Hello dear mylotters especially mommies and daddies.. i have 3 child which is girl 1 y.o, boy 3 y.o and boy 6 y.o
My 6 y.o has been doing anything by himself (take a bath, eat, take a pee and other basic thing). He has done his toilet training around 26 m.o. Actually i have more time to teach him because i just have one child.
And then my number 2 born and when he was 14 m.o. i'm pregnant again. I can't handle him as much as i can when im handle my number one. And he's just turning 3 but still use his diapers. I actually has train him with training pants but its on off because his nanny not consistent to take him into bathroom when im on office. She just wait my number 2 telling her that he's just take a pee on his pants. So when im on my off day which is just in sunday, i feel very frustrated to teach my number 2 toilet training. He keeps wet his pants often and not telling me before the pants wet.
I dont know.. i have no idea right now. It's not like the same condition when i taught my first child??
Do you have any ideas to teach toilet training more optimal when you have to work 6 days in a week and have other baby to handle? Please give me any advice???? thanks before????

I remember training my children when they were little and it was not really easy.

You sound like a very busy person. Some children do learn things faster than others, so they will learn at their own pace and maybe you just have to be patient. As you are working hard , maybe you could ask a family member to help with potty training. You have your hands very full and you need some sort of support.

Actually i work as a GP in a public health center. I just have 1 off day in Sunday. Yeah, i think i need another helper/nanny who will work persistent to handle this issue. By the way thanks a lot for the advice and thanks for coming to my page :)

Toilet training takes a lot of patience. When your 3 yr old drinks, take him to the potty every 30min, let him know that he has to pee, do not let him get up or run off. You have to be stern. Scold him when he pee his pants. Let him feel the guilt. That is what i did. Took 3 months to get my boy potty train.

Every child is different and what works with one child may not work for the others

@Fighting2013 Oh, I was every other night. I'd have a dry night, then wet the next night, then a dry night, then wet, etc. I had a plastic sheet underneath my main sheet so it wouldn't soak through to the mattress.
