Potty training - should I give up this time round ?

[Biggie]

Glad to report some progress. My boy wet his pants a bit, then run to the toilet, and finishes off there!

Thanka2, I like the matchbox tcar idea. My boy loves them, and it would also satisfy my toy-buying interest:)
Nicole, I also like your idea. Am thinking of trying it too, now that I know your daughter also said no. The slight problem is that we are leaving here in less than 3 months, might be a bad time to start. But might take it little by little.

It took me two week even with the no nappy wet floor approach...keep going. Make sure you tell him "not on the floor must wee wee in the potty / toilet" very time he has an accident. Keep going you're probably more than half way there...

Jenn - I would just go for it. Three months is a long time for them when they are so little. He may be completely trained in that amount of time!! And if not, you can continue when you move, might be a bit of a bump in the road but shouldn't be TOO bad...

Boys do take longer and as long as they're introduced to it, little by little they'll grow used to it. My son is 3 now and is OK with peeing but the pooing is still not there yet. He insists on pooing in a nappy. I haven't been too harsh as I know my son doesn't like being 'forced' to do something he doesn't like so I don't want to make it a bad experience for him. This said, I will try to have him totally trained by the end of this summer as he's starting kindy in Sept. I like the ice cream idea coz mummy can join in on the celebrations!

So much time and patience. I donor know why pooing always the hardest
