Potty Training Twins
If you have twins or children of a similar age you may feel that potty training them together may seem like a time-saver, but it doesn’t always work out that way, as your children may approach readiness at different times.
A key point to remember is that not all children are ready at the same time [...]

You can’t force him to do it, maybe his body is physiologically not ready for it. Buy a few potty training books, keep the potty available to him at all times, talk to the kindergarten teacher when he goes to school and relax a little
all things in good time.
Replynow days 2 1/2 is young to potty train. Most kids aren’t fully potty trained until about 3-4. My son is 2 1/2 and won’t wear a diaper all day. He has no problem peeing in the potty. But he won’t go #2. I have tried everything, bribing, telling him we are out of diapers, taping a diaper in the toilet, trying to get him to sit on the toilet with a diaper. Nothing works for this kid. For some kids it is a pressure thing. If they feel they are being pressured they don’t want any thing to do with it. give him time. he will get it. He will see other kids doing it and will want to also.
ReplyI tried everything under the sun to get my daughter to potty train. She would occasionally do it, but then we would go days-weeks without her using the potty. I pestered her about it all the time. Constantly asking her if she wanted to use the potty. She would always say, “No.” I realized that the times she was using the potty were times she decided she wanted to use the pitty and not times I suggested she use it. This realization helped potty train my daughter. I just completely stopped with it. I let her decide that she wanted to do it and never pestered her about it. She potty trained herself. One morning she woke up and told me she needed to go pee and after she went pee I asked if she wanted to wear “unders” (this is what she calls underwear) and she said yes. We have not used diapers since that day and have had a mere 2 accidents in over a month. She will turn 3 next week and has only been doing this for about a month and a half. I think letting them do it on their own time is a great option for those who just won;t do it no matter what you do. Good luck!
ReplyIt sounds like he is not ready right now. He will definitely let you know when he is. In the meantime, dont force him or get upset, just once in a while simply ask him ” do you have to use the big potty?” And try like maybe once a day just putting him on there so he gets used to the toilet. Some kids are scared of the big potty because it is such a change from what he is used to. Good luck
Reply2 1/2 years old and starting school - that seems awfully young.
ReplyJust give him time. Kids will do it when they are ready (especially boys). Our 3rd son was 3 1/2 before he was fully potty trained and he did it on his own while we were on an RV trip, probably just because he thought it was fun to use the bathroom in the RV.
Boys are notoriously slow with potty training and the worse thing you can do is to force them to do it. Bribery works well…make it, well, fun…each time my boy would use the potty or toilet he would get a sticker. Five stickers meant he would get a matchbox toy car…this worked very well. He still has the odd accident but everytime now he uses the toilet (aside from nightime sleeping he still uses a nappy because of said accidents)
Replyhe will do it when he wants when you are not forceing it on him or he will see a kid at school doing it and he will want to do it
Replylet him run around the hosue diaper free- pull ups are nothing but a cool looking diaper. they know they can go to the bathroom in it- if he pes on the floor just clean it up
