How long can this go on for? My 4.5 yr old son wets his pants like 2-3 times a day. At this point I just change him and get on with things. When I tell him to put his clothes in the hamper and get clean underwear, he tends to get a nighttime diaper because he doesn’t feel like changing again! He also does baby talk.
Oh, the baby is 9.5 months old now.
Hi there, look don’t despair your son will get there in his own good time. You just can’t push these things. Boys especially can be a bit slower to potty train and yes a fully trained tot can regress when a new baby comes on the scene, it should sort itself out eventually. Was your son ever fully potty trained? if so then nothing is medically wrong otherwise there could be a little problem that could be quite easily sorted by a visit to the doctor because at this stage your little man must be feeling very low about it all the poor little fella I totally understand how frustrating it can be especially with a baby to look after as well. Don’t make the mistake of comparing your son to other children his age just give him loads of positive encouragement when things go right for him, and totally ignore any accidents just don’t react verbally with any negative comments what so ever as this can just destroy a small child’s confidence in himself. Things will settle down eventually just relax you’ll get there with your little one.
I really sympathise with you because when things go on like this it can be soul destroying but I promise you there is light at the end of the tunnel . Promise ….I’ve been there! mum to four kids now all fully potty trained and you’ll get there too. Best of luck.
my first son is 4 yrs old and my second son is 2 yrs half old. we bought potty training leave in bathroom and trying to teach my two sons go to potty but they refuse go! i told them to read book or play video game or something toys play with while potty same time. but they still refuse go potty and keep pee in baby diapers! we need your advice please! what we do????
Here it is- it has worked for my 2 kids,and others after I tell them……..
1. get m and m’s handy
2. get a small potty chair
3. get a couple books about potty
4. you need to be home for about 4-5 days straight
5. now you can start. let them run around bare-but
6. Set the timer for 1/2 hour. Tell him/her to sit on the potty for 5 min. (read them a book in the mean time if it’s to long for them.) If they go, give lots and lots of praise!!! I mean go crazy!! Give them about 3 m and m’s.
7. Set the timer for 1/2 hour
8. Avoid asking the question "you got to go potty?’
9. Timer goes off- ok! What does that mean junior? Time to go potty again he or she would say, or you say it if they don’t
10. repeat process all day long. If they go # 2 in the potty, reward with a handful of m and m’s. They are very colorful and kids love them!!
11. Praise praise praise. I do spank my kids for behavior problems such as lying, disobedience, and bad attitudes, but never for having an accident. If there is an accident, clean it up queitly, and don’t say much at all. Remind them it’s ok, but try to make it in the potty next time, or in your own words.
Good luck!!! Hope this helps you. My girl was potty-trained in two days with the method. Took my 2 1/2 year old son a week. Leave pull-ups on them at night just in case.
p.s. if this doen’t work at all, try again in a few months.
My daughter is now 2 years 7 months and has used the bathroom on the toilet one time. She is a very strong willed, independent child who likes to do everything herself: except use the toilet. She refuses to sit on the toilet and throws a tantrum if we even try to get her to. I’ve tried using a little floor potty and letting her pick out the stool and potty seat that goes on the toilet. I’ve tried getting her to help me make a potty chart with stickers. I’ve tried bribing her with rewards such as candy if she goes in the potty. But, she refuses to. I 100% certain she knows when she needs to poop. The majority of the time she knows when she needs to pee as well, but doesn’t always tell me. I’ve tried putting her in panties and letting her feel uncomfortable by being wet or dirty, but she doesn’t care. She’ll either take her clothes off or just sit there like it doesn’t bother her. I’m really out of ideas and don’t know how to potty train such a hard headed child. She also tells me when I put big girl panties on her (that she went and picked out) that she wants to wear a diaper not panties. When I ask her why she won’t sit on the potty she says "no" or "I want you to change me". Please help me!!!!
This is a common issue with children. Sometimes it is from a change in the routine they are used to. There is also the fact that she is becoming a very active little person and doesn’t want to stop playing to sit on a potty and let mommy change me.
What I did with my two youngest ones is allow them to take a favorite toy or blanket with them. To some extent they still would hesitate though having something keeping them entertained got enough cooperation to sit on the potty and try to go.
I also utilized taking the potty to the room where they play or watch tv or movies. Be creative in ways to get her attention and cooperation.
Also, having a consistent schedule will help her get into a routine with potty training.
My daughter is 16 months old and I have just started to potty train her. I know it’s early, but she is very interested in the potty and I want to get started while she is into it. I got her a cute potty that she loves and I have been putting her on it often. She pulls her pull up up and down, but when she finally gets on the potty seat…nothing. Any tips??
Great advice…thank you eveyone!
I have this great video that was free from pull-ups, and if you and your daughter watch it together you might get some great tips! visit the pull ups website and look for the free dvd offer! Good luck with the potty training!
Oh, and to tide you over until you get the dvd, one of the tips is to set them down and sit on the potty with her, then press on her lower abdomen and tell her to release … worked with my daughter at least lol, good luck!
She’s 18 months old and always taking her diaper off. When I say big girl potty she runs to the bathroom straight to the toilet. I asked her tonight if she thinks she’s ready to use the big girl potty and she said yes. Could she really be ready at 18 months?
I work in Childcare and from the sounds of it, your daughter is definately showing signs of wanting to start toilet training. At work we advise our parents to ‘look for signs’ such as Not wanting to wear a nappy (diaper), wanting to sit on the toilet, and asking to wear underwear. 18 months is definately not too young to start toilet training, especially if she has initiated it, in fact it’s great. My advice would be to start encouraging her, buy her a potty, keep her in a diaper for sleep and allow her to use the toilet whenever she likes (you will have to take her of course to get her into the habit of going). Toilet training can be tedious process but the more consistent you are the easier it becomes. I hope this helps. Good luck.
