Help with Potty Training

[christinc21]

Just wanted to update everyone.

My son's potty switch went off last weekend and he decided he wasn't going to wear diapers anymore and started notifying us when he had to go. Now he is having an accident only every couple of days and is not pooping in the potty as well. He hasn't had a night time accident in a pull up all week so I let him sleep in his underwear and he had an accident. Probably had too much to drink before bed, but he has a bad cough as well.

I did buy the potty training in a  day book suggested above and it helped with some verbage to use and a few ideas. I did not get around to doing the actual "Training Day" because it requires a pottying doll and I couldn't find one in town and didn't want to spend $50 on one off the net. So I am putting it back on Ebay for sale.


Thanks again for all the tips!
Christin

I had the exact same trouble with my child. All the other kids were already poty trained... except him. I had read that kids could be potty trained at one or two.... but not mine.
Finally, i understood. It is not him who must be trained, but me. A friend told me... take it easy and when you decide to do it. Decide it not one more single diaper for him...
I took a while in deciding. And when i did, I took off the diaper, put the timer on and every 20 min. took him to the toilet... tantrums and all. He stopped the tantrums about the third time...if i would read him a book. I must say He did NOT like the toiletor basin or anything, but I disciplined myself to take hime... for one whole day, he Did not do on the toilet ever, the second day he did once. The third time he only wet his undies once...
He started TELLING me about 1 week later. That is why I say the training is for us moms...(to remember) not kids
However he has not wet his pants again, not even on naps, and not even at night!

I'm so happy for mmetlich when she says the training is for us.
The moment we take it easy for us and for them, things begin to move....

I found with my kids the less I went out in the car, the more luck I had with toilet training. Basically, the stay-at-home times are productive, but no nappies in a car, out shopping etc can be a nightmare, so I would put nappies on, which set back the training. So if you can, order in the groceries or get someone else to by them while you stay at home and concentrate on the one endeavour. I still have to work out how to potty train when I've forgotten how they support this at daycare.  I just bought a potty with toilet seat and removable insert, so I reckon I'll start today as no daycare for a week, as easter is in the middle.

That's buy not by.. I really need to proof-read before posting not after! I also have the problem of having a childproofed loungeroom with gates to keep bub in, but that means I have to do what I hate...potty in loungeroom. Hope I dont get any visitors this week! It's just hard to have childproof areas with older kids, and cats in the house.
