It helped my son to pee standing up so he could see what was happening and connect the sensations. What worked for him is The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com This stool makes every toilet kid-sized. With this stool, my son can easily stand to pee into the toilet. The handles on this stool make all the difference. My son and daughter potty trained quickly because they were so excited about this stool. They loved using the big toilet because they know that is what everyone uses. I like that it is sturdy and safe and got them out of diapers fast. The best part is kids use it for years. Hope this helps.

I have 3 children, all of whom were fully potty trained by age 2. I was adament that I my children would be introduced to the potty at a young age and that they knew that that was where they "went". It also helped that the older ones were there as role models, in a sense.
I think your best option, since he isn't ready for the potty yet, is to make sure that he always has on pants that he can't unbutton (jeans are prob best). If he keeps taking his clothes off and "going" on the floor just keep telling him, in a stern voice, that it's bad and if he has to go then he should use the potty.
I do, however, disagree with the posts that say to give the child a treat for going on the potty. The only "treat" that my kids got after they used the potty was an over-zealous "Yay! You did it! Great job! What a big girl you are!" I don't feel that children should be rewarded for things that they should be doing anyway, but that is just my opinion, I'm sure alot of people will disagree!

I have a 2 1/2 yrs old girl, and at around your son age, she take off her diaper but not was not using the potty. Now, I bought her a potty watch. I set it for every 90 mins its play a music tone and she will get all excited over it and start using the adult toilet. You should make potty training exciting with rewarding stickers or ice cream. I recommend skipping the little potty and go straight to the adult seat. That way, you only train him once and avoid retraining him to use the adult seat. For the potty watch, go to www.pottytimeinc.com and search for potty watch. Good luck. And, if he doesn't keep the diaper on when he doesn't go the restroom, warn him about "timeout"

Forget about the potty for the next month or so. He's still pretty young. You don't want to force the potty if he isn't ready. It will make training more difficult in the long run. My daughter takes her diaper off too. We switched to pull up and haven't had a problem since. Good luck!

You can actually guide him through the floor cleanup (yes, let him use the paper towel on part of the cleanup), talking to him about how going in the potty means you don't have to clean up--don't make a huge deal of the potty, though; focus on how peeing and pooping on the floor mean we have to clean up afterwards.
Your local library probably has videos and books aimed at his age for potty training--those are great ways to start as they identify with somebody their size who uses the potty. Also, take him to the store and have him pick out some underwear. And maybe see if you can locate a Montessori toddler teacher/directress through a Montessori school (online or in person) and see if they have advice. They often potty train kids his age.

Don't loose your patience. He will eventually start using the potty. Be patient. Try to encourage him. Let him decorate the potty with stickers, or draw on it. Make it into a game. I used to allow my daughter to walk around without pants on. She'd pee on the floor, and I'd just clean it up. She potty trained very easily as a result. She learned about her body, and her functions. I let my son walk around like that, too. Once he was playing in the mud out back, playing happily, and he did a big poo on the ground. Try not to create stress around potty training. It could back fire on you in a major way! Especially boys can end up withholding their poo, sometimes for over a week. Then you have to give them enemas. They have to drink laxitives everyday. Just be patient with your son. These things all work themselves out with time, love, encouragement, and patience, patience, patience. 22 months isn't that old! :-) He's not even two! So sweet. Some kids take their time! Just love him as much as you can now while he's so little.

i have a 2 yr old and he is fully potty trained. this is what worked for me, whenever he takes his diaper off take him to the potty and make him stay there until he goes. when he is done give him a treat, maybe a piece of candy, a small toy, anything to make him excited to go potty. he will catch on and look forward to going potty if he gets something in return.

My 18 month outdated does the comparable component. She takes her clothing off, diapers off, and that i even tried pull united statesand she discovered you may rip the standards I could positioned a onsies on her at mattress time and could save an eye fixed on her in the process the day. It does sound like your little woman is waiting for potty training only like mine pass purchase her a potty chair and introduce her too it yet you will not could push it she remains a touch youthful. My little woman will use the potty right here an there I in common terms positioned her on it whilst she asks.

Try using diaper pins to keep the diaper on -same as you would with cloth diaper.
I wouldn't push potty training -keep offering to let him sit on the potty but that's it.

Take him to the potty on a set schedule and keep trying. Also, dress him in pants that cannot be taken off easily.
