Subject:potty tranning my 3 year old
|
My 3 year old is refusing to go the potty. When he uses the bathroom in his diaper he will take it off and bring me a new diaper to put on. When he takes a bath he will get out of the tub go tinkle, flush the toilet and get back in. He says no to big boy underpants and takes them off. I have tried rewards for going to the bath room and making it fun but he is not interested. The only way I can get him to got the bathroom is ask him if he needs to go and when he says NO! I can take him by the hand and led him to the bath room and tell him to be a big boy for mommy and he will but I feel like I am forcing him. I have a 2 year old daughter in diapers and she is not physically to try to potty train I being to think that he does not want to because sissy is still wearing them, and I may have to wait and get them to do it together. Does any one know what I can try.

I have read you concerns and i feel your anxiety over potty training. As his younger sister is still in diapers he may resist potty training as a way of getting attention.
I would suggest buying him a book about using the toilet. There is a book for toddlers which include the sound of the toilet flushing. By reading the book with him it may motivate him to try using the toilet independently.
You can also try to potty train his younger sister at the same time.
But most of all be patient. Potty training takes time and children will not suddenly become perfect. Also remember taht each child is an individual and children develop at different rates. What one child can do at age two another child may not be able to do it until age 3.
