Children,mylot, people, parenting

i have four children and tehy are all teens now. they do gave me a lot of head aches when they were still toddlers but that is understandable. my mom said that children are like fingers in our hands. different sizes and but it only came from one hand. just like children they have different traits though they only come from the same parents. patience my daer. some kids are easy to be taught and some are really hard headed. we need to be patient with children that are not that easy to catch things up. still do what you always do reminding him that he needs to pee or to poo on places that adults do. not easy so we need more patience. goodluck

This is tricky, since four year old children are not embarrassed by wetting themselves. Well. I suggest making up a story related to them needing to use the toilet. If they don't use the toilet...[insert story here]. Like that kind of thing...

Is he ready to be potty trained? Does he show any signs or interest? I don't think you should push him. He's four so what? Could be a lot worse things. If you act like it's not a big deal, he might get interested in it. Instead of talking to him or playing with him when you change his diaper. Just change him. When you sit him on the potty talk and play with him. Read to him if you want. I think he is psyching you out and your just getting stressed.

Sorry to say, but it is high time that he got trained by himself by now, I think you should take the pain by taking him to the toilet yourself say every half an hour or forty minutes. At least he should inform you when he feels like visiting the toilet, my niece's daughter who is hardly one and half years old calls out to her mother or granny whenever she feels like, You can also be a little stern with him if you want him to really develop the habit.

you take your child to the bathroom after every one hour or say one and half hours. What does he do in school. Tell him that all adults including mom and dadd pee in the bathroom, be patient he will learn.

Hello I am a mother of 2 children, one just graduated from college and is 24 and the other is nearly 3. I also ran an in home day care for 14 years. Potty training is one of my most dreaded tasks! I am awful at it. I found boys to be easier than girls. With boys, I have found if you make it fun, they get it very quick! My brother used the 'you can go outside on a tree' line and his boys picked it right up...I don't recommend this. At a visit to our house my nephew woke the first morning ran down the stairs and out the back door to the backyard where he promptly dropped his pants and peed on the tree...leaving a very confused aunt standing with her mouth open! Socially this may cause a problem! LOL! However, I found Cheerios to be the best trick for boys. Throw a couple of Cherrios into the toilet, have him aim and 'shoot' the cheerios. They love it and before you know it they are trained. Good Luck and let me know how it goes!

I have the same problem. My daughter is turning 5 this month and she's still not potty-trained. I have tried everything but she just doesn't want to sit in the potty trainer or in the toilet. I'm so pressured because the grandparents are bugging me about it. What complicates things is that my daughter has Autism Spectrum Disorder and she's not verbal. She's not able to tell me when she wants to go.

you know what, its really hard to be a mom more responsibility. we are their guardian,teacher,mother, guidance counselor sometimes. but all of that is in need of patience, alot of patience. all our child is unique and have different identities. there are a fast learner, weak, healthy and there are some is not good at all. just longer your patience and someday you will gain succes in parenting of you child. stage by stage development of our children is very hard to guide. just be ptience and carefull. keep up the good work.

Hi there You are anxious to train your son take care himself.I think kid is verey smart maybe you just let himslef try it more times and let it be.He will learn it It's just my idea.Well i have on experience like that.Hope you can slove it..Good luck Have a nice day!

I can understand your frustrations. It sounds like you have tried just about everything and it still isn't working. My best advice would be to try and not let it get to you. Also decide on one tactic and go with it. If you switch things around often it can become confusing for your child. I think the hardest part of being a parent is consistency. I know I have a hard time with it as well sometimes. My oldest two girls were both fully trained at just after two years old. However my third, who used the potty the first time I sat her on it at 18 months old, knows what the potty is for and fully understands it but she just refuses to use it. I'll put her back on it every time she gets up but she will keep getting up and getting upset and I don't want to turn the potty into a bad thing so I let it go. When she does use it I praise her like crazy and we even go through the routine of wiping, dumping the stuff into the big toilet, flushing, and washing our hands. It makes her feel proud and like a big girl. But even this doesn't get her interested in the potty all the time. I know people put pressure on parents to have their child potty trained by a certain age otherwise society may deem us as unfit parents. That's a load of...well you know. I've never heard of a child who was "late" (are they really late?) in being potty trained, taught colors, or the alphabet have it affect their lives in a negative way. The only negativity comes from people who have no business sticking their nose into your business. I felt pressured with the first two to have them trained by two years of age otherwise they and I would be laughed at. With my third I am more lenient but I am also still actively trying to get her trained-if only to save the expense and waste of disposable big girl diapers. Just stick with it, find the way you want to train your son (with rewards or whatever you decided) and stick with it, and you will find that he will become trained and won't be scarred for life.

Well, try this. If you have a friend who has a girl child, get her home once. Let your boy play with her. If he gets potty around that moment, try to coax him to use the toilet as he has been told. Just talk to him as you would with an adult. He would immediately feel embarassed as he is in front of a girl! My nephew was potty trained like this.

I am the father of one children, she is just 3 month.. But I think you teach your children should be severely. You have to set strict demands on yourself,Good example to children. Don't hit your kid.
