go in that 🙈 It was one of the nursery workers suggestion when they became aware of what he was doing to get him to use the toilet while in nursery they got him to hold a load of toilet paper against himself while he was sitting on it, somehow the feeling of that was comforting to him and helped him learn to use the toilet by himself, gradually reducing the amount of paper etc. Just a thought incase you wanted to try this, they said some kids don't like feeling exposed and want the privacy of paper/diaper against themselves 🩵
