HELP! Potty Training

I am also potty training my 2 yr old. she did really well until she turned 2. at like 1 1/2 she had problems going #2 so I would put her on the big potty and it helped her. Now that her bowells have straightened up and no more problems she is back to hiding and going in her diaper. I think it is bc I have a 1 yr old also. I created a song and she sings. She just doesn't go yet in the big potty. WE sing Poo poo in the potty get a cookie. It worked there for a while then she is stubborn and said no way man I am hiding. So I think it is just a test. I've been told to try a schedule. Everytime you go put him on the potty. Or like every hour or two depending on houw much he drinks. I know you are busy but you have to be consistant. That is my problem with a 2 and 1 yr old who has time for that? lol well good luck to you! He will do it when he is comfortable don't be too hard on him

M.,

My advise to you is get rid of the diapers. He is not going to get the potty training with a diaper on. I have gone through this with both of my kids and the best way is not to use diapers and pull ups. They can't feel when they go potty in there pants. I have put regular pants on both of my kids from the beginning. With my daughter it took her about 2 weeks and my son about 3 weeks to get the hang of it. YOu have to be patient with them. The thing people tend to forget is they don't realize that when you are potty training you can't do the same things you did when they were wearing a diaper. YOu need to stay home more and yes you will have alot of messes to clean up but it will be worth it in the end. I would rather go through 2 or 3 weeks of cleaning up messes then go 3 or 4 years potty training. Well good luck and hope this helps.

It sounds like he gets the concept, but maybe his body just doesn't understand the sensation of when he has to go. Once he understands what that feeling means it sounds like he will have it. He is saying uh oh and grabbing at his diaper so he knows he isn't supposed to do that. Find a way to get him to realize the sensation. I took my son out of diapers and put him underwear. You will have to clean up some messes, but he will get that sooner.
Good luck

Unfortunetly there are no real fast ways to potty train. He will do it when he is ready. I know its a pain! You could try a sticker chart and he gets one when he succesfully goes but dont punish him for having an accident. My son wasnt totally p/t until past 4. He had an accident when we were on our way to get his birthday pics taken. I would just say carry extra clothes and put a diaper or pullup if your drving anywhere!
