My son is 4 years old, & is mentaly disabled, i have been trying to potty train him, but he will not use the toilet, he keeps using his pull-ups, i am expecting my third baby, he is the middle child, i really need to get him potty trained before the baby gets here which will be in december, does anyone have any advice ?

My daughter is almost 21 months and I am considering starting to potty train. When do you know if they are ready?? She hides when she goes, and knows where the potty is. But I don’t think she is able to tell when she actually has to go. When is the proper/average age to start? Any tips?

I babysit my 3 year old niece and have been trying to potty train her and my son at the same time. Next week she will be with her mom who I know won’t work with her. Do I keep trying or just wait and hope she does it on her own? I have her every other week, while her dad is fighting for full custody, but we are trying to get her trained in time for preschool next month.
My son is Autistic so potty training is very difficult he has good days and bad days, today has been a bad day. He has spent most of the day having fits and throwing himself on the floor or the couch.
My niece has had a very rough life, her mom has been into drugs and has been in and out and back in rehab. She doesn’t want her daughter but she doesn’t want daddy to have her either. Dad is very good with his daughter and has taken parenting classes and everything the courts have asked of him. The mom wants her parents to raise the child and thats not a good environment. Mom also doesn’t like me due to the fact that I kicked her out of my house because she was doing drugs and being abusive to dad and neglecting her daughter.

I know, another question about potty training… but here is my dilema. My daughter is 3 years old. We have been trying to potty train her SERIOUSLY for two weeks. She will hold her pee ALL DAY LONG. When I finally put a diaper on her for bed, she wets it in 30 minutes–I mean soaks it. We have tried the sticker sheets, going out buying a new potty and big girl undies, having her older sister sit on the potty and clap and go crazy. We’ve done the "sink the cheerio" game, the sit and drink water, sit and sing to get her mind off from it. We have done everything that I know how. I don’t get it, and I am really getting to the end of my rope. She wants to put on her panties, and she sits on the potty all day long. Has anyone else experienced this? Or any ideas of how we can help her? My oldest was so easy and was totally potty trained by this age. HELP!! Thanks.

We have twin boys,they are 3 and a half years old,one of them is already full train for a year, but with the other one we are still fighting to make him poop in the potty.We did try everything and now for already 2 weeks he is walking with not diapers all day and then of course we put him a diaper when he has to go to bed.We even bough the elmos potty DVD and the One upon a potty for boys DVD and he love it but it doesn’t help either…
He walk with no diaper all day and the potty is there where he is playing but he doesn’t do anything,he hold it all day until is time to go to go to bed and then he poops in the diaper…We are fighting with him for almost 2 years and we don’t know what to do anymore,we done everything and everything that even the pediatrician told us to do but he doesn’t want to do it.Any advice???
I make him seat in the potty all the time and he walks all day without a diaper and he would cry because he has to go so he will seat there for hrs but nothing,and his bother always says to him go potty go potty so we can go play or we can go eat ice-cream,because I promise to him that if he poop in the potty we will all go to eat ice-cream,until then no ice-cream
Thanks Jackie.I did try the reward technic many many time.

I’m 28 weeks pregnant with my second and I have a 2 1/2 year old, my husband and I have tried to keep her up to date with mommy being pregnant, we try to relate things that happen to the baby with her such as when baby could hear we told her baby can hear just like you he has 2 ears.
We took her to some of the OB visits with us to hear his heart and to see him on the ultrasound, she has been very smart with keeping up with it all but lately not that I am getting more far along and husband and I are trying to re-prep our house for a baby she’s been doing weird things.
She took her sheet off her bed and stuck it in the closet with the baby’s basket of things and said she didn’t want it on her bed because it was the baby’s but then she laid down in the closet with the baby blanket and said she was sleeping in the baby’s bed.
Sometimes when my husband and I put her panties on she says she wants a diaper then says "I’m the baby wah wah wah"
She has even gotten jealous when we try to tell her about the baby recently she runs up and clings on to my husband saying "that’s MY daddy!!" is this normal, and what kinds of things can I do to stop her from reverting back to bottles etc when the baby is born, it’s so unlike her to act out this way because she is usually so independent, off the pacifier before 6 months, on sippy cups before 1 year and already using big girl cups and was so eager to potty train.
A friend of ours told us if we ask her to be a big helper when the baby arrives and have her help us get diapers when we change the baby etc that it would keep her in a big sister mind set?

She’s 2 1/2 and she can’t stand being wet anymore. She cries and cries whenever she’s wet for me to change her "Damper" (diaper & pamper mixed together LOL) Anyway if I leav her in the diaper will it hel with tht potty training. I need to get her out of diapers already!! I know she’s ready because she hates diapers and just wants to wear her panties but she always pees in them still. I don’t even know how to being to potty train!!
I don’t mean all day!!!! Come on people!! I mean she comes running to me right after she pees once. I mean to leave her in it after a few times instead of just one pee!!
