Ideas on potty training a boy!

Question

he is 2 years old,

he sits down on the toilet but then tries to get off,

he doesnt like it at all.

im a single mom, and i have no idea how to tell him to pee!

Answer 1

my son is 3 and half and hes only been clean during the day for 8 months dont worry he will do it when hes ready the more u push him the less likely he will do it...all i did was ask him if he needed to wee every half hour and keep the potty in the room i was in...he would often run around with just pants on...then he jus decided that he would go and did it on his own...xx

Answer 2

i am not a parent but i had to help and deal with this when i was babysitting... one thing is to have target practice throw a cherrios or something in there and tell him to aim at it and you can give him treats for peeing or something he likes... the kid i dealt with got one junior mint if he peed or pooped in the potty, and you can make the treat whatever you want

Answer 3

You could make him sit there until he goes. My mum used candy for us...we would get an m&m if we went.

I was reading an article somewhere on a woman who has a "potty training boot camp". She guaranteed she would potty train in one day. Basically, she fed them snacks and drinks that made them really thirsty, and told them they had to use the toilet if they had to go to the bathroom. If the didn't, they had to clean up their own mess.



Sounds harsh to me...they will potty train when they are ready, and not before then.
