Naked Boy

I have been there!!! LOL! My two boys are 16 months and 26months old. I think it is just a phase they go through my daughter is 3 also and just 2 weeks ago accomplished potty training as a whole. She does not even wet the bed or have any accidents. I have learned as long as you allow them to have a diaper or pullup on they think it is ok to go in them. since I switched from pullups to "Big Girl panties" My daughter has not had any accidents. I think it is a mindset they get into. My boys use to strip down at nap time too and make a horrible mess!! The solution is up to you! I would put them in an outfit they can't take off by themselves like the onepeice outfits worked for me then they just stop trying because it is not worth the trouble! lol I have not had a problem since. I hope this has helped some. Goodluck to you! ~ T.

Hi
I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys 8,6,&4. Maybe you could try putting a potty chair in his room with some books or cars or whatever he likes to play with near by. I know with my 4 year old( he was 2 1/2 when I potty trained)I just followed him around with a potty b/c he too loved to be naked anywhere and everywhere. I too cleaned up alot of pee and poop. Encourage him to sit on it whenever naked or not and make a big deal when he does go in the potty. You could even do a sticker chart and let him put the stickers on maybe with a reward for 7 or 10 stickers.I hope that helps. G.

We've been making my son "help" clean up his accidents ever since he could hold a paper towel. It's not punishment and we don't expect him to be able to actually clean it up, but he has learned that there is a consequence to going potty on the floor and does not do it very often anymore (he also prefers to be without clothes). When he pees on his bed he helps me put the sheets in the laundry shoot and get new ones from the closet. While we are cleaning it up I chat about where potty belongs (potty or diaper) and where it doesn't belong (very upbeat and positive, no shaming). He's learning, but he's still only two and we still end up with pee pee on the floor every now and again. I just remind myself that this is temporary and (HOPEFULLY!!!) he will be potty trained soon and it won't be an issue.

Have you tried getting the t-shirt that snap between the legs Babies r Us have them in bigger sizes. It's a bit harder for kids to get them off.

You all sure gave me a chuckle! Now that mine are grown, I only have a grandson that I can send home to his parents when he takes his clothes off. :)

If he wears footie jammies to bed put them on backwards trust me he can't take them off. Overalls you can do that with too. Other then that I don't know what to tell you other then it won't last forever. good luck

when my oldest one was 3, we would be shopping in the stores and within seconds after turning around to pick up some items, he's suddenly naked and dropped all his clothes on the floor and start walking around by my shopping cart as if nothing ever happened. it's hilarious but concerning. everytime he did it we always "discpline" him by making him put his clothes back and we won't go anywhere until he did so. Apparently it worked. Took a couple of weeks. We also compliment him A LOT when he did keep his clothes on in public or at home. Try that and good luck :)

That is yucky behavior...but the taking his clothes off is quite normal! I think that there needs to be some consequences for the diaper removal and the potty messes that he is making. This seems very inappropriate to me. My son, too, is 3. He takes his clothes off b4 nap, down to his undies but has never gone beyond that. I think that you need to firmly explain to him that what he is doing is not acceptable and that if he makes these choices, he will have a consequence. That will be up to you. Maybe he has to be responsible to clean up his mess! YUCK! Or something valuable to him gets taken away until he seems to understand and has a mess-free naptime. Remember to reward his good behavior! Then he will want to do positive things cuz it makes mommy happy! Sorry if I sound harsh..

That's how my sister in law potty trained all 3 of her children. She said if they learned where it came from then thery would learn where to put it. Very discusting. When you went over there not only did you have to watch for cat and dog poop but little people poop too.

I never had problems with my kids taking off their clothes but a friend's daughter did that. She just eventually grew out of it.

Good luck.

My son who is 20 months has decided that he needs to take his diaper off. And yes he unclothes himself and I think he is way to young for potty training. But I know when I put a onsie tee on under his clothes he has a harder time taking the clothes off. Also if he is taking his diaper off he might be more ready than you think. Just try taking him to the potty whenever he does take off his diaper just so he gets the understanding that if the diaper is off that is where he needs to go. Pooping is another story. It will take them a while to get it but it sort of sounds like he is ready. Reward him for going and sitting on the potty. My daughter who is now 4 was doing the same thing a year ago. I would tell her that every time she sat on the potty, she could have a diaper on for all I cared but she had to sit on it, she would get one M&M and if she sat on the potty and tried peeing that she would get three M&M's it took three months but it worked. Once she got the peeong down we then did that with her pooping. That took much long to get her to do. When she did it one day she decided that she wanted to take a picture and send it to daddy at work. I told her okay as long as she will keep pooping on the potty. I worked. Basically you have to find what will interest your son. If he likes candy or rarely gets candy and that would be a special treat for him. A friend of mine used stickers. We did that as well but she got bored with it. The M&M's was a more postive response.
