TOPIC: potty training

potty training 3 years, 5 months ago #341

my need is simply this - after having NO problems when the time came to potty training our oldest we are now faceing a HUGE issue with our youngest who is 2, well 3 next month. He wont sit on the dam thing and will not use the loo either.

So any ideas or advise. is there light at the end of the tunnel? : :?:

Hi westwingfan - don't you find they talk too fast!? Guess not, your brain must be able to work a bit faster than mine, I just get lost. :oops:

Re: potty training. Wonder if your frist kid was a girl? According to my ex-wife who did most of the potty training in our house, girls just get it quicker than boys hence she didn't get stressed when our son took a bit longer to toilet train. One thing we did find that was fun was to put a few bits of puffy breakfast cereal (eg. cherrios) in the toilet for target practise - if he isn't tall enough to stand at the toilet yet, give him a little stool to stand on. You could even try standing with him & show him how its done!

Hmmm, our family subscribes to the "when they are ready they will", so our daughter managed it sometime when she was 2, and our next one struggled at 3.5 (but is there now!). So we tried it for a few days to a week each time, and on the third time he decided to cooperate.

I think you can get them to do it earlier - it just depends how much cleaning you are willing to do

Hi Fred

why would it make a differnace if the oldest was a girl?

Re: potty training 3 years, 4 months ago #387

Hi Fred - both kids are boys

oldest took to potty like a duck to water, he saw a freind use on and well that was that. Number 2 son is 3 next month and just not interested..he tells us when he has a wee coming but just wants his nappy..

Cause girls are more clever than boys?

Don't know...you would have to ask my ex (but that is the answer I can imagine she would give!)
