I have 4 children. Now they are Girl-20, Boy-19, Girl-15, and Girl-14. Something different worked on each one of them. I never used pull ups. I used the cotton training pants and put the plastic training pants on over them for all of the kids. And a colorful potty chair.
Girl-20: I made up a sticker board and hung it on the wall so she could reach it and for every time she went pee in the potty she got 1 sticker, #2 earned her 2 stickers. And at the end of the day I would have a surprise waiting for her. Usually her favorite cookies, Ice cream bar etc. She looked forward to doing a good job pottying so she could find out what her surprise was at the end of the day.
Boy-18: When I went through potty training my son, I had dad take him to the bathroom when he went. There's just certain things moms can't show their little boys. And the proper way too pee is one of them..LOL...Next thing you know he is peeing & pooping in his potty chair and saying look mommy I can potty just like daddy.
Hope these work for someone.
