Potty Training & Discipline Problems with My 4 Year Old

My son is almost 4 years old and is refusing to potty train. He knows how to do it, but just goes in his diaper. He comes to me to be changed when he is poopy. We have been trying off and on for a year now. I have tried every method suggested to me: pull-ups with cold sensation, wearing big boy underwear, putting him on the potty every hour, rewards with stickers and M&M's and using plastic pants. I haven't tried to let him run naked yet because we are in a fairly new house with new carpets and do not own a carpet cleaner. I also have...

Night Time Potty Training for 4 Year Old.

Can moms give me some advice about night time potty training for my 4 y.o. boy? He's fully potty trained during the day, but night time is a way different story. My DH and I try to wake him multiple times during the night to go potty, but our son is so sound asleep, either that or he's already wetted his bed. We do not give him liquids past a certain hour, but that doesn't stop him. We currently have him in night time pull ups. I want to try to get him potty trained at night before he begins Kindergarten (July 2009). Any suggestions I...

I have a 4 year old who will pee in the potty all day long, but for some unfathomable reason, he will only poop in his pants! I'm so frustrated. I have tried bribing him, punishing him, even begging and it's not working! Please anyone give me some suggestions!

3 Year Old Acting Out and Refusing Potty at Daycare

My three year old son has been potty trained for quite some time but recently has been refusing to use the potty at daycare. When his father asked him about it today he told him that he wanted to wet his pants and not use the toilet. The daycare had to end up washing all the extra clothes my ex packed for him so that he could have something to wear. Has anyone else gone through this and if so, what did you do that seemed to work for your child? P.S. My ex and I have been living in separate households for about three years now - my son...

I'm looking for advice/ideas on how to Potty Train my 3 year old son. How do I know he's ready?

Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!
