My little boy is about a year and a half. My daughter was around the same age. But she didn't have any sibblings then. The guide I used last time said that if there are sibblings it is a good idea to get a babysitter for them or leave them at a relatives house for a few days while you train. I do not have anyone to leave my girl with, and if I did I don't have the money to pay them. Have any of you potty trained a child while there were other young children present? Was it hard to concentrate enough on the one you were trying to train, and how successful was your attempt?

Sounds like you need to adjust your system. Just have the 3 year old go play in her room.

Whoa, wait a minute. If you potty train the boy without the girl there, he'll only be used to going on the potty WITHOUT her there. Think of how much of a help to him it might be to see that his sister goes on the potty, you go on the potty, and that now it's his turn! Definately keep your environment the same! He might feel like he's doing something forbidden, and that's why his sister has to be sent away. Just keep everyone there, and emphasise it every time someone goes. Jump up and down and clap and smile. Then let him try. He'll jump right into it faster knowing that everyone is doing it. I have 3 kids, and it just worked that way for me. Good luck to you! :-)

Tha is ridiculous, My cousin has 3 kids and never had to get a sitter to potty train. I believe they are saying that because they think the child will get distracted by playing with the sibiling. Just ask you child every 5 minutes if they have to go so they don't forget about it while playing? Also make sure your child is ready to train just because your daughter was at the age doesnt mean he is.

I am in the process of training my 16month old daughter and her brother is 3 also and he is potty-trained it helps to have him there he helps me sing the "u did it potty song." And it makes my daughter think shes even bigger because she is being like her brother. I have a potty chair that she uses and he uses the big potty at the same time.. It actually works alot better. I just tell him that if he wants to be in the bathroom then he has to go potty or he has to play in the playroom. If I was you I would use my daughters help... GOOD LUCK TO YOU>>>

Don't remove your daughter from your home while potty training - it's unnecessary! She could encourage her brother and maybe even give him a few reminders or tips! I applaud you for starting so early - my son was totally toilet trained by 20 months - we saved a fortune on diapers and pull-ups! Kids are smart - and boys are definitely easier to train that girls!!! God bless!

I must agree with the girls above me- Who the F**k wrote that dumb sh**. They obviously don't have children. Have you ever noticed the first people to write a book on parenting, are the ones who don't have children. And only having one child DOESN'T count!(Only someone with multiple children could understand that) My older children helped encourage the younger children to potty train. TIP -If your older child starts to wet her pants again, that is normal with some children. She just wants attention. Praise her for being all grown up.

I had a 5 year old daughter when I potty trained my son. I didn't send her away and didn't have any problems at all.

WHOEVER WROTE THAT BOOK DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT they learn more by watching each other but even though you do have a girl so what your little boy can train sitting down first anyway i that is how i tought my boy first then later on when he got the hang of it i taought him how to stand and aim and all that. So I would not go by what that book says and let your little boy watch his sister go that is how they learn the best is by older siblings.

I don't know what book you read, but it's full of ****! I had three kids and the older ones can help teach the younger ones. Have your daughter go first and make a big deal over it so the boy will want to try too. Quit trying to raise your kids by buying stupid books!!

Hey Jenny Your indoctrinated modesty is so warped. Do not allow your Puritan ideas to indoctrinate the false modesty of body shame. Your a family, don't fear the naked body or functions of nature. Especially in the security of you home. Shower together and/or bathe. Teach healthy body acceptance.Teach the truth.
