Potty Training advice for a 3 yo boy

Wow, now is the time to bzz about the Sims game. If you're a Sims player, you will know that praising your little cartoon baby on the potty always works. Granted it takes time, but that adorable animated bundle of joy eventually learns to use the potty on their own. Have you tried praise? Are you excited when your little boy uses the toilet? Do you give him attention when he throws his diaper at you? (positve or negative attention - does not matter) Hope that helps!

Try to give him some rewards, for instance when my nephew went on the toilet my sister took him to Chucky Cheese for the whole day. It worked like a charm. When my daughter goes on the toilet I give her a dime, and she puts it on her piggy bank... This reward system works very well with my family. Try it.

When my son was small, we put a cig butt in the tiolet, my husband and son would shoot the boats and see who could sink it. I read where someone put fruit loops in the tiolet, thats a good idea. My grandson who isn't 2 yet is potty training himself, he tells us when he has to go potty. My mom bought him a potty movie, he loves it. some kids are tougher than others. I have another grandson, that was tough to potty train. He would sneak in the dining room and go in his pants. His mom and dad kept saying it was ok, it was an accident. I got new carpet, one day he made me mad after many times pooping and peeing on my new carpet. I put him in Mr. Peebodies chair, he got to sit there for awhile. Kids who pee their pants got to sit in Mr. Peebodies chair. That was the last time he peed on my carpet. After that it was an ordinary chair, haha. Good luck, eventually all kids get it. Don't worry they won't be going in their pants forever.

Its seems to me your really doing everything in your power and doing everything right..ya know maybe hes just not really ready..i know Sky refused!!! untill about 3 mths before his 3rd bday..and that was bribary cause he wanted to ride the bus and go to school..headstart..and they have to be potty trained..soooo thats what i used..and in a week he was trained..sooo this is my idea..i dont believe in bribary much at all lol..but in these big cases and nothing else works..well...gotta do..Take him tot he store or find out what one big toy. either buy it now and wait ..or wait till hes trained..but make the deal..listen no more diapers and you use the potty like a biggy boy..and we will get you what u that toy..that just might workllor soemthing liek that..i wa slucky Sky just wanted school lol..good luck!

hmmmm I feel for you does he still drink a bottle? my children were potty trained at a year old when they were old enough to sit up I showed them the pot. does he watch you are someone else use the bathroom? maybe this will help does he go to preschool?

Well they did say boys are harder to potty train than girls are. I used to teach 10 2 year old boys at the YMCA a while back and I remember putting froot loops the cereal in the toilet, about 5 or 6 and have them aim at it. The boys loved it. lol. They got 1 m&m for pee and 2 m&m's for poo. I don't know if rewarding them with candy was the ideal thing to do but it seemed to have worked for these little boys. Good Luck!! Also check out some potty books or even the potty training elmo helped my godson.

well i now this is gonna sound insane but it worked for our boys ... to get them to actually pee in the pot we threw some cherrio's in there and told them to shoot them , yes of course ppl asked why we had cereal in our bathroom during that time but we just laughed and said ya never know when ya need a snak LOL , as for the pooping , well we got rid of the diapers and when they went in their pants we made them put it in the pot , they soon figured out that if they didnt wanna mess with the stinky stuff they better get to the pot LOL , yea i know a lil tough love but hey somtimes ya gotta do it ;) it worked tho ~M~

yeh its good

You know what, you probably went to the toilet with your little girl so she got a first hand example of how to do things. if your babys father is willing, he can try and show your son how guys go. Maybe if he identifies with him everything will fall into place. Besides your son might just be doing it because he probably enjoys your reaction.
