If dad is in the picture, have him make it special to have son on his potty chair while he is going. My oldest son trained the day before he turned 3. No accidents. I said if he could stay dry, he could stay in "big boy" pants. If he wet, he had to wear a "baby diaper". Don't hurry him. Be gentle. Every child trains differently. Boys usually train later than girls. Your child is normal so don't worry.

My middle daughter will be three years old this Sunday,and she too has big time problems with potty training!
She goes in the potty when she wants AND she also goes in her pull-up when she wants!
I just keep calm.B/C there IS nothing that I can do,that will potty train her compleatly at this time.
I know she wont have this problem by the time she starts kindergarden for crying out loud,SO I just go with the flow .You know?
I could see where it would be a big thing if you were in a play group with other children his age that are already potty trained,and only there would it be an imbarrassment,but if you are mostly at home and there is not a crowd of people to be confronted by ,then I would say it,s not a biggie,
the potty trainning prosses takes A WHILE!
It was the same thing wit hmy oldest,she is now 6,but she wasn't fully potty trained untill she was 3!
Don't worry !
This too will pass!
Good luck!

Does he have a potty chair?Neither of my children cared for the potty chair.We bought one of those padded seats and a step stool w/grips on it for the toilet.whatever you do, don't make it a negative experience for him.Don't punish or fuss on him for not going in the potty.It's so true that they will do it when they are ready.Your job is to encourage and praise.If he does even the tiniest bit in the potty make a huge deal out of it.We sang the potty song.It was helpful for my son to watch his daddy.And watching another young boy is great as well.I would also ask my kids all day "Do you need to go?" to help remind them that the potty was an option.I wouldn't put him in under pants until he has starting using the potty some.You can buy those training pants that are really thick.They do absorb a little more than regular under wear; a little less for you to clean. Yeah, you're probably going to clean up some messes but it helps them realize their diaper isn't there as a safety net.Just remember you will survive this.

And the answer is......patience, patience, patience.

They shouldn't call it potty training. Rather parent training.

You have left out a lot of details. Did he start to use the potty and then stop ? Is he uncomfortable, like he's trying to hold it in ? Is he not listening to his body ? Are you pushing him because of his age ?

I have found that a child will not train unless they want to. My first girl trained at 3 1/2, my son at 3 1/4 and my youngest daughter at jsut past 2 years. I tried to push my first daughter at 2 1/4 and we battled for about 6 months before I realized that it wasn't going to happen no matter how much I begged, pleaded, bribed or rewarded.

As to a gentle way to do this, here goes. First, try to let him run around in the buff as much as possible. One less obsticle. Next, ditch all the diapers. If he thinks that there is a diaper as a back-up somewhere, he's going to do what he can to get you to use it. Now, pay close attention to when he does go to the bathroom. Does he need to go as soon as he wakes up in the morning or after nap ? Does he always seem to go at midmorning ? Is he a night pooper or a morning pooper ? Try to steer him into the bathroom a little before his bodily appointed time to see if his body ' has any surprises ' for him. Also get him to sit on the potty every hour, just in case. Make it interesting in the bathrooom for him. Special in the bathroom books to keep him sitting quietly. I didn't do this, but, my friend swore by taping a lollipop to the bathroom door frame as a bribe/reward for putting something in the pot. And, of course, have him try just before leaving the house, at every errand run where you trust the bathroom and just before bathtime and bedtime.

Good luck

Boys take much longer to use the potty than girls, and your son is a little young for it. He must by now, know what it is for and will use it when he is good and ready - so dont make a chore out of it. Also, I like the ping-pong ball suggestion from one of the other answers.

Its because of the baby. We had this problem with our son. It is a faze, but you have to stop it. Give him a big boy job to do. Tell him that he is a big by and big boys go to the potty. get him a stool, maybe he wants to stand up like dad. If you have a man in the house, have them take the boy to the bathroom. You may also have the poo problem, some boys like to go hide in the closet and poo in their pants, so watch for that one too.

I've heard of this working from frustrated mothers. Put something safe that floats into the toilet (Fruit Loops or Cheerios work) and place a small sturdy stool in front of the toilet. Help him to aim at the floating object. You're going to have to keep a sharp eye on him after he's successful so that he doesn't start throwing all sorts of things into the toilet to test his aim.

running around naked helped all my kids hike up the heat let him drop the skivys and take him to sit on his potty when you go to sit on yours.
He's a boy has no aim make him sit and lean forward.

My 5 year old didnt start till he was 3 and had accidents till he was 4
My 2 year old on the other hand has been doing it since he turned 2 in feb and full trained since sept.
