2 Issues 2Yrs Old (Potty and Going to Sleep) Need Advise!

You can start potty training a boy at two, and spend a year doing it, or you can start potty training him at three and spend a week doing it. It is certainly possible to train earlier, but is it really worth the hassle? As for bed time, put him to bed and tell him it is time to sleep. If he is calling you, wait ten minutes, go in and tell him again it is time to go to sleep. If he continues, wait 15 minutes the next time, and so on. It might take a couple of days, but if you are consistent and reassuring it should work. Just don't give in!

Most likely he's too young to consistently use the potty, pee there consistently and lay down to sleep w/o you nearby.

Here's what I would do:
-try the potty training again later when he's a little more developed and in
tune w/his needs (feeling he has to pee)
-buy a toilet seat insert to sit on top of your toilet ring (you can make it a
cute one he will like)
-use a reward chart: when you go potty in the big toilet you get a treat: some M&M's let's say. Do it each and every time.
-be sure and ask him "Do you have to go pee in the big boy potty?"
-also, i would revisit it later when he's a bit older.
-since he had a nap at daycare from 1-3 he may not be sleepy/ready for bed at the time you put him down
-maybe try a later bedtime
-make sure he has a nightlight in his room (good at this age)
-stay in the room w/him at night when you put him down to bed for the night. Don't say anything to him. He just knows you are there w/him. It's
comforting & security.
-if you're in there, he won't call for you.
-since he naps at daycare, try making his bedtime later. That should help.
-make sure he's active when he comes home from daycare: playing, running, games etc.
-trying the later bedtime for now hould probably work. You can always adjust it as you go along.
Hang in there. It's a time for adjustment. Adjust as you go along meeting YOUR SON'S needs as you go along. It will work. It will get better. Just time to keep adjusting momma. It will be okay. :) Smiles & hugs to you.
My son went through a stage just like this.

Most boys train after their 3rd B-days. Once he turns 3, start the process again.

Have a bedtime routine: Brush teeth, read him a short story,
say "Twinkle, twinkle little star", say a prayer and shut off the lights.

At this point, he should really be falling asleep on his own. Yes, you should be letting him cry it out. It takes a few days. Yet, many parents today cannot stand hearing a child cry.

At age 3, many fears surface and it is hard for a child to fall asleep. Try to get him to fall asleep on his own now. If you do decise to sit in the rm, do not say a word. He needs to do this on his own.

Make sure he is playing , running, etc for a bit after you get home for work.

One night I went to the store and my husband let her cry it out. He had no problem w/ it. It worked. It does not harm the child. You wlll be thankful you did it.

Do not let him watch tv before bed. It's too intense and not a gd habit.

Try providing white noise like soft classical music or a fan noise, etc...in the background.

An hour and a half nap might be all he needs if he can't fall asleep at night. Have them get him up first.

I would say the child care is a good resource for you. If they have not started potty training him there it is okay for you to encourage him to go at home but it won't take effect until later. In my center we didn't even have a kids bathroom in the 2 year old room. We had them starting in the 3 yr old classroom though.

My hubby still puts the 5 yr old in bed by laying next to him and reading to him. They chat and he stays there until he falls asleep.

It will take some time but try going in his room around 8:30 or 8:45 and start the transition to bed. He can get dressed and lay on the bed. You can take the time to actually get him to sleep so you can be done or you can continue to go like you are. He still needs that nap at school so you need to probably make sure you get him to take some time during the day to have him sleep or at least rest, do quiet things while laying down. It will help train his body to have quiet still time. It helps them learn to sit still for future school years too.

He will still need to be taking a nap until he gets about half way through kindergarten. After they come back from Winter Break they'll stop resting and taking naps. Until then kids are expected to lay down for at least a couple of hours during the day.

I also rocked my kids to sleep, so I had to transition them to falling asleep on their own. I did lie with them or sit next to their bed. I would shush them and wait patiently for them to fall asleep. Once they got used to that routine I would wait until they were very relaxed and sleepy. Then I would quietly say, "I'm going to put some clothes in the laundry and then come right back." (The excuses varied. The point was to leave the room.) I always came right back. Every night it was a different excuse, and every night I extended the time. I still came back. After a few nights, they were asleep when I got back. Once I knew they were used to that, I started saying good night and telling them that I would check on them later. I have to tell you, it did take me a week or so, but it's really nice now.

I'm sure there are many moms who have had success at 2 years old, but with my oldest I didn't even try until he was 2 months shy of his 4th birthday before I trained him. My youngest is 3, and I'm currently working with him. If he's really not interested, I'd just wait. It's really common for boys to be 3 1/2 or 4 years old before they potty train.
