my son is 29 months old, how can i teach him to potty train?

Answer 1

Everyone always says they will do it when they are ready, but if your child is showing signs of being ready you can....
With my boys I would let them run around with no pants or undies on. I would keep asking them if they had to go and we had a few accidents, but they got in the hang of it. With boys you can also put fruit loops in the toilet for them to pee on. This sometimes works, but not always. We had a treat basket for one of our boys...just cheap stuff from the dollar store in it and if he went poopy he got to pick two things and pee he got to pick one. It worked really nicely. For our other son we used stickers. Just try a few things out and see what works.
Best of luck!
And remember, you will need lots of patience.

Answer 2

I taught my son at 24months , All I did was kept on putting him on the potty, every 45min, its tireing but it worked. I also bought the buzz pottytraining kit from the store. and everytime he went potty we gave him a sticker and he wore the crown. Another thing PullUps are night time pants , Not to be worn during potty training it misleads kids. I also work at a daycare and have seen pull ups be a very very bad thing , it confuses the heck out of kids... So my advice buckle down for at least a week , and do underwear , you will be doing a lot of wash but dont get discouraged, It will only get better. Just remember if he says he doesnt have to go , that means he probaly really needs to go. I would also set a timer when we went to the potty for like a minute then when it beeped we were done... HOPE THIS HELPS

Answer 3

It's best to start out explaining what your doing and why and that he understands that sometimes there will be accidents and that's OK. With my son I got him a small toilet seat to fit on the big one. I would buy him "big boy" underwwear. Then, I would have him sit there for a few minutes about every half hour and when I would get him to go a couple of times I would extend the time a little bit. When he did go each time I would reward him with a sticker that I would put or have him put on a piece of paper on the refrigerator. After successfully having him use the toilet regularly I would have him stand to pee and put Cheerios as a target he really enjoyed that and it was really successful. Good Luck and I hope you find the answer that best suits your needs!

Answer 5

This is what I did with both my boys. Around the age of 2 I purchased a potty chair with them. I told them what it was and how it was used. I put it in the bathroom and left it at that. I let them discover it on their own. When they seemed interested I took them to the store and we picked out "big boy underware" Not pull-ups or any other things that resemble a diaper but real underware with their favorite characters on them. Then I would put them in the underware and tell them "Try to keep Scooby (or Mickey or Batman or whoever was on them) dry. Then I would remind them throughout the day by saying "Lets try to go potty" If they said no that was fine. This is a learning process. They learned that if they were to wet themselves it wasn't very comfortable. The underware does not soak up the mess but it sure helps when they can actually feel the wetness and I was willing to clean up a few messes in order to have success at the potty training. After a few weeks of this they were going regularly. My 2nd child just naturally followed his brother in the potty training. He actually would cry if I put a diaper on him. So, I would let him just ware the "big boy underware" and it worked. Try it.

Answer 6

My first son didn't potty train until he was 3 years old. My pediatrician said not to rush him, it will only make it worse. Also, active boys take longer. My second son learned by the time he was 22 months old, but only because he had an older brother to watch. Every child is different, just don't rush him.

Answer 7

my first question to you is, does he want to? try putting a potty in the bathroom and see if he will sit on it when you are going. do not push it because you can traumatize him. if he seems interested, you can do what dr. phil suggests and have a potty party (you will need a whole day or afternoon for this), or just put some froot loops in the bowl and get your husband to show him how to "hit the froot loops" like it's a game. this works as well. just remember don't push him cus it'll take longer. check out dr. phils thing on dr.phil.com. it tells you step by step how to do it. personally, my son isn't ready yet and he's 27 months, so just take it easy and everything should be fine

Answer 8

Hello,
You can start now...but dont rush it..it'll haeppn when it does..
Well...experienced with 3 children- 4 and under-...at the moment...If you telll him or her that you have to go in the toilet and not in the diaper when you can tell they are going in the diaper.say..you have to do that in the toilet. and yo ucan start taking them to the bathroom..when they wake up..and ask them through out the dya if they have to go..and do you have a kid's toilet..thing..that you add on to the adult toilet..or if you have one that sits on the ground..
we have the one that you put on top of our toilet.which works good. the middle child went first..then the oldest went next.the 3 now 3 year hasnt gone yet.. but the 2 four year olds have...it takes time...
Good Luck..I hope this helped.
:)

Answer 9

I'm a mom of 3 and each time it was different. My daughter was the worst of the 3. I just put her on a schedule and she would watch her favorite show three times a day(Barney) and I would feed her sitting on her pot and she would watch Barney and after the end of the show I would sing with her and give her a treat. It really worked!!!!!

Answer 10

my daughters grandma taught her boys to sit down all the time and until they got bigger they understood how to properly use the bathroom.... she just wanted to make sure that the boys registered that if they need to go they just go, the rest was patience, and time.
