The best way to potty train a child is to have....patience! For my first child, I was in a rush to train him, and I think that my frustrations just made it worse for him. I was much more relaxed for the second. There is absolutely no rush, when they are ready, they will use the toilet. Use a lot of praise, maybe even have a bowl of sweets to give when they did the "job", but don't scold when accidents happen. With twins, they will probably learn off of each other! Good luck, and remember, it's ot a race, it may take months and months to get through this! In thirteen years, you will be wishing for the simple two year old problems :)

Let me preface this by saying you really can't until they are ready.

But I think you can help them get ready. I started talking about the potty alot to my son. I bought a potty chair - poor kid wouldn't sit on it with his pants down w/o crying. We kept talking about the potty and bodily functions (lol). About what he had done in his diaper (not being critical, just matter of fact) and how big kids and mommy and daddy used the big potty.

Then I bought some printed underwear for him. He loves Thomas the Tank Engine and the movie Cars, so we purchased Cars and Thomas underwear. I taked to him about when he was a big boy, he could wear the "big boy underwear". After about a week of that, I asked him if he wanted to use the potty and to my suprise, he said yes. It took a few days for him to actually go on the potty, but once he realized what we wanted, he has done great. He has only had a couple of accidents a day. He still doesn't get pooping in the potty, but we are well on our way!

Best of luck to you!

For boys, I've heard you can put cheerios in the toilet and make them aim for them.

Girls, you have to explain to her when she gets that feeling that she needs to potty, to let you know. Take her in the bathroom and don't stare at her or try to force her to go. It takes a lot of patience. It took two months for me to train my 1 1/2 year old daughter (who is almost 4 now).

Praise them when they go on the toilet. Jump up and down, kiss and hug them and tell them how proud you are for them wanting to go on the toilet like a big boy/girl. Really and truly, all it takes is you spending some time with them on it, praise, patience, patience, patience. Don't get discouraged, they will move at their own pace, but as your mother potty trained you, you can do it for your kids too. You can't rush something like this, so don't forget to be PATIENT...Good luck, happy potty training!

Positive reinforcement works great! Don't force them, they may not be ready yet. Give them some water to drink, sit them on the potty and wait awhile. Eventually something will come out and they will be able to see how excited you are. Hopefully they will want to do it again just to see the expression on your face. You could also keep a potty chart with stickers for them.

make it fun... summer time is best really..... reward them if only they do a wee or poop in the potty..never get cranky with them if they make a mistake or they will become scared of the whole thing... just make it fun and be persistant and patient... maybe try getting them to sit on the potty certain times each day.. make it routine everyday then they will just automatically do it.. some kids take longer tham others.. in my experience girls seem to master the potty quicker than boys.

If they arent ready to potty train, it doesnt matter what you do to train them. I have always heard that twins are a little slower to do things than a single birth. My cousins twins were very slow learning to talk to others. They jabbered to each other and understood eachother but no one else did!

Just be patient.....when they are ready they will train.

Geez!! You've got your hands full...every child potty trains in his/her own time...I find that boys are easy to train..but you have to keep telling them to aim down...my son is 2.5 and he TRIES to go on the potty...going pee..he'll tell me right away..AFTER he poops..he'll come in saying "I stink"..then I have to say...TOO LATE FOR POTTY!! Just have patience and once you start...you need to keep it up..Our 5 yr old...when he was potty training..I found it hard to keep up with not letting him use his diaper...they will eventually get grossed out by what is in their pants and the training will be easier then... good luck
