We are attempting potty training with our 2yo… not going well so far!

That worked great, but now that the novelty has worn off (and the reward system no longer appeals), our progress has stalled. I also want to know how to get him to stop peeing in his sleep.

After having three kids of my own i find that hard to believe.
With my second one i know that its easier when you know they are ready and willing instead of dragging them to the potty, that was traumatic…
Just stay calm through the process

I know it is early and I am not pushing him to potty train. But he knows what the potty is for and he also knows when he is going pee pee and even poo poo. He isn’t at the point yet to let me know ahead of time to get him to the potty, but that will come. I do plan on doing the “Diaper off” approach when it is time.

Then constant reminders…treats and sticker charts…LOL

She picked it up really quickly… but I have friends that their children…just took longer. M was the first out of my group that was trained, and she was the youngest. They’ll do it when they’re ready :)

Oh – hang on, the person saying it doesn’t have any kids.
She says it was an episode of Oprah.

My husband had an excellent method. He let them walk around without any pants or diapers on (summer activity obviously) in the house. He would watch them and when he saw that they had to go  (and most parents know the signs) he would encourage them to use the potty. Worked well (especially the girls) because they didn’t like to soil themselves. This was done after an intro to the potty so that they knew what it was for. Most important, don’t get upset, uptight or frustrated. Stay calm or it’s just another way for her to drive you crazy!
Good luck.PS – better if you don’t have carpeting or if you have a nicely screened back yard! hahaha

All kids are different and there can be tantrums and tears if you try to push them too early (for Mom too)
