Is it time to get him a potty ? His day care wont potty train him until he is 2 . Will it be bad to potty train him at home and not at school?

See if it happens again and if it does, maybe he's trying to tell you he's ready to potty train. You can definetely start it at home.

Yes That Means That He Is Ready For The Potty My Daughter Is 16 Months And She Is Starting To Tell Me When She Needs To Go Pee And Poop. I Think That If You Get Him Use To The Potty HE Will Be Able To Go Potty At The Day Care

If he is doing that then I would say it is a good opportunity to introduce him to the concept of potty training.
If the day care won't help, then I would look for another day care that will, if that is an option, I know that day care is expensive and not always readily available.
Go ahead and start him at home and if he starts to get in the habit there then fine, after he takes a dump on the day care floor a few times, or he grabs a worker and heads to the bathroom maybe they will get the idea that it is time to help. At least at home maybe you can reduce the messes.
Good luck.

Sounds like he's tired of the diapers and is ready to be trained. Do it at home. I don't know why a day care would potty-train a child when they have so many other things to do. Train him at home and save them the headache.

my girlfriend works at a day care and this is what she said. if your child is ready to be potty trained, go for it. if you try and he just doesn't get the hang of it, try pullups. they are harder than diapers to get off and they may fix the problem. if your child does become potty trained before two, the day care has no choice but to let him use the potty. they just won't help you reinforce potty training until he is two. good luck!

nope!
get him a potty and let the training begin!
also, let the day care know that he has shown you he may be ready to potty train and you would appreciate any support they can provide. don't demand that they help in the potty training, but i have a feeling that your son will make it hard for them NOT to participate, especially if he is taking off his diaper to go potty!
they'll get sick of cleaning up after him and they will hop onto the potty train!!
take care and congrats on your little one being so independent!!!

no. i believe it is a good thing to potty train toddlers at home. i potty trained my children from the age of one- two. when they take off thier diapers, they are ready. one way of potty training is what i did, each time i used the restroom, i took them in with me and i sat them on thier potty while i sat on mine. each time they used thier potty, i clapped and praised them for a job well done and then they received a surprise. it was a lot of fun too! i wish i could turn back time and do it all again.

No, it's not bad to start potty training him at home. That's where it should start anyway. If he's handing you a diaper because he knows it 's uncomfortable to go IN his diaper...and he can apparently tell when he's about to go...I'd try easing him into it at home. Of course, don't be too hard-nosed about it. Make it a happy experience for him...otherewise you could sabotage his efforts...and here's a little hint that I used with my son. Once you get him started and he wants to do it in the BIG potty...get a little foot stool (because he won't be able to reach of course)...stand it next to the toilet and toss a few cheerio's in. Tell him to sink them...that way he'll aim, lol!

I'd say he's ready for potty training. A friend of mine potty trained her kids by giving them one jelly bean each time they put the plop-plops in the proper place. She made it something they wanted to do. Maybe jelly beans don't do it for your precocious little guy, but I'm sure there's something that will.
And you're the best person to potty train him. If that system doesn't work, there's all kinds of books out there about it.

lol... All THREE of mine have done that at that age. You can start potty training at home, but don't push. Undressing one's self is only one of the signs to look for when starting potty training. Its merely a sign that he's starting to grasp the idea that he isn't happy wearing diapers.

Theres your sign.....definately start the potty training my son was about 16 mo. when he jumped up grabbed himself and ran to the potty..take advantage of his desire to not poop on himself.. it shouldnt be a problem to do it at home and if hes doing well and wants to use the potty at school i cant see someone telling him no just because they dont start untill 2 if hes asking..good luck because in another few months hes probably gonna become very contrary
