Potty training what a nightmare!!

I agree with trying to use big boy underwear. They say that the kids can tell when they go in the pull-ups, but I honestly wonder because it never seemed to bother my daughter. As soon as she started wearing big girl underwear, she would hate it when she got wet. I also recommend giving it time. My daugther was about 3 1/2 when she was fully potty trained. She would have her moments where she would go for a few weeks and then we would have set backs again (this started at before the age of 3). I always say this and it sounds silly, but it really feels like she just woke up one day and decided that she was offically ready.

Put the potty in a place where he can see it without having to go to the bathroom. Most kids love to pull down their training pants. When he does use the potty reward him in some way. I purchased a potty for my niece that played a song when she tinkled in it. Use those pull ups so he won't have any problems getting them off. When I was training my grand boys they loved to pull their undies off and run around the house bottom bare. Good luck.

Simple! Buy a pair of briefs and use diapers only when going outdoors. Maybe they may make mistakes a day or two and after that they won't. Try it out!

Pull ups are totally a waist of money. I would do the underware and the rubber pants. Make him clean up himself if he goes. When my son was 3, he knew when he had to go but was just lazy. I told him that if he didn't go on the potty, he wouldn't have a birthday party because we were going to be celebrating that he is now a big boy and big boys don't pee in their underware. It actually worked. I had to make fake phone calls to cancel the party, but he bought it and went from that day forward.

I'm training my youngest too and I had problems with making him go to the potty. Now I bought a set of stickers from the movie Cars and I let him choose a sticker every time he tells me has to go AND he does something in the potty (otherwise he will say that he has to go every five minutes). For me it did help. Have a nice day

i remember when i had to potty train my son. i tried every brand of pull-ups they have to offer. i even tried the ones that are supposed to make them feel cool if they feel wet. None of them helped at all. they were a complete waste of money. i then tried real underwear with plastic pants over top. he hated being wet that he peed his pants 3 times and then never peed them again. i hope you find something that helps your son.

I am having the same problem as you are with my son who is 4 years old.I know people probably look at me bad and think I am not trying to potty train him but I am .I make every effort to get him to go .It tried stickers for awhile it worked for awhile then he didnt want go anymore as he wanted to play ,etc.I think at times he is just being lazy as he wants to play and doesnt want to go.Thier are days when he goes and pees but to get him to poop in the potty chair it doesnt work he runs and hides.I even moved his potty chair into the front room thinking that migtht help being so near his toys and tv but no such luck at times.I talked to the doctor and he said boys are the hardest to train as girls dont like to be messy and boys could care less.He said he had 2 boy and he let them run around naked without anyunderwear on or any pull-ups on he said they didnt want to poop on the floor.I dont think my son would care though.I would be afraid he would get his pee pee caught in something too.It might work for some though.I event tried putting underwear on him and that only worked one time and then after that he would pee his self and not car if his underwear was wet.My sisters daughter is 2 and a half years old and she goes and pees in the potty and also poops in the potty without my sister having to make an effort of doing it.My daughter though goes most of the time of peeing but she is 3 years old.But I am more worried about getting my son potty trained.The doctor said it could take up to 6 months for him to be fully potty trained .Probably not meaning the night time though as that might take a little longer.It is furstrating.My son is a smart kid too just is busy wanting to play,etc. I might try the plastic underwear over his underwear to see if that works.I hope thing work out for you.
