I work full time, how to I able to toilet train a 25 mths old boy when i am at home?

Answer 1

First- Boys take awhile to potty train, my son is 3 and is totally up to speed, and is still in pull ups! They need rewards, so always remember that. Everyone else that say's to work with your daycare provider- you just need to find something that works for you and then teach it to your daycare provider to enforce. At home, we come up with a routine- When we first get home for the day, we ask if he has to potty, then right after dinner we ask, and right when he get's changed for bed, and if he has a bath that night before he get's in the tub he always goes! You have to find a reward system though- We have a "Potty Box" where we put all sorts of things that we know he loves (cars,planes,trains, books, playdough etc) in the box, and everytime he goes potty h e get's a new treat- but the trick with that is, he can only get a reward like that for going on the pot. We had to stop buying things when we go shopping for him(well if it's a little thing and he was really good we give in) so that he knew, he only get's rewarded when he goes on that pot!
I hope that helps, it still is taking a while, but it's the best routine we have found.

Answer 2

A Reward Box program is designed to motivate. Rewarding your child is an appropriate step in the potty training process and one that will possibly make your child a little less resistant. Each time your child uses the potty, let him/her put a reward sticker on the path on top of the box. Once your child has filled all seven spaces on the chart, celebrate by letting him/her reach in the box and pull out a toy reward.

The Reward Stickers are removable, so when you are ready to start another cycle, simply remove the stickers from the path and you are ready for another round of success. This is an exciting milestone! Make this process like a game and you and your child are guaranteed to have a lot of fun while accomplishing a monumental task!

Answer 3

I have always worked, it's hard, but it can be done.
Work together with whoever keeps him during the day.
Make it fun at home....boys are easier to train than girls. Throw something in the toilet that he can "aim" at - make it a game and he will love it.
Those cool alert pull ups work pretty good too!

Answer 4

Make it into a game. Get some Cheerios and drop them into the toilet. Tell him that you want him to show you how many "ships he can sink". Just keep a bowl full of Cheerios next to the toilet so every time you two can do that than eventually he will do it without them. Tell your child care provider not just to change his diaper. Tell her to ask if he needs to potty and to take him to the bathroom when she does change his diaper and make him try.

Answer 5

This is what a daycare worker friend of mine says. First, tell your son's teacher that you want to start potty training. You will need her help. Second, pick a weekend to start. I found the book "Potty training for Dummies" incredibly helpful despite the silly name. Reinforce when you're home. Oh, and take your son to the potty first thing when you get him up and last thing before he goes to bed.

Answer 6

who takes care of your child during the day? because that person will be responsible for the majority of the toilet training. You can't expect your son to learn it, if you're only training when you're home.

Find out how the person watching your son is doing it during the day, and then continue that when you are at home with him.

Answer 7

Who watches him during the day?
On the weekend (get one free) put child in regular undies
Work with him all weekend starting Friday night
Make sure plastic is on mattress
Have him change himself if he wets
If all goes from bad to good have babysitter continue
otherwise wait several weeks because the age is around 2 1/2 years

Answer 8

Talk to your day care provider. Find out what they are doing to potty train and then follow that system at home.
