4 yr old doesn't want to go potty

I've heard people say you should use some kind of double talk with them. Like "ok you can wear your diapers. I guess you are too young to eat that ice cream. Ice cream is only for big boys!" Stuff like that, but say it nicely and non-chalant and trick them. It may work :) Also try positive reinforcement, which of course works in many situations besides potty training.

The first thing: Don't put him back in diapers. That is what he wants. Diapers will keep him from feeling wet. Put him in pullups or regular underwear during th day. There may be messes (mainly with the underwear) but that's just something that needs to be dealt with. Don't punish him for not making it or holding. Use a reward system. Gets a sticker for going successfully - so many stickers equal a prize (ice cream with mom, new small toy, trip to the park, etc...) At this age it's past the knowledge that he needs to go. He needs to be encouraged to go. Good luck!

At that age, I think you should be able to sit him down and ask him why he doesn't want to potty. There might be a reason that could easily be corrected.

well i think it is really a very serious matter u dhoul consult a good doctor as soon as u can

try and get someone to have a word with him or something if he is not listening to yourself, ive got all this to come in the next couple of months im trying now and my daughter just runs away and screams but she's only 19 months at the moment. have you ever tried to bribe your son?? i know this is not good but it may work and i can understand that you don't him going to school with a nappie on at that age!

definately do not put him back in a diaper! Potty training is a hard thing and takes persistance. My sister in law, use to tell her son he needed to feed the potty (discusting I know but it worked). Try using an incentive too, like if he has no accidents you will buy him big boy underwear with his favorite character on it (for my daughter it was Dora underwear that did the trick). Also, make a big deal about it when he does use it, and tell him how proud you are of him and what a big boy he is! Also remind him to try every so often... and tell him good job everytime he tries. good luck! hope this helps a little =)
