he was doing really well for a while, but he decided that he would just keep going in his pants...we even took him out of pull ups and put him in big boy pants...but he still just went potty in his pants...we do take him potty, but he still won't try to go on his own...he will be 3 in Feb and quite frankly i am tired of changing dirty pull ups...

well first and foremost its really all about when he is ready. Sometimes pushing too hard can cause them to have anxieties. When my daughter was training she would go for a couple of weeks and then we'd be right back to square one. So what i would do is when she was on track i would praise her give her little stickers you know for a good job. Next we went out and bought this kids book called "potty time" it even had the flushing sound which helped her get use to the sound.... but eventually she just started when she was ready... but at no time did i ever make her feel bad because she had an accident because they say you should never punish them. The most important thing is to make it as comfortable for them as possible in the long run its better for you... good luck sweetie just be patient nature will take its course

BAN THE PULL UPS!! When I started potty training my son (who will be 3 in Dec.), I refused to put a pull up on him. They're just like diapers. Super absorbent, and not at all uncomfortable. When Andrew (my son) began potty training, I took a week off of work, and on a Monday morning, got him out of bed and got him dressed. The only difference being that I put "big boy" underwear on him, and explained to him that when he had to potty, he needed to let me know, because he didn't want to pee on his tonka trucks did he? (his undies had tonka trucks on them). Well, that was a laugh, because within five minutes he peed all over himself. But I kept going, and reminded him each time that he wet himself that he needed to go to the potty instead of in his underwear, and by Friday, I had a semi-potty trained big boy! I'd say it took maybe three weeks of constant reminding and dashing to the potty before he was good to go, but I never once put a pull up on him, even at bed time. Now he sleeps through the night with no accidents, and hasn't wet or messed in his underwear in about two months. Also, the "reward" program is worth a shot. Everytime Andrew made it to the potty on time, he got one skittle. (his all time favorite food) Anyway, best of luck in the potty wars! Don't give up!

reward him when you take him when he wake in the morning always put him on the potty first set the potty in front of the tv let him set there and dont rush are scold him. he will tinkle in time once he does reward him make a big issue like hug clap your hand call him mamas big boy. keep this up and in no time he will be wanting to sat on the potty wheather he has to use it are not for the attention, this takes time not a week process good luck

At this age he is intelligent enough to understand when you make a request for him to stop doing something. Be understanding if he "makes a mistake", like in the middle of the night, but tell him that now that he is older you must tell him that to continue going in his underwear all the time is dirty and he must take a bath every time he does this (unless he really enjoys the bathtub.) Also, think of a minor reward for preferred (not necessarily good or bad) behavior. Getting his favorite book read to him while he is on the toilet or getting to listen to his favorite song may also help. Good luck.

Maybe try the potty training videos and give him rewards when he goes in the potty. Sometimes just bribing does the trick.

Take him to potty and stay there. Make it a routine when he wakes up in the morning. He'll get used to it. It worked for my son why not with yours?

make him a chart with his favourite cartoon character on it and buy stickers of them, every time he goes in the potty give him a sticker on the chart and every time he doesn't, take one off. at the end when he reaches the top and uses the potty all the time buy him a toy of the character. my friends mom done that with her lil bro

one way is try to bribe him with some thing he really loves for example if like chocolates or candy. tell him if goes potty in the potty chair he will get one . but they really will listen to you when they really like something
