Answer 1

My wife is an expert on this subject; I hear from her constantly about all the parents of her daycare kids who have no clue about potty training, so I'll pass along what I listen to every day.

Most experts will tell you to wait until 24-36 months when the child shows "interest" in going potty. That advice, excuse the pun, is a huge diaper load. A child of two does not make decisions in their best interest. That is what parents are for. As soon as your child is old enough to sit up, start placing him/her on the potty regularly. There's no reason a child can't be potty-trained by 12 months, and in much of the world they are. Prolonging it to twenty-four months or more will make it more difficult, but the technique is the same.

Note when your child most often has bowel movements, and place him on the potty the same time every day. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to, you are in charge. Praise him every time he sits down and tries, reward him if he goes. A small candy works well, though one of my nephews preferred pennies (He's now an investment banker).

The main thing is not to give up. Don't let your child's screaming and whining defeat you. You are in charge, and toilet training is for his own good. Alot of psychology students will probably write in and tell you how you'll scar your child with forced training, but it's all nonsense. In most of the world children are potty-trained before age one, and until about fifty years ago, they were in the US as well.

Answer 2

My daughter started taking her pants and diaper off at about 8 mos. The first time I came into her room and she had wiped a poopy diaper all over everything in her room i bought a potty chair. LOL She is almost a year old and No, she's not potty trained but we do go sit on the potty chair immediately after she wakes up in the morning and after every nap. I also put her on the potty chair every time I have to go to the bathroom. When in public however I can't make myself hold her over a public toilet. I hate going in public places myself. :) Every child is different. My cousins daughter is almost 4 and still isn't potty trained.

Answer 3

There's no standard age at which a child is ready to start using the potty. But most children gain the skills they need to start training when they are between 18 months and three years old. Girls tend to be ready a few months earlier than boys. You don't have to wait until your child's achieved everything before you start training. It's more about spotting a general trend toward independence and an understanding of what it means to go to the toilet like a grown up.

Answer 4

My son was 3 years and 1 month old before he got potty trained. I was always in a rush to train him and but the truth is he will tell you when he was ready. My son just walked into the bathroom one day and sat down and pottied. I was so shocked because i bribed him and begged him to potty but he just wasnt ready. Dont worry it will happen just take your time and he will get use to the idea. Dont push him or he will get scaried of the idea of being a big boy

Answer 5

You have to take him to the bathroom every couple of hours and sit with him. (Plan out a long weekend to be in the bathroom) Oh and no pull ups! Kids just go in them anyway, I just put them in underwear and a shirt for a few days at home.
Trust me I potty trained both of my kids in a few days this way. You just have to talk about how cool it is to be a big boy and ask constantly do you have to go potty???

Answer 6

I hear that boys take longer to potty train than girls. My girls took until they were 3 to potty train. You have to wait for them to be ready to do it. It has to be their decision and forcing them is only going to make your task more difficult.

Answer 7

I wouldn't push it until your son shows interest. My son turned 2 in August and he showed interest a month or so ago and now, he shows none. I asked the pediatrician and he said he will train when he is ready.
If you push them, sometimes it will deter them more. He will do it when he is ready. I'm still waiting on that one myself...lol

Answer 8

You just hav eto keep him on the toliet. If dad is around, have him take him to the restroom about everyother hour so. So he can see a man do it. If not you do it . But be persistent.

Answer 9

give him a reward wen he uses the toilet.
