Answer 2

I  never had wet myself before i never was potty trained I was 15 months old and I just wanted to be like my older sister! So if he has

an older sibling this might work! Ask him if he wants to be a big boy !

It might work!

Answer 3

Just give him time.

If it's the bathroom that's the only thing that stopping him then maybe by a potty chiar and stick it like int he kitchen or something and see if HE tries to use it.

My 3 year old, after a few attempts at "potty training", just decided one day he was using the potty, and has ever since. It just comes to them and as long as they are introduced to the potty, then they will do it when they are ready.

Boys usually take a bit longer to potty train anyway

GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 4

If he screams and is afraid..he isn't ready

Answer 5

If your son  screams when he enters a bathroom, he is not ready to potty train.  I am the mother of 4 children, 2 of them are boys.  Neither one of my boys was ready until their 3rd birthday.  Let your son get used to the potty idea on his terms.  I would not become alarmed until he was older than 3.5.  I have never encountered a 2yr old that was potty training ready.

Answer 6

Try making it rewarding and kinda make a big deal when he steps into the bathroom, then gradually work your way to the toilet.  

Answer 7

I think you should get a potty chair and put it outside of the bathroom. Maybe he is afraid of getting flushed down the toilet.  

Answer 8

Don't.  Two is a little young anyway.  He'll get over it when he gets over it.

Remember: Very few kids go to Kindergarten in diapers.

Answer 9

Don't force him. Show him how to pee in the toilet and let him do it on his own,

Answer 10

He may not be ready then.  My son was afraid of flushing the toilet...until recently, and he is almost 4.  Just this summer he finally had something click for him and he uses the regular toilet, stands to pee, sits to poo, and flushes by himself.

Encourage him, but don't make it a big issue.  

Answer 11

Well, this is how I got my son to do it. USE THE FORCE!!!!!!! LUKE WAS USING IT IN NO TIME!
