Is it weird to pay someone to potty train?

If I could find someone to do this I would pay$$

My son is also fighting it and turned 3 on 12/1/23. We are taking him to the potty non stop and he just holds it until night time bc he knows we are going to put an overnight diaper on

You need to be doing every 15/30 an hour is a long time for a child.

We go my son potty trained this year( he’s 3). We started by keeping him naked from the waist below and took to potty every 15-30 min. If and when he went to the bathroom we celebrated, I mean huge celebration and have him a huge candy, after that within 3 days he was going to the bathroom on his own and his been potty trained ever since

I will tell with an extreme child what worked. It was two weeks straight of a little toy potty in the TV room in front of the TV and pet potty pads underneath and on the couches. If the boy have them wear a long T-shirt, no pants. Praise him every time he hast to go and he goes on that little toy potty. Help him wipe and remind him every 10 minutes to go. Then when it seems like that transition is over so remind him every time to go, and when he goes, give him a high five. Tedious, it’s painful, you can’t go anywhere, but it gets it done two weeks.

Maybe try buying the potty training course from big little feelings before your hire someone? Idk lol just trying to help save you some money hahha I have no insight because my girl has been potty trained but that’s not a pat on my back, she just was weird and wanted to early 🤣🤣🫣
The only thing I did differently was put a potty seat in my bathroom and didn’t put pressure on it. And every time I went to the bathroom she would come with me and eventually she wanted to sit on it and try, but I never asked, and she found her own curiosity. I don’t know if your mom or mother-in-law are in your life and or are you trust them to do that but they potty trained you guys, so maybe a long weekend at grandparents house? 🤣

We are still using a diaper at bedtime, because when they’re asleep, they can’t control it, and at naps, and in the car seat, where we’re on the go in a diaper. The difference is while we’re out we’re always taking a break before and after a meal to use the toilet 🚽 we go together. Give that praise after every bathroom trip. The same thing at home we go on bathroom trips together and the child uses that toy potty. And again praise them after trying to go. I use the phrase just “relax and let it loose.” “ if nothing happens that’s OK you try.” “Well come back later and try again.” “ you’re doing a great job.”

Yes I’m doing the praise and treats when he goes, he normally would come up and say he has to go but lately he hasn’t and I normally put him in a pull up at night. I just wish I would have taken the initiative sooner. It’s hard lol.

I'm so scared we are about to start potty training our son who turned 3 12/24. I really really want to find a way to avoid using candy and treats as a reward. You ladies all have such wonderful advice!

I want to as well. At first I was doing the high fiving and stuff but I’ve resorted to using candy as a reward and now that’s what he expects when he goes

Yeah treats and rewards help some but I noticed they kind of fail in the long-term and it’s better just to use the positive praise and make it a positive activity rather than a stressful one your kids can tell when you feel negative about something and they’ll feel the same way. So it’s vice versa but rewards do work for some just wasn’t our luck and honestly it was like from 2 1/2 to 3 was our journey and I was fairly lazy about it till about two months before three years old. Every kid has their own right part of it is the vocabulary, part of it is theirbody control when you’re seeing more often in the morning that they’re waking up dry etc.
