I was given this adivce with my first son and it worked great for us. It' amazing how quickly they learn to be self sufficint. Just passing on some Good ol'e advice from a really great mother and grandmother. I hope whatever method you use, it goes smoothly.

I still ask Joshua every once in a while if he needs to go potty, but most times when he needs to go he runs right over to the little potty by himself and goes (I still supervise) but with the big potty, Britt will always need your help. getting on and off. Ask around and see if anyone has one to loan you (or if there is a kids consignment nearby they may have one for less $) And I too, like Sis Regina, give rewards when we first started it was for both #1 and #2 he has now started forgetting to ask for his "chocolate" (mini m&m's) so unless he asks I don't give it anymore.Kelly Spezzanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099958814823472535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35729821.post-85524343764461437582010-11-16T10:58:38.163-05:002010-11-16T10:58:38.163-05:00Danielle, coming from training 3 boys, I would wai...Danielle, coming from training 3 boys, I would wait. Completely give it a rest, and then start after the Holidays and things settle back down. I also would recommend the book "Potty Training in Less than a Day". I don't agree with all aspects of the book, but I do think it has a really good base plan. (No potty seats why make more work for you?) Main objective, give a LOT to DRINK and ask constantly if have "Dry Pants"...that's the conncection. Take every 10 min to potty until pee-pee then space it out longer. Cheer like crazy when there is success and make sad yucky (not mad) face when wet. Have him remove yucky wet pants. Then give new dry pants (let him feel the dry pants) and say, "Dry..Dry...mom & dad love Dry pants!!...Not wet pants. Continue this process and hopefully things will click!! I also, always taught my boys to pee-pee standing up, like big boys. Mom's have different opions on this one, but that's what worked for me. It also made it more visual for them. :) Hope it goes well for him and you! - God Bless, Sis. Regina p.s -I also gave rewards for SUCCESS!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
