2.6 yr old son, very shy for a potty training.?

Question

We have been trying to help him potty every time since he was 2yr.
he imitates back to us, as though he tries in potty seat, but never does it. Do we have to wait still more.. let me know if u have any different ideas pls..

Answer 1

I am atoddler teacher and I know that children have an opening between the ages of 18 months to about 22 months and the after that you have to wait till they are about 3 so your just going to have to lay off until he is 3

Answer 2

hi, well i had the same problem too and so i researched like crazy on the subject. from what i've read, pediatricians and child psychologists all say that a child shouldn't be forced to potty train if he's not ready yet, that in fact, if a child is forced before he's ready for such an act, it might cause him stress and some emotional problems in the future (which scared the heck out of me when i read it). anyway, the child would supposedly do the thing on his own on his own time ... and that worked pretty well for me and my daughter. i didn't force her to potty train but i did buy her a potty and i told her what she's supposed to do with it, and i did encourage her but i let her be until i saw she was showing interests on the thing, and right now, at 3 1/2 years old, she's a happy potty-trained baby.

Answer 3

as a mom of 2 (6yr and 4yr) i know where you are coming from, i had a really hard time with my son as well..he was almost four b4 he was totally trained, so first off do not freak out about it...there are several things you can try
-cheerios....throw a handful in the potty, and tell him to pee on them...then it becomes a game
-also try one of the special potty seats that is jsut a seat that fits into the full size potty lid, this worked good for my boy casue then he was just like his daddy, and he felt more like a big boy
-when ever you are home let him wear real undies not pull ups that pull the wetness away from the skin, he will realize faster that is not a good feeling to be wet and wanna stay dry

i hope some of this helps you and good luck

Answer 4

All I did was throw the diapers away and put my son on the toliet(not potty chair).From what I can see of my little cousins they will wait until they go to school.I see no reason for a 3,4 or 5 year old to be peeing and pooping in a diaper.this is what is wrong with our kids and parents now a days.A kid says no or refuses to do something and the mother says it`s ok you are still young.Toliet training is a natural thing in a persons life.A 2 year old is well capible of using the toliet.I have 6 kids(all boys).5 was toliet trained at 2 and the 6th one was toliet trained at 22 months.None of them has emotional problems and other then the fact of throwing away the diapers and telling them they had to use the toliet,they was not forced to or made threats to.When a 2,3,or 4 year can refuse to use the bathroom and a mom makes up excuses for why their child is not using it that is a sign of a parent who has no control on their child at a young age and the childs behavior will only get worst.......................................Now i feel special.The person named me made a yahoo answer account just to respond and try to insult me.Get a life.Not my fault you can not toliet train your kid.You are the failure teaching you kid to be a failure who ever you are me.

Answer 5

HA! A boy?! have faith me, daycare does no longer anticipate a 2 12 months old boy to be potty skilled. My husband and that i attempted and tried with our son and everybody suggested 'he will do it while he's waiting'. They have been suited. sooner or later he desperate to apply the potty and he never appeared lower back. i might save on attempting with him, yet you will no longer have the skill to tension the subject to get him to learn. We had my daughter potty skilled at 18 months, my son replace into 3 a million/2 years old! It regarded like something replace into incorrect, yet all the different mothers knew it replace into in elementary terms a boy factor. No concerns : )

Answer 6

no offense , darlene, but perhaps you should try to get some sort of a grasp on the english language before you start giving other parents advice. you write like you're a 22 month old. which makes your credibility on this issue nonexistent.
children will all tackle this daunting task at different ages. encourage them to use the potty but do not force it on them. allow them to watch you "do your business" when appropriate. talk to them about using the potty. understand that the more you push them the more intimidating the process becomes.

Answer 7

With my 2, I just let them decide when it was time. My daughter (who is developmentally delayed) trained fully 2 weeks before her 4th bday, and my son trained at around 3. I didn't push them at all and once they started it only took a week for them both. My advice is not to push the issue, and give positive reinforcement only, NO negativity. They will have accidents, and don't punish or make fun of them for it. Good luck!

Answer 8

My son wasn't potty trained until close to 4. I never pushed it, he trained himself and when he was ready, he was fully trained day and night. He did everything himself almost over night!
When I tried to push it, he fought me every step.
Every child is different, and boys are slower.
A sticker chart is fun too!
Good luck and relax....

Answer 10

Give him time. He might be 3 before he is fully trained. Let him mimick and one day he will do it on his own.
If you pressure him, it will halt all progress.
