You have to devote a week to his training. Do it before it gets too cold. Put him in training undies and take him to the potty every 20 to thirty minutes, whether he's said anything about the bathroom or not. Each time you want to take him make the happiest face and seem excited that you're both going! Also a radio in the bathroom is always a good incentive for him to go and to stay. NEVER let the radio out of that bathroom. Soon he'll associate the bathroom with fun. Don't take him out for a week, because you'll be back to square one. At night stop offering fluids about 2 hours before his bedtime and if he asks only give him a LITTLE. If you hydrate him in the day, he won't be thirsty at night. Then DON"T put the diapers on him anymore.
Also when he wakes up in the morning the very first thing you do is run him to the bathroom. Do these things for one week and by the end you can get yourself a well deserved massage with the cost of the diapers you'll be saving!! You've earned it!! ;o)

My son was 3 in January also. In June I put him in underwear. He did pee in it but i dealt with it. You can not make or yell at the kids because they are not potty trained. I know all parents want there kids out of diapers it is the owrst thing to change a poopy diaper of a 3 year old. what I did was took him to walmart, had him pick out the big boy underwear. Then we went into the toy section and I had him pick out a toy. When we got home he wnted so badly to open it. I told him that toy is for big boys and a big boy does not wear diapers. the toy sat on my tv center for about a week. he successfully peed and pooped in the toilet and never wet the bed. I tried the cheerios and other thing others told me. it never owrked and i would just get mad. I lso told my son he couldnt go to school unless he was a big boy. this september he stated nursery school.
Lots of luck to you.

If it is any consolation my three year old is not potty trained either. He has no interest either. He will cry if I put him on the pot. He will train when he is ready is my thoughts. My daughter was completely trained at two. My son will run from you when it is time for a diaper change. I assure you your son will not be sixteen and not trained. I am not being mean. I have just come to realise kids develop at their own speed. I understand your frustration. I am sure your little boy is wonderful in other ways. He will train soon. Mark my words. Janine

When the kid's ready, he will do it on his own. Believe me, I was frustrated when my son didn't want to be potty trained - I thought people were looking at me like I was a bad mom for not potty-training him. I'd take him to the "big potty" every once in a while to try, but he didn't want to go there.
If I remember right, he finally decided he wanted to go in the big potty sometime when he was 3 years old. Since I did take him there occasionally, he already knew what to do.

At 3 he should of been introduced to potty earlier, like at 2, so he got used to just sitting on it, both my sons had no problems and were dry during day at 2 and a half, and at night before they were 3. keep giving him encouragement, and emphasis he's a big boy now and that only babbies wear nappies, let him buy some pants with you that he likes, ie spiderman etc and he won't like to pee on spiderman etc.praise him for each time he manages, sing a song like peepee in the potty.

Don't panic! I teach Sunday school to 3 year olds and it is not all that unusual for kids not to be potty trained by 3. They are all on a different time cycle, keep giving encouragement to use the toilet. It will happen in time. Hope this helps.

They can pull up their own pants
They can tell you when they want to go to the toilette
Dress him in pants only and give him a lot of water. Let him sit on the potty every half hour. (Make it fun - read books etc.)
If he does "it" in the potty, make a big fuss.
He will start to make the connection.
Never be cross if he makes a little mistake, everybody does.

You have a big job on your hands and its going to need full concentration. Choose a day when you will be at home all day. Sort out hours of the day, start out with minutes first and put him on the pot every 30minutes even if he doesn't want to. Try finding something to occupy his time while he is on the pot. get him a book to look at. You always to get a child into reading even when they are young because of times like these. Let him listen to music, or try singing children songs to him ewhile he is on the pot. When he does #1 or #2 reward him with some kind of fruit or snack. Once he is getting better at it change the time to 1hr at a time. In between those times still always try to put him on the pot while you are going to the bathroom. Please gt back with me to see how things are going!!!!!!

Sounds to me like he's embarassed of his diaper. Its probably just a security to him as he probably knows by now when he has to go.
Offer rewards... stickers, cookies etc for going on the big boy potty. It will be freeing for both of you once he starts going on the potty.
Lots of positive reinforcement thats what its all about mom!
