Potty Training...

[WODIN]

Advice please....

I still can't seem to hit the bowel all the time like I am suppose to be doing.

Has anyone tried videos when potty training toddlers? Mine are 17 months and damn does the poo smell.

I was thinking of getting this video....

With our daughter, my wife would take her in there with her, and act like it was fun.....she picked it up real quick. Never tried a video, but books helped her.

I'm more interested in training you...May I?

This may sound silly... Bri was trained with the thoughts of her being able to swim at our club. I told her that in order for her to be able to swim she could not wear a diaper.

SHE made up HER mind that being trained was important....

Vix I'm all yours.

The kids are showing all the signs and stuff. So its time to start....oh joy.

Vix....that's the way my daughters were trained. It works too.

We would just tell my daughter that we really wanted her to go in the "potty".

When she actually did it one day... WE MADE A HUGE DEAL OUT OF IT! We just went on and on about how proud we were of her. It worked and she really wanted to get the praise.

BTW, the same approch also worked the first time she made Honor Roll at school...... she hasn't missed Honor Roll in 3 years now.

My husband said to our son "You're not going to be wearing diapers anymore. You're going to wear underwear like a big boy,"

And that was it. He peed in his bed twice, and never wet his pants.

neener neener neener

 

[WODIN]

LOL! good one vdl.

When they have an accident...rub their nose in it. Oh and a rolled up newspaper as a motivational tool and......wait a minute, you're talking about kids right?

Nevermind............

Try getting a good seat on the toilet before letting it go, this may help you.

Seriously, my girls have been easier than my boys. We get to work on my 9 month old son here soon. Actually I can probably do him just like the dog, just open the back door and let him out.

Potty training

YIKES

*chill runs down my spine*

This ONE THING alone would keep me from EVER having another baby!

Keep trying different things until you find the one that works. Each child is an individual and responds differently. One thing though - once you decide to do it.... DO IT! Be consistent, praise them when they do well and negative reinforcement helps even THE MOST stubborn of children (like Vix said "You wanna swim in the pool - ya gotta be out of diapers." This is STILL negative reinforcement, but it is WAY COOL because you leave it TOTALLY UP TO THEM.). BUT - if you have a way stubborn mofo for a kid, better have MOUNDS of patience and get ready to handle some REALLY, REALLY GROSS situations.

But TRY to remember eventually THEY ALL get trained. It doesn't take forever, only SEEMS like it does. LOL

GOOD LUCK YOU OLD BASTARD!

My daughter was interested in it briefly at 18-mos, reverted back, and didn't really get interested in it until a little less than 2 years. We didn't push her at all, we figured she'd do it when she was ready.

One thing we did was we did not use pull-ups -- they are too comfortable for a kid. Also, our daughter associated diapers with being a baby and didn't want to be thought of as a baby. She went straight from diapers to normal underwear.

We also made a "Potty Chart" (a big piece of graph paper) and hung it on the bathroom wall at her level. Every time she did her thing, we gave her a sticker to stick on the potty chart -- she liked this concept quite a bit.

We didn't ever use a video or anything, but we did read "Goodbye Diaper" to her pretty regularly.

My son at 17 mos has shown absolutely no interest in potty training yet.

My daughter trained easilly. She disliked wearing diapers, so when we were at home, I started letting her run around without any bottoms on. I had 2 potties for her, one to keep in the family room and one in the bathroom. She HATED sitting on it though. I also switched from disposable diapers to cloth diapers and rubber pants...just folded up the cloth and tucked it inside the rubber bottom. She hated that even more than the disposable diapers but I told her that unless she went in the potty, she'd have to wear those. Then when she didn't want to sit on the seat, I tried just placing an open cloth diaper on the potty and that helped a bunch...maybe it was the cold hard plastic that she disliked. Anyway, within 2 weeks she was trained. She never wet the bed and only had a few accidents in her clothes. I did this when she was about 2 months shy of turning 2 y.o.

Kids aren't always ready to train at a certain age though...take clues from the child.

Make their mother do it! What's wrong with you? If their mother can't do it make an example out of her!


Our daughter was real easy for my wife to potty train.

 

[WODIN]

First off I had to leash train him and took him
out side and said: "come on baby lets tee tee".
It worked for him.

Oh, sorry I don't have any kids...

I used a shock collar to train mine! If I would have known the magic words"tee-tee" it would have saved the pup some pain.
Only kidding

Parts of it. I don't think i saw the part you'll probably refer to. Nothing involving poop.

Why do you and me often get in conversations about poop?

I think feces is the tie that binds us. We are poop brothers.
