Hi my son is now 3 years old, I have been trying to potty train him for over 4 months now every single day. I am loosing my mind. I have tried the Little Potty’s, the potty conversion seats, and just the regular potty. I Ask him every 10 minutes between me and my wife "Do you have to go potty?" he responds "No". Well it will seen sometime moments after he told us "no". He will poop. We try to explain to him he is a big boy. He will Pee for us, but only if we ask. Not on his own. We even commend him if he poops or pees with a few jelly beans, and he loves them. We have even let him run around with no diaper because we know a diaper is a comfort for him. Well he begs us for a diaper and we dont give him, we will continue to ask him every 5-10 mins and nothing, well guess what I found poop on the floor, like a dog.. :’( this has been going on for 4 months. Our son is very smart, i dont understand his fear of the potty, the Baby potty or the seat you can place on the potty. We help him the best we can but he does not get it.. One time, he said "i gotta poop i gotta poop!" and we ran him in there and he did! and we made a huge deal of it! and got him a ice cream cone because we were so proud but.. nothing after that :’( any advice? this is one of the hardest thing we’ve ever had to accomplish.
THank you

How often during the day should I try putting my child on the potty? He doesn’t like the baby potty, he wants to go on the big potty with me holding him.

my granddaughter refuses to be potty trained, we bought her the nice decorative undies, we got rid of the diapers and pullups. We used a timer and took her in every 30 minutes then after 2 days every 20 minutes..she still went in her pants we have even taken her in with us when we go. She will even tell you she is yucky or poopy. (we know she doesn’t like the feeling). We have even tried putting her on the big potty (because she doesn’t want to use the "baby potty") but she still refuses to do anything in the potty. We are out of ideas can you help?

my son just turned 20 months, he has no interest in his baby potty seat… i sit him on it everytime i go to the bathroom, and he laughs and thinks its cute and a game.. i say things like "big girls and boys pee pee and poopie in the toliet, not in diapers, diapers are for babies.. you arent a baby, you are going to be 2 years old.. a big boy!" and while he looks at me while i talk, he is up and down from the potty chair and laughing.. I guess when they are truly ready to use the potty, they will do it correct? I just am afraid of him being like 5 and still wearing diapers or going in his underpants (I know that sounds silly, but its true.)

Also, he doesn’t talk a whole lot.. I’d say just this past month he really started talking a lot more than ever before… He understands everything you tell him or ask of him, but he doesn’t talk!.. he is getting better as the days go by, but a lot of toddlers his age are talking sentences and he is no where near that.. i this normal? help!

My 18 month old daughter is ready to start potty training. So far I’ve gotten her comfortable sitting on her baby potty. I even got her comfortable sitting on the grown up potty (with the little seat on it, so she doesn’t feel like she’s gonna fall in) so I’m probably not even gonna use the baby potty since she’s perfectly comfortable on the big one. Did anyone else just skip the toddler potty altogether as well? What was your experience with that?

She’s never actually used the bathroom in the potty. My goal was just to get her comfortable sitting on it. So what step should I take now? She pees about once an hour, so should I take her to the bathroom every hour? How long should I have her sit on the toilet for? This is my first time raising a toddler, so I’m still learning too =)

So back when my son was two years old I bought him a potty. He did not like it. He yelled and screamed every time I tried to take him near it. I thought maybe he was too young so I left it alone for a few months. When he was 2 1/2 he no longer even fit on the potty, my son is pretty big for his age. I gave up on the baby potty and tried training him to use our regular toilet. So far, nothing has worked. I’ve tried bribing. I’ve tried taking his diaper off and not putting it on. This did not work. He just cried for hours screaming for his diaper to be put on. Every time he sees a pair of underwear, he runs the other way. My husband takes him to the bathroom when he goes to show him what to do, but my son isn’t having it. I even bought him his very own Cars toilet seat add on (I thought he might be afraid of falling in) but that didn’t work either. I’m running out of ideas. He’s about to be 3 years old in less than a week and the doctor said I shouldn’t him force him or I’ll just make it worse. Any ideas that I haven’t mentioned that worked for you? Thanks in advance.

i am very determined that on my daughters 1st birthday and there for after its baby potty time because diapers are ridiculous and i also am a stay at home mom so i have time to work with her . can you all tell me when u started potty training ?
my friend was potty trained at one and my husbands grandmother potty trained all of her children when they could sit alone .

My son will be 2 in March and he still isn’t completely potty trained. I don’t want to rush it to the point where he resents the potty. What age did your baby potty train and what are some tips you can share to help things along. Thanks for answering : )

Help! My son is already three and I don’t know what to do about potty training. I’ve tried the Cheerio’s thing, where you put the cheerios inside the toilet and have him try to aim at them. The problem is he gets scared of being on the toilet ( have a small baby potty training toilet and a kids seat to put on top of the real toilet.) I’ve heard that having a male figure go inside with him is great, but I think the only real male in my household he can trust is my brother. (his father and I are divorced.) My brother is only 20 years old and I feel pretty embarrassed to ask him. What does he need to do? Go pee in front of my son? or just put him on the toilet? I’m so very new at this.. any advice and words of wisdom would help. Please no judgmental people telling me that my son is too old or anything.. I’m only human and doing the best I can.
I also wanted to add that I have a 1 year old daughter as well which is what’s making all this very difficult. He tells me that his little sister still goes in her diaper; I don’t think he realizes that she’s younger than he is and still is allowed to…
