Potty Training

well my 1 yr. old just started taking off his diaper, so I introduced him to potty training, when ever you feel he/she is ready then you can try. my 4 yr.old just got the hang of potty training not that long ago and sometimes he will have accidents in his underwear. what I did with my 4 yr. old was put Cheerios in the toilet and told him to aim for them to try to make them go under, it sounds weird but it worked for me, and when he went I'd give him an m&m for #1 and two m&m's for #2. but what ever treat you see fit will work, I heard some parent's give stickers. it does take time, but just stick with it. ask them when they have to go, even take them when they don't and then praise them. and pretty soon they will tell you when they have to go.

The time to start varies from child to child, just like anything else. I've always heard that as a general guideline, you should start working with a little boy when he's around 2-2.5 and a little girl, when she's around 1.5-2, but of course that's just a general guideline. Also that's the guideline for when to START. Some kids pick it up within a few days, and others take months.

My little boy was really easy for me to daytime potty train. He was one of those kids, that once he understood that he got rewarded for peeing in the potty, he peed in the potty all the time. It took less than a week to get him pee trained, and about a month before he could consistently poop in the potty every time. Well, I say he was completely trained then, but he would still have about 1-2 accidents a week, and he still needs diapers at night and at nap time. He turned 2 in February. He was day time potty trained by Thanksgiving, so probably when he was about 21 months old or so.

We gave him M&Ms when he pottied in the big boy potty. We also made it into a HUGE deal each time. We got a sticker chart and gave him a sticker each time, and once he got enough stickers, he got a new toy.

i already have a child that ages 13 and 11 at this time and a year old of this time and the moment my child knew already how to sit in(potty training) then I would always trained it every morning with me in the bathroom.....

my son potty trained at 3, it was pretty hard, he never did the pull up thing, only underware, we went through 6-7 pants a day, and it really helped him at daycare to see the other kids go potty. We gave him stickers everytime, that helped too, and about a week later he did it. we still give him stickers, and ask him all the time, but we have few accidents. Girls are suppose to train faster and earlier, my little girls 2 and she loves to sit on the potty and flush it, but she hasnt gone yet. But we sit her 3 or 4 times a day to make her unfamiliar. Good luck also if you have a boy, you can put fruit loops in the toilet:)
