Answer 1

Just take the diapers away!  It might take a week or two but be patient and he'll get the hang of it quickly.  I got my TWO year old son potty trained this way in two weeks!

Remember not to yell or get angry when he has accidents.  He will get discouraged and may have even more problems.  Just say something like "Oops, you had an accident.  That's okay, you're a big boy and you'll make it next time right?"

Answer 2

Dr Phil had a whole show on this subject.  It was wonderful. See if you can search for it on his www.drphil.com website.   This part of childraising drives us all crazy.   If you knew how many of us struggle with this, you wouldn't be so frustrated.

Answer 3

offer for him to go in with you or your husband everytime you have to go....as gross as it is let him see and flush.....We never made a big deal of it and just letting him come in every time and see made him want to try more and after a week or so we let him go sans diaper and that encouraged him more....i kept in mind what time he usually went and then tried to rem. to ask if he had to go in to the bathroom with me to do .......???whatever put stuff away. clean etc. ......It seemed to work for us he was 25 mths when he was completely trained.....hope I helped a little

i do not have kids but i am a nanny! i just potty trained a 15 month old and a 3 year old in one week! buy cool cute underwear let them pick them out! get one of those little cute potty seats and if you put a diaper on them at night ONLY!!!!! put the underwear one first the diaper so they still get the underwear feeling! and i took both boys every 30 minutes! it was kinda a game! make it fun!! you will feel real silly but it will be fun!! i sit down in the bathroom and pretend to push with him !! (p**p p**p) that is! and if none of that works make them sit there till they go they will go !! then make a huge deal out of it!!
