It helped my son to potty train standing up so he could see what was happening and connect the sensations. What worked for both my son and daughter is The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com I started by just setting it at the toilet. This stool makes every toilet kid-sized. My kids immediately climbed up on this stool and discovered that they could safely and securely use the toilet. This got them very interested in using the toilet and they were potty trained very quickly.
My kids like to use what they know mommy and daddy use. And it really is wonderful having your kids independently use the toilet on their own. The handles and sides make all the difference! My son and daughter felt very secure and the sides makes them feel comfortable and closed in when they use the toilet.
I like that I don't have to double the steps of potty training by training them first in a potty and then training them to stop using a potty. And not dumping and cleaning a potty each time is great. The best thing is that kids use it for years. I hope this helps you

First of all, don't worry about the nighttime until you have the daytime potty training mastered. Mu son was potty trained at 18 months and now he's four and still pees in his sleep about once a week. He's just a deep sleeper. If I were you, I'd take him to the potty once an hour, on the hour, and make him sit for five minute. If he does, hand him a sticker and let him put it on a chart. When he stays accident free for a certain period of time, or gets a certain amount of stickers, give him a special reward. We are currently rewarding our son with hotwheels. I bought a big box of forty of them and put them in a big container that he can't open. Whenever he does something really great, like cleaning up his toys without asking, we'll say "come get a hotwheel". We never offer it in advance, so it's not a bribe. But maybe a bribe would work for your son.

How to Toilet Train Your Toddler
Things You'll Need
Training Pants
Potty Chairs
Step One Assess your toddler's readiness for toilet training. Ask yourself these questions: Does your toddler follow simple instructions? Dislike having a soiled diaper? Know words for stool and urine? Sit for 5 minutes or more attending to a project? Understand the physical signals indicating the presence of urine or stool? Have dry periods for 2 hours or longer? Wake up dry from naps? These are all good indications that you can start introducing your toddler to the potty.
Step Two Buy a potty or toilet seat. Choose one that will suit the needs and preferences of both you and your toddler. Do you want one you can take with you anywhere? Do you want one that will rest safely on public toilets? Do you want one that makes music? Don't be surprised if your child doesn't agree with the one you think is right
Step Three If you feel comfortable, have your child sit on his potty with clothes on while you, your spouse, or another person of the same sex as your child goes to the bathroom. Don't try to restrain your child or force him or her to sit down. If your toddler shows extreme fear or disdain for the potty, put it away and try again, or let your child explore the toilet seat independently.
Step Four Sit your child on the toilet seat without a diaper when he or she shows no signs of fear. Explain to your child what is supposed to happen on the potty. Don't be surprised if nothing happens for a long time. After two-plus years of passing urine and stool in a diaper, change will come slowly.
Step Five Create a toilet routine. Following a routine will set up your child for success. Place your toddler on the toilet at specific times of day - first thing in the morning, right before or after a nap, and right before bed
Step Six Be patient. Some children become urine-trained before becoming stool-trained. Other children wet the bed up to age 7 or 8. All children develop and accept change differently.
Tips & Warnings
Reward your child for making it to the potty.
If your child has an accident on the floor or in training pants, use gentle, encouraging words. Let your child know that he or she is learning something new and that accidents are OK.
Read toilet-training books for kids together to show your toddler that other children learn this skill, too.

When I potty trained my son I just basically read him a book while he sat on the toilet. We read the book 3 times and I always used a good potty book. I let the water drip a little. Ask your son if he wants to be a big boy and sit on the potty while you read him a book. After you are done ask him if he went pee pee. What i also did was let my kids run the house naked so they could see when they peed where it went. All over my floor, couch, bed. It sounds bad to let your kids pee all over but you have to keep an eye on him so you know where to clean up. But when you catch him going on something get a towel and tell him to clean it up. Tell him that next time he needs to use the potty and not pee on your stuff. My son later started to look at me and than look down when he had to go and I would ask him if he had to go. Whether or not he said yes or no we went and sat on the potty.

keep clothes that are hard to remove on
he screams and cries because he isnt ready give it up you arent helping your hindering wait another year then try
folks beware i was accused of insulting this woman which i did not and still am not disagree with her and she will bug you.
fyi
toilet training to soon will make your childs life and yours more difficult he will have accidents longer. til puberty. i know people who toilet trained very young under 18 months the kids still wet themselves as adults because and i asked my sons doctor. their bodies never matured properly because it was forced to do something it was ready or able to do. hold urine. my parents tried with me at 18 months big diaster i wasnt ready and had no idea what they were doing think about your baby for a minute. does he understand at all what your doing. nope does he understand whats coming out of him no. since you know he strips at night before you go to bed go in there and check on him and re dress him and also punish him when you find him naked. if you punish and discourage it will stop, my son did it a few times and was put in timeout and that ended it, i never said you made him sit there for hours. no parent would
also since you find him at 6 am covered in poop get up at 5:30 am and make sure he has a diaper on also and you wont like this put a piece of duct tape or masking tape over the diaper tapes it works and its not a crime

He is still too young! I only started potty training my son at 2 and a half.............you are going to give him big issues later in life by forcing him to be potty trained at a too early age. Girls are different to boys, they can be potty trained earlier.

Every child is different,but you mentioned you have other kids........use them. Praise them when they go, talk about how big they are because they go to the toilet...make it fun.. If he is the all male child he sounds like, he will not want to miss the fun...........I floated cheezals or fruit loops in the bowl and my son "bombed" them!!!
