| I'm expecting my first child, but worked in the behavioral field for many years. When potty training children, we had to break things down to very small steps. Like the other ladies said, find a week that you can concentrate solely on potty training. You can start with taking him to the potty every hour and keep him hydrated. A reward system really seems to work whether it is praise, stickers or candy. What I've also done is placed some cereal (Fruit Loops) in the toilet which made it fun for the boy to aim for. These things usually make the potty training fun for the child rather than aversive.
Good Luck!! |
