Potty Training - Winter Park,FL

I have read boys potty train later. Mine was 3 when we did it. I put cherios in to potty and told him to sink them he had some problomes with rembering to pee. I really think boys do it in there own time. but try cherios.

That is ok that he is just having fun right now.if you take him when you goes he will know that he is not to play with the tissue andsoap but he is just liking the fun time he is having in the restroom.and he will get it just give him time and don't feel bad about it.you have your hands full right.

Have you tried using a potty ring on the big toilet and then giving him a few minutes alone to "do his business"? Often times my son will play when I'm in there and then he'll go if I step out. Also a verbal cue works wonders. When I started with infant potty learning with my son (at 7 mos.) I would hum when he went in the potty. Now he will go if we hum and he hums when he goes as well. Try a yahoo search on elimination communication. Frequent trips to the potty timed right will help reinforce patterns that you're looking for (like potty after eating or sleeping). Good luck!

Well I'm currently potty training my daughter, and I would suggest giving him treats. Start paying attention to every time he uses his pull ups or diaper. Later start sitting him on the potty, and every time he uses the potty give him a treat. Eventually he will want to go to the potty, and use it. If that doesn't work, I would suggest getting him one of the potty's that play music every time he use it. It's a process, but he will get it! God Bless!

I am potty training a 2 year old myself. I have 3 children and she is the youngest. The other 2 are 10 and 14 and they were very easy to potty train. This one is quite a challenge. I find that taking her to the potty on a schedule helps and also, she likes to go when I go. So her potty chair is in the bathroom and we go together alot. She seems to like that and sometimes when she has to go she will tell me and then take me and put me on the potty also. I sit there whether I have to go or not and she usually goes. Every child is so different. I found that I had to find a way to connect the potty idea for that individual. Each of my kids potty trained differently.

A.,

I have the same type of child, walked at 8 months, talked at 10 months, drives us all crazy with his thirst for knowledge. Anyway, I just told him one day that I was out of diapers and put him in the training pants, within 24 hours he had the hang of it. Going poo poo was another issue, often times he would confuse farting with going poo poo, after doing it consistently for 2 weeks, no problems, now he want to go by himself and close the door like Daddy does, he is 28 months old.

I did do diapers at night for about a month and he woke up dry every day, so we eventually did away with those as well, what a blessing to only have one in diapers!

Good luck!!

I also have an awseome, talented two year old. He is potty trained. What I did I checked out the "Once upon a Potty" Video from the library. I also got books to read to him about going to the potty. And lastly I would take off his diaper during the day. He didnt like getting wet so he would start running to the potty and just go. When he did it my boyfriend and I or whoever was at the house would make it a BIG deal. We would even get cupcakes and celebrate with him. He loved it and still today I clap everytime he goes. Our Next step is overnight. I also see you are looking for a part time. We(my family) are looking for people who would like to work with us part time. I work on my own schedule so I can spend time with my son. I can give you more information just contact me.

I had a lot of false alarms with my son and he too would be playing and not paying attention to the task at hand. He would jump on and off the potty ten times before relaxing on it. I also read "everyone poops" to him. But also other disney books to keep him interested and on the potty for a few mins. I made a sticker poster for him and hung it up on the bathroom wall which he soon became proud of. Once he got over the fear of "letting it go" he was off and running to the potty on his own. It takes LOTS of patience and time. And definately celebrate with a hottin and hollerin parade around the house when he is successful - they love that!

Dear A.,
Potty training little boys can be very frustrating. I am the mother of two girls 13 and 12 and two boys 9 and 6. Our pediatrician explained to me that boys often think of their "poo poo" as a part of their body. I bought a wonderful children's book called "everybody poops" I would sit him on the potty and read it to him. It helps him understand the process.
Also, you mentioned you had a 6 month old. He might view potty time as alone time with mommy. Good Luck and whatever routine you pick remember to br consistent. It's hard , but believe me, it's the only way to get it done!

The way we potty trained our son and now our daughter is, I hate to say it, sort of like a puppy. When they drink something wait fifteen minutes and take them pee pee in the potty. After they eat something wait thirty minutes to go poo poo. Then you must take them every 15-20 minutes when at home so that way he gets use to the fact he must go to the bathroom. I hope that helps.

Frequent trips to the potty (like Kristy suggested) and going to the potty regulary like before/after nap, before after eating really helps. We try to go every 45 minutes when we're home, right when we get somewhere or 45 minutes or so after we arrive somewhere (provided there's a bathroom). Some people say a timer works well. once every 45 minutes or 1 hour the timer goes off and baby will start to understand that it's potty time. Try Once upon a Potty for boys (book, video and doll).

Hi A.,
I too am in the process of training my 2 year old little girl and have a 5 mo old baby girl as well. I read the book "Pee, Poop & Potty Training," and that has really helped me. It was written by, Allison Mackonochie. Could he be trying to get more attention this way? My oldest is very jealous of her little sister and somedays will try anything to get my attention (this includes taking her diaper off and painting her crib with it!). You may just want to wait another month or two and try training again then...

Good luck with school! Your babies will be so proud of their Mommy when you finish!
