Potty training

My son will be turning 3 on June 28th. I also have a girl coming may 14th. Whenever I try to ask him if he wants to go on the potty he always says no. How do I make it more fun and engaging for him he has his own potty and I also have a seat with stairs for him to use on the toilet. I am trying to figure out the best way because he also go to daycare five days a week. What is better using pull ups or training underwear

Hi. According to potty training experts, you are not supposed to ask the if they want to go to the bathroom but instead create a bath schedule for them. Here is a link with information that I think you would find useful. It’s a page for autism family but it provides you with videos of potty training experts giving step by step potty training tips. https://www.actcommunity.ca/education/videos/toilet-training-for-everyone-revised-and-expanded/

Omg my daughter is turning 3 June 27th! And I’m having a boy June 12 lol! So my daughter has been doing really good with potty training! I made a potty song😭😭 and I sing it while she’s on the pot encouraging her to go, positive reinforcements!!! I’d give her a sticker or a small treat each time she pees or 2 and sing and dance and say good job!!! Then it turned into she went on her own! And I’d say “whaaaat?! Look at you big girl! I’m so proud of you! “ and I’d give the treat! Or even when daddy comes home he congratulates her too. I also would say setting a timer I did 15-20min intervals and literally she’d have to pee each time lol (also giving her panties instead of the pull-up during this time explaining we don’t pee on ourselves!) yes there was a few accidents when she’s playing hard but just be encouraging!
Now we just went out of state (drove7hrs) and the entire way except when she slept lol she said mommy or daddy I have to potty! And we’d stop because mommy has to potty too!

My daughter just started sitting on it and I wouldn’t ask her I would put it where she plays and she finally just realized I need to sit there lol she hates being wet so that’s why diapers and pull ups were off the second she wore underwear 🩲

Pros and cons of childminders vs nursery

Which one would you recommend for a 1 year old both parents work full-time

Nursery

Currently planning for baby number 2. My two year old goes to nursery two days a week. We had to reserve his place for our nursery in pregnancy and we didn’t have much choice on which days were available even this far in advance. What are people’s experience with this when siblings are joining the nursery? Do they generally get them in the same days as their older siblings? Worrying about work if they can only accommodate different days!

iPad games.

Which games do you let your toddlers play on the iPad? I’ve tried a few but all of them seem to come up with payment to use full use of the app and it constantly pops up, anyone have any suggestions.
YouTube is banned from his iPad so we just allow him to colour and play and occasionally watch CBeebies

Weaning - how much do they eat?

Hey ladies,
We started on purees with my 6mnth old baby about 10 days ago, but she seems to be totally uninterested, maximum 2-3 spoonful of puree each day. How is it going for others?

Sandwiches/ size of food

Baby is 10M old. Solid start app says most food to be offered as bite size, but been told by midwife/HV that the older they get the bigger the pieces? How do you offer sandwich for lunch?
