My daughter is 2 & I haven't yet started potty training as I always thought it best to wait until they knew when they were needing a wee. My health visitor however has told me to start leaving her nappy off, I have twins who are only just on the move so I'll have to watch her very closely just in case she pees on them!!!
My friend gave me a good tip, she told me that when she potty trained her son she wouldn't leave him bare bottomed, she would put pants on him because when he wet the pants he didn't like the feel between his legs, after a while of wetting himself he started using the potty. Also she got him Postman Pat pants, he loves him so he didn't want to wee on pat!

Boys tend to take longer than girls and 33 months is still pretty early. I was told that anything older than 4 years old is late. My son just first started using the bathroom after going to preschool and watching the other boys. I didn't force him into anything.
I would say to just let him continue doing what he is doing but ask him more frequently if he needs to go potty or put a potty chair near him in his room or in the living room where he is playing.
I think he'll come around when he gets a little bit older but it is good that he is starting now.
I didn't try anything with the "cheerio in the toliet" or anything like that. When he's ready, it'll come to him. If you have a husband or boyfriend or his dad around that can kind of show him how he does it..it might help too!
Good luck!

Yes it's very hard to potty train my son just turned two and I am tying very hard to get him trained!
A tip that I have gotten form my sister who has a potty trained three year old is...
*make sitting on the potty a rewarding thing
we have a bag of Dum Dum's and he is only allowed to have a dum dum if he is sitting on the potty and he is not allowed to keep it if he does not go, however if he does go then he gets to keep his sucker and will also get another reward like being able to watch one of his favorite TV shows on demand. and we do a big huge happy dance and make it a celebration...
As to knowing when he has to go I just take his diaper off and tell him that he can NOT go pee pee on the floor and every 3-5 min I ask "do we need to go to the potty yet?" I don't know how well that will work for you if he can't talk at all but maybe you can read his body language.
Hmm..have you taken him to the doctor there may be more to him not talking yet that could link to other things...
I feel your stresses I hope the dum dum thing works for you if you decide to try it =]

I am doing exactly the same thing with my little girl and I agree with you its hard work!
I have a potty downstairs ( as i dont' have a bathroom downstairs ) and just keep askin her every half an hour or so if she needs to go or I just sit her down on it. 9 times out of 10 she goes other times she doesn't. I really praise her when she does, when she'd mastered that without me askin her, I've taken the potty away and encourage her to go to the bathroom which slowly but surely she's mastering now without my help! Were still havin accidents but I'm not gonna worry about it too much she'll do it in her own time as will your little boy.
I dont no if it's true or just an old wifes tale but i have heard that little boys can take longer than girls and not to rush them either sex that is!

Get rid of the nappies except for bedtime or when you go out just in case. When my son was your son's age i took away the nappies and i put a potty in its place. My son also used to piddle on the floor sometimes. All you can do is keep telling him to wee in the potty, i used to tell my son potty is for big boys. In the end he will get, but it is a very slow process.

i personally would have a chat with your health visitor, at 33 months he should really be able to say a few words, as for potty training i feel these playgroups and nurseries put far too much pressure on us to have them dry in the day. you know your son best and if he isnt ready yet then so be it. good luck xx

There is a portable toilet seat and catch that u can buy from the department store. Observe what time does ur son usually do it. Then introduce him to the seat as, let's say, his best friend. Then in the morning, remove his pajamas or whatever and prepare the seat. Let him sit there with ur presence to encourage him.It takes a lot of practice but in doing so as u expose him into something new. Good luck!
