My son will turn 3 mid-January, and is not potty trained. He has always done everything early developmental-wise, with this one exception. I bought him a "singing" potty chair, made a potty chart, let him pick out big-boy underwear, put a candy jar in the bathroom for a visual reminder that he gets a reward when he uses the potty, got a sticker book (again for rewards, as he loves stickers), but nothing has seemed to work. He just doesn’t seem to care! I’ll let him be naked or in undies around the house, and make frequent trips to the potty, but he’ll just end up peeing on the floor somewhere. He’ll poop and not want me to change him. He wakes up soaked in the morning. I try to be consistent without pushing him, and always offer praise when he does use the potty (he’s peed 6 times, but has never pooped). I know some kids just take longer (boys, especially), but I’m 34 weeks pregnant, and would LOVE to only have to change one son’s diapers!
I am not "wildly desperate", nor do I pressure him. All of these tips were not used at the same time, and we’ve been working on it for a year. It’s not bribery or manipulation, it’s offering reward along with praise for a job well done.
I can tell you what I did with my son. Getting him to poop in the potty was easier but he would wet his pants and didn’t care. I took him outside on a cold day to play. I would remind him about the potty. Half hour later he wet his pants and he was freezing. He yelled "I’m cold! I’m wet!". We went back inside the house and I told him "See, see what happens when you don’t use the potty.". He got motivated after that.
Have you considered padded cotton training pants? It seems to work best with toddlers who are making some effort to try to use the potty. If your son wears a size 6 diaper then the Gerber cotton training pants that you sometimes see in stores will likely be too small. There’s a more thicker padded training pants made of cotton that comes in a variety of sizes.

The advantage of anything cloth is that they are more uncomfortable for the kid than a disposable diaper including pullups. You can also get plastic pants to wear over it too.

potty chart found in http://www.hotelsservice.com – A chamber pot’ (also a chamberpot, a jerry, a Luke, a “‘Josh’”, a po, a gazunder, (possibly from French “pot de chambre” or more likely a contraction of ‘goes under’), a pot, a potty, or a thunder pot) is a bowl-shaped container with a handle, and often a lid, kept in the bedroom under a bed or in the cabinet of a nightstand and generally used as a urinal at night. In Victorian times, some chamber pots would be built into a cabinet with a closable cover.The introduction of inside water closets started to displace chamber pots in the 19th century but such pots were in common use until the mid-20th century.Chamber pots continue in use today[update] in countries lacking indoor plumbing such as rural areas of China, and have been redesigned as the bedpan for use with the very ill.In North America and the UK, the affectionate term “potty” is often used when discussing the toilet with small children such as during potty training. It is also usually used to refer to the small, toilet-shaped devices made especially for potty training, which are quite similar to chamber pots.

She’s been pooping in the toilet for a year now but she refuses to pee in the toilet. I don’t know why she knows when she has to pee and even changes her pullup after she wets it. I’ve tried praising her and making a potty chart and everything I can think of. I tried underwear a couple times and she peed on the floor. Help please
Either put her in underwear or let her run around pants-less. When she has an accident, make her "help" clean it up with you. Simply tell her "potty goes in the potty chair". Seeing the urine will help her make the connection. Stop with the pull-ups though. Every kid I know that used them took forever to potty train. They ar too much like diapers.

Hi all.
My little boy turned two in August and we have just started potty training him. He is my first and so I’m unsure about how it all works and what is normal.
I’m wanting to make a sticker/rewards chart for him to help encourage and motivate him along the way. Are there any basic things I need to know about sticker charts? eg how do I set them out? do I have different colour sticker for wees and poos? How have you done them? What does he need to do to get a sticker?
Since he is so young I’m also concerned he won’t understand. Is he able to understand a sticker chart at this age?
We’ve sort of been training for about two weeks now and he was the one who decided he wanted to start. He’s done about 10 wees total at home in the potty and is doing wees in the toilet at daycare which he attends two days a week. No poos yet though. When should I expect the first poo? He always seems to be asleep when he does them!!
Thanks!! ![]()
your best bet would be to talk to your daycare provider and find out what they are doing there. If you both do the same thing he will "get it" easier.
for my son we have a sticker chart and he gets little stickers for pee and big stickers for poo – i just bought one of those cheap sticker books for teachers at the dollar store they have 700 stickers and usually 2 sizes.
He has to go in the potty chair or toilet and wash his hands then he gets a sticker. I haven’t added any type of reward for doing anything any number of times because he does it for a sticker and is happy with that reward.
My son actually did poo first and is still working on peeing but most kids are like your son and might take a couple months to get #2 down even after they are fully potty trained. With that patience is key.
