I need help with potty training???????

Question

ok my son is 21 months and he has only pee-pee in the pot once. i really don't know how 2 go about teaching him 2 go pee-pee in the pot. so if you have any opinions on how i should going about it please let me know? and i was reading some1 else question about potty training and she said that she gives her little girl a reward every time she go pee-pee on the potty, what kind of reward do you suppose 2 give them? and how other should i let him sit on the pot? and 1 last thing, she i b worried he's not potty trained yet?

Answer 1

let him pee outside i know it sounds strange but i heard this after my second boy and my third boy was potty trained before he was two, i would just keep a close eye on him and when he would start to pee i would say his name he would stop peeing and look at me then i would take him outside, after a few weeks i would take him to the potty every couple of hours and now he does it on his own, p.s. keep resolve and odoban around.

Answer 2

my nephew wasnt potty trained until 2 1/2. My niece was potty trained at 2.  You can do a reward chart (everytime he goes put a sticker on there) and after he goes so many times you can get him a special surprise or you can give him a piece of candy if he goes pee if he does number 2 give him 2 pieces of candy.  You can either get a little toilet or you can get a little toilet seat that you put on a regular toilet.  

Answer 3

I think he's too young my sons doc said to wait till at least 2 1/2 or 3 to start on a boy... good luck if you do start though!  :)

Answer 4

My oldest wasn't fully potty trained till around his 3rd bday and still then I had to help wipe after bm's for a while longer.. I have a 25 month old son now and just now introducing the potty not that I really expect him to use it but having it around letting him know what its for and big boys use it... he gets the idea and will use it when he is ready. Put the potty where your child mostly plays because they aren't going to hold it all the way to the bathroom and when they are playing and get the feeling he'll look over and see potty and try it out.. and its okay to let little boys sit to pee in the beginning because they dint really know aim and all that.. although i have heard of putting fruit loops in the potty and encouraging your child to pee on them helps them go.. well good luck but 21 months is still pretty young..if he cant pull his own pants up and down yet or let you know when he is dirty don't try till that time comes... and if stays dry through the whole night. Good luck again

Answer 5

21 months is a little young but there is no problem with introducing him to the potty now. My 3rd son is now 2 1/2 and we are doing potty training right now. The method we have found that works is letting him run around naked. Believe me it works. You may have a few messes along the way but that's all part of it. We give lots of high fives and praise when he goes on the potty. So far so good. Hope this helps.

Hi Honey, i think he is a little young to be starting the potty thing! He is not eve 2 yet and probably sitll doesnt understand whats going on. My son only got fully off his nappies a month before his 3rd b.day.

dont stress, he will know when he is ready to go off the nappies. let him run around without a nappy over the weekend so he can get the feeling of not having a nappy on and he will soon dislike the the wet feeling! once my son got used to going to the toilet he started doing the number 2 in his pants and i dont think he realised that that had to go in the toilet aswell, so i made him dump the dump in the toilet and after 3 accidents and making him put it in the toilet (not liking that very much) started using the potty for both!!!

Hope this helps and good luck. dont stress just take it one day at a time.and dont pressure him otherwise he will not be interested at all.

21months is young... most boys (at least in the States) don't potty train until 2 1/2 and aren't completely trained until age 3.  Don't worry about it too much at this point.  Invest in books and videos about the potty (Once Upon a Potty or Elmo's Potty video).  Let your little one sit on his potty while you're going to the potty.  Read books on the potty to keep him happy to be there.  We gave our son an M&M (yes, just one - LOL a bag could last for weeks at our house, if Daddy didn't eat it so it needed replacement) whenever he went pee pee or poo poo.  

I'm a happy medium between the potty training "young" camp (that says you put your baby on the potty half hour after every meal/drink until they go) you're training yourself to watch for baby's cues, not teaching your child to recognize and go to the potty and the "they'll go when they're ready" camp (that says it's okay for your 4 year old not to be potty trained yet).  Do what works for your family, watch for signs of readiness (waking up dry from a nap, being able to tell you when he's gone potty in his diaper and wanting to be changed, interest in what you do in the bathroom), and then offer encouragement for when he goes.  We had the potty available and read books/let our son sit on it if he wanted to for months before we started potty training.  However, when we started potty training, we didn't use pull-ups (except at night), so our son would know when he was wet and we could deal with it immediately.  We also let him pick out "Big Boy Underwear" at the store.
