Potty training

Two is a little young for a lot of boys. I always made mine sit on the potty for 3 books every hour until they went a couple of times and made the association. But if he's not showing signs of readiness, it might be best to just wait a few months - it's always easier to train them in the spring when you can let them run around sans clothes!

I tried for a year with my son...I was SO frustraited! Everyone kept saying "he should be potty trained" "Why is he in a diaper??" (when we were out) But he just WASN'T interested! Finally he turned 3 (dec 18th) and 2 days after he went poop in the potty and has been day trained ever since with very few accidents! GL and lots of patients! :)

I'd say wait a few months and try again. My son was 2 1/2 when I tried and in about 2 weeks we were done.
It sounds like your son isn't ready yet. When I worked in a daycare- most of the 3 yr olds weren't even potty trained

my dd was simialr. she has control issues. as long as i was pushing her to do it, she refused. once i backed off and let some time pass, she decided on her own she was ready. sometimes thats all that is needed

I waited until all of my kids turned 3. Then I took the diapers away completely and stayed home for 3 days. I took them every half hour the first day, every hour the second. By day 3 they were trained completely. (Except at night,, that takes longer)

He's not ready yet. I had my son in a daycare facility at 2 and in the class he was in they started potty training whether you wanted them to or not. Him being my first, I just went along with what they were doing. It took over 2 years to get him potty trained because of that. He got almost potty trained then his best friend (my dad) became a trucker again and was/is gone more than he's home. We waited. He got almost potty trained again (3.5) and his sister was born. He was right around 4, or a little older, when we FINALLY got him potty trained.

If I could go back and do it again I would have waited and not started at 2. It was a HUGE power struggle and a major source of frustration for me. Not to mention the idiotic pressure from my mother. SHE wanted to brag to her sister that HER grandchild did something before her grand nephew.

I put my kids on the potty. DS started sitting so I could sit him on it every few hours and maybe read to him or something. After a while he went and we had a "party" then we "celebrated" every time he went, then he around 2 was like ok, its time to stand. lol Everyone said my DS wasn't ready too, he had no interest but kids fear/lack interest in unexciting things they don't know. You gotta teach them. I wouldn't say potty training is something the child needs to be ready for, the parent just needs to be ready to teach it in a way the child understands. All kids are different, they learn in different ways.

firstly, if he is not ready, definitely don't rush it. It could make him fear the potty and delay it even further. Most boys don't "get it" until 2.5-3 so there's no hurry. When you do start seriously training him try to avoid "asking"... asking always gets a "no" answer so instead say "let's go potty and then we can get a sticker".
