Potty training help

So update: I’ve gone the last 2 days nappy free/boxers when out and about and he’s only had 2 accidents and have weed and pooed on the potty 🙏🏼 fantastic start!

Mine wins the same he’s 3 in July start over a week ago and he hates it at first, we just leave the potty out and he does go now took a while but he will only go if he has his full bottoms off, so we just leave him without out on while we are at home but this week now he’s used to it going to start showing him how to pull his underwear etc down. Just takes time

My son was the same. One day after he came home from nursery he decided to just sit on it and I took the opportunity to commit😅 I had to stop doing the reward thing because he would just sit down and not use it and expect something and I don't want to teach him a bad habit because sitting on potty should be just a natural thing. But if that's your last result it's worth a try and just slowly cut it out over time. The most important thing is don't stress him or yourself out because you're just going to go backwards. Some kids just take a little longer and that's ok. Just communicate that with the nursery and see how they work around potty training as well and see if they can support you. Having a nappy off worked for us and we slowly started introducing underwear and then trousers on top of the underwear and we're still working with the underwear. He still has accidents because he thinks he has a nappy on. Xx just try it out without the nappy and see how it goes. Just have a mop handy😅

Might also be worth him seeing you go on the toilet and explain to him you're going potty then he might want to copy you x

My little boy is 3 28th July and we haven't even started 🙈 we used it once but found he wanted to sit on it for fun for hours and then nursery he just freaked out about going so we stopped. Now time is getting on and im like shall I?

Have you got books about potty training? I just tried to make it fun with books and potty songs. I also seen these potty training pants so thag when they wee/poo its uncomfortable and thags what makes the connections in the brain and how they learn. Maybe ask him if he wants to choose his own pants? Xx

Once you start you gotta commit to it. No going back

I did the naked method and my son was trained in a week with only one accident. I started a month before his birthday right after the holidays

Every time he went, we would do a potty dance. I rewarded him for pee and poo. Small prize for poo

He read his potty books whenever he sat on the potty. It was the cutest thing. Like an old man with a newspaper lol

Once I took the diaper off on day 1 that was it

He never peed overnight either. He was dry for a month before I even started training

Good luck! 🍀

My son is 3 in July too and last summer he did a couple wees and a poo on it but the poop scared him and he won’t go back on since, we moved house so didn’t want lots of change happening for him but whenever I mention the potty he just says no mummy don’t want too tried sticker chart, chocolate if he goes on it the lot. I need to just have a few days off in a row and him be naked I think but he’s so so stubborn. He’s so advanced in everything else, apart from this hahaha xx

My son was the exact same!! We started in January and still haven’t really got there. But we found actually taking him straight to the toilet, we got the toilet ladder step seat, he loves it. We made a sticker chart to hang up next to the toilet in our bathroom that when he’s on the toilet he picks what sticker he’s going to use after he’s done it. It’s been super slow for us, we’re due baby number 2 in a couple weeks but I don’t want to put pressure on him. He’ll get there 🥺

My girl point blank refused the potty
She also won’t be naked and she won’t wear her pants but we brought the steps with the toilet seat and sometimes she will go pull her pull up down and sit on the toilet
We stopped the reward chart because the melt down of not having all the stickers for her to stick everywhere but the reward chart wasn’t worth it

The struggle is real 😫

Leave the potty available always. Start with every nappy change sitting him on the potty wether he does something or not, after a few days/week stay home for a few days and try nappy free and keep taking him potty every 30mins or so. He clearly knows how to do it so just stick with it and keep going. It can get worse too after a few weeks of going good. I’m against reward charts, claps hugs and praise are good enough. Exciting pants to try make him not want to wet them.

I have nothing useful to add as my daughter is the same. But someone tell me, what does it mean when people say this is the last chance? So will our kids be nappy wearing adults? Are there other nappy wearing adults whose parents missed the window? 😢😢

I potty trained my son over Christmas just before he was 2.5. We said goodbye nappies one morning and that was it. You have to commit and go all in.. the first few days are HARD (for me, the hardest part of parenting so far) but they get there super quickly!
We gave a little chocolate for successful wees and a sticker on his chart. When he got a certain number of stars he got a toy (a little car for him as he loves cars). Took the choc away for wee but kept for poo for a week or so.
If we went out for the first few weeks, I put a pull up on over the top of his pants. He would still feel wet but not a bit mess which upset him (obviously didn’t do this at home!)

Just go nappy free. Its not as bad as you may think. Just have lots of spare trousers and pants and some floor wipes to hand lol. But once they feel the wee going down their leg and how uncomfortable it is, they will want to use the potty quickly
