Put him in underwear and just get rid of the diapers. It will be messy for a few days but just do it. Also, make him wipe himself if he goes in his pants. Make potty trips easy but if he is wet or dirty, make sure it takes a long time away from whatever fun he was doing. Reward! Reward! Reward! Whatever it is that motivates him. At this age, I would do a small reward after each time. With my son, he has trouble with BM but we had a bunch of hot wheels cars so he got one after every poop in the potty. Never had an accident after the few 2 times. He was just over 2 so a long term reward was not going to work. HTH. S.

Start taking him to the toilet as soon as he wakes up in the morning. That's the easy one. Praise him when he pees. Take him about every 30-45 mins., also about an hour after meals or when he drinks water, juice. Take note of when he poops for a couple of days and then anticipate the moment. Yes, keeping him in uderware is a good idea. Good luck.

my cousin had the same issues with her son. he was 4 and still not potty trained. so she started putting him on the potty every 20- 30 minutes for 5 minutes and about 2 hrs after every meal. it didn't take long after that for him to potty train. another good thing would be for daddy to take him with him to the potty kinda a see/do thing. they really can't learn from women do to the differences in gender and the physical differences. however my daughter was almost 4 before she potty trained. she just honestly wasn't ready. not that she couldn't feel the need i think she was scared. then one day out of the blue she disappeared i went looking and she was on the potty and told me mommy i went potty and never any issues there after.

Boys seem to take longer than girls. But here is something you could try. It worked on my daughter, my nephew and our neighbor boy.
Take your son to town and let him pick out some big boy underwear. If you have the money also let him pick out some sheets and a comforter of his choice. Walmart has them in a bag all together and so does Target.
When you get home take the underwear out ot the bag and put them where your son can see them and not reach them. Tell him when he quits wetting the bed he can wear them. Also do the same with the sheets if you got them.
If this doesn't work then he is more than likely not physcally ready ....

do not worry...................i had 3 sons and all were over (3 )three before they got potty trained.........i have one grandson and his parents were worried about him not being trained. i told them not to worry it would happen when he was ready. well he was 3 1/2
when he was ready and it only took one week end . so do not stress
and let go of the pressure on him and you. boys take much longer then girls.

Let him be naked at home. That's the only thing that worked with my son who was 3 when we got serious about potty training. As he uses the potty, add underwear and then pants. By the end of the day, he'd have accidents and we'd strip back down and start over with him undressed. It took a solid two months for him to master it. Be patient. Boys take longer. I didn't get mad when he wet the clothes. Also, get the book Once Upon A Potty. There is a version for boys. That really got him interested. Good luck.

My now 3 year old son is still training, and has been for over a year. He knows what to do, but stubbornly refuses to do so because he prefered doing it in his pull-up. my suggestion is to not even do pull-ups b/c they reinforce being a big kid, but let them actually still soil themselves. the only thing that really worked was keeping him naked on the bottom. Walking around in wet underwear didn't phase him, but he knew he would get in trouble actually peeing or pooping on the floor. Also, for some reason, he really likes to pee outside, and if he had to pee, he asked if he could do it by the back door outside. not orthodox, but it got him going at the urge. also, stickers and stuff didn't work, but he LOVES running out after the potty and we (the whole family)get really excited and give hi-fives and do a happy dance in his honor.
