    He just turned two a couple of weeks ago.

    As for anger - evidently you'd be scaring the crap into him.

    Re: Potty training

    now THIS subject just occured for Zak Jr.... he knew wht we wanted......

    but one day decided it was his day.

    Same for night time dryness..... one night he awloke and called for me.. and wanted a wee.

    it comes, be consistent.... never say its ok to wet.. but always applaud a definite choice of the potty....

    but tbh.. Zak Jr wanted to sit ON the toilet.. not on a potty.

    And so......the Family Toilet Seat was installed

    http://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/B...FTPItAodiVgAhA

    Magentic small seat fits inside lid.. and pulled down over normal large toilet seat for little dude......close lid... it sticks to lid and lifts like it's not there

    It's STILL installed... other familys come to play... their youngers kids use it.

    genius

    Re: Potty training

    Bribery is the way to go. A sticker on the board for each delivery. My second is still not convinced on using the potty if i can get the time he's going to get a sticker board.

    Re: Potty training

    My wife took about 2 weeks to potty train. The key is to be consistent but don't try to force to hard otherwise the kids will be scared to go potty!.

    Re: Potty training

    Our little guy is now pretty consistent with the potty. He'll go by himself and sometimes will use the 'big' toilet with one of those plastic kiddy mods so he doesn't fall through!

    It's been about two weeks now, I'd say, maybe three, that he's been going. My wife just took a few days to make more of a focus on it, and so with the extra dedication and some special treats waiting in the wings (and a lot of congratulations) he's cottoned on!

    I think atmosphere and focus have been the biggest elements - along with the bribery/rewards as reinforcement.

    Re: Potty training

    It will come naturally to him eventually but there's a few things you can do to help him along.

    Place a potty in the bathroom, and when you or your partner go for a wee take him with you...talking him through it "Oh...Daddy needs a wee wee, does [name] need a wee wee?", then both sit on respective seats and let him watch you (weird but it teaches a lot more than just talking. And not recommended for poo's either....)

    Also avoid "pull ups" as they provide a false sense of security. They feel like a nappy so the child treats it like one. Wet pants at least tell the child they've been and eventually they will realise the difference.

    The hardest part will be getting him to learn the feeling of needing to go before he goes.

    My boys 19 months so we are a way off yet, but my partner is a nursery nurse and already started us on the above tips to make it easier when he time comes.

    WHen they're ready, I think they'll just figure it out honestly. I have fraternal twins and one picked it up early while the other still poops himself at 3 3/4 years old.
