Potty Training HELP!!!

I would go the let him clean it route as well. I would also go as far as to have him wash out his underpants. He needs to see that he invests more time in cleaning up the mess than it would have taken to go to the bathroom. It doesn't have to be "punishment" it can be more like "uh oh, i see you had an accident here, you are going to have to help mommy clean this up." If you feel that this could be accidents and not intentional its a good way to go. Its not getting angry or punishing its simply cause and effect. When we make a mess we have to help clean it up, no biggie. However, if he takes the time to go in the corner sounds intentional. He is either trying to control the situation, or he is being lazy and not taking the time to go to the bathroom, or waiting until the last minute to go.

I just finished potty training one - and he did the same thing. My mother said that's very common & suggested I put his little potty seat in that corner. That did the trick within a couple of weeks. If you don't have a potty to put there, let me know...I was just about to give his to goodwill, which is still practically brand new, its clean and disinfected.

I completely agree with Jenny. Let him clean it up, then he will see just how yucky it is. My friend would do the same thing and it didn’t take her son anytime to always use the toilet.

Hi, my daughter went through this a couple weeks ago. I actually took her to the doctor because I thought something had to be wrong. She was perfectly healthy and the doctor said she probably just had and accident and then it just kind of threw her off a bit. So he said just to basically start over and do everything the same way we did in the beginning. We did just that and now she's back to using the potty each time. I don't really know that making a 3 yr old clean up the mess would do much good, he is just 3.

Our 2 year old is potty trained unless I get after him for something and then he will pee on the floor. GRRRRR! Make him clean up the mess and every time he does it take something away from him that is special to him. Let him know that he can have it back when he puts pee pee in the potty. My son, because I know he is doing it to "punish me" gets a spankin. Yes out side of that he does have an occasional accident, heck my four year old still does, and they don't get disciplined for that but they do have to clean it up.

Hello well I know what you are going through. My mom had two boys and the way that she got them to potty train was get a empty tin coffee can. Let him pee in that and he will think it is fun and listening to his pee hit the tin. I am not sure why this works but my mom said it was her last resource because nothing else seemed to work. Then my brothers like it so she persued it until he got the hang of it and then started him on the toilet. Try it out.

You might try putting something in the corner, where he likes to go. Something that would not be easily moved.
