what are some good ways to potty train my 2yr old son.?

Answer 1

Here it is- it has worked for my 2 kids,and others after I tell them........

1. get m and m's handy
2. get a small potty chair
3. get a couple books about potty
4. you need to be home for about 4-5 days straight
5. now you can start. let them run around bare-but
6. Set the timer for 1/2 hour. Tell him/her to sit on the potty for 5 min. (read them a book in the mean time if it's to long for them.) If they go, give lots and lots of praise!!! I mean go crazy!! Give them about 3 m and m's.
7. Set the timer for 1/2 hour
8. Avoid asking the question "you got to go potty?'
9. Timer goes off- ok! What does that mean junior? Time to go potty again he or she would say, or you say it if they don't
10. repeat process all day long. If they go # 2 in the potty, reward with a handful of m and m's. They are very colorful and kids love them!!

11. Praise praise praise. I do spank my kids for behavior problems such as lying, disobedience, and bad attitudes, but never for having an accident. If there is an accident, clean it up queitly, and don't say much at all. Remind them it's ok, but try to make it in the potty next time, or in your own words.

Good luck!!! Hope this helps you. My girl was potty-trained in one day with the method. Took my son a week. Leave pull-ups on them at night just in case.
p.s. if this doen't work at all, try again in a few months.

Answer 2

In my experience, boys are a little harder than girls to potty train. My son was almost 5 when he was completly trained and my daughter was 2. The main thing is to be persistant, patient, and most importantly, make it fun. Don't wait until he has to go, take him regularly throughout the day even if he doesn't have to, just to get him in the habit of going. If he doesn't go that's fine. Just tell him we'll try again later. Also, take him every time you go. Some fun things to do is put cheerios in the toilet water. Tell him to see if he can hit them. Another fun thing is to put dishwashing liquid in the water and let him make bubbles. My son loved it! Buy him some "big boy" underware with his favorite characters on them. It's important not to scold him if he has an accident. And when he does go, you have to make a BIG deal out of it. Throw a party if you have to-seriously. I wouldn't reward him by buying him things though, because there will come a point when you have to say, okay your a big boy now so we don't have to go buy you a reward now.? This might actually backfire and make him regress on the potty training. Instead reward him by doing fun things!

Answer 4

I started out by buying a simple white potty that looked the closest to a regular toilet. No bells n' whistles. Then I got her the "Feel N Learn" pull-ups which are great because when they are wet, they feel wet to the child. Then we had a "sticker" program. I would put her potty in front of the toilet and we would both go potty together. Every time she was successful, she got a sticker that she placed on the bathroom cupboard beside her potty chair. That way she was able to see the rewards of her efforts. And I also made a big effort to praise her really dramatically! Then we'd both empty her potty into the toilet and wave and say "bye-bye peepees/poopoos, thanks for coming out!" She'd sometimes just sit on the chair and "pretend" to potty just so she'd get a sticker! But she quickly figured out that she needed to produce visible results... It took about 2 months. Then I took her shopping and let her pick out her own underwear (Dora). She was so happy to wear them and very, very proud. She had a few accidents but I never made a big deal out of them to her. It got tricky when we went out because it's important that as soon as said she had to potty, we had to pull over right away. I was sure NOT to fall back on the pullups just because we were out. It just prolongs the process. She was able to wear underwear during the day and a pullup at night. Then, eventually she lost the nightime pullup and I woke her at 2am and took her to the potty - every night for about a week. And then that was that.

Every child is different tho - the key is to make a big fuss when they go and not make a fuss if they don't. Good luck with it.

Answer 5

OK make sure you put him on the regular potty they feel bigger then show them that they have to ask you to use the potty and knowing how kids r hell try and do it him self. sooner or later he'll stop asking and you be fine just don't keep reminding him he has to ask u unless he pees or poops himself. don't start a night time yet it wont work. once he stops peeing and pooping himself during the day start taking his juice away 2 hours before he goes o bed but keep the pull-up or diaper on him then when u see he has stopped a week in a row tell him hes a big boy now and he doesn't need diapers or pull-ups. and make sure u don't give in don't let him use pull-ups or diapers after a while hell get out of bed and use the bathroom by him self. but never let him have juice after a while u can cut it down to 1 hour then at like 5 or six he can have juice when ever.

Answer 6

1. be patient
2. everytime you think he might want to go sit him on the potty.
3. if you allow him to watch tv or videos, let him watch them while sitting on the potty
4. and the most important, eveytime there is success, celebrate and tell him what a good boy he is.
It might take a while, mine started to get the idea when he was 2 years and 5 months old, and finally got totally trained about 2 months later.

Answer 7

Well one good way to get him on the track of wanting to use the toilet is if he has any friends or you know of anyone who may have a child who is either his age or older and is all ready being potty trained then have him go over to there house or have that child come to your's and when they have to go to the bathroom have your child watch them use the toilet. Then tell them that that child is using the toilet because they are a big kid now. then ask him if he/she wants to try. try to make sure that when the other child has finished going that you give him a treat or a reward that way your child see's that if you go on the toilet you get something from it. You may need to repeat this a few times just so he really gets the concept. But I know for sure it works.

Answer 8

Do a star chart and make the experience fun. Everytime he tries to use the potty/ toilet make a big fuss and let him put a star/sticker on his chart ( even if he does't do anything ) Then hopefully he will be more willing to keep trying. You could also give him a little reward ie a new toy if he manages to have a wee. Just remember it doen't happen overnight ! good luck !!

Answer 9
