Children,mylot, people, parenting

i have four children and tehy are all teens now. they do gave me a lot of head aches when they were still toddlers but that is understandable. my mom said that children are like fingers in our hands. different sizes and but it only came from one hand. just like children they have different traits though they only come from the same parents. patience my daer. some kids are easy to be taught and some are really hard headed. we need to be patient with children that are not that easy to catch things up. still do what you always do reminding him that he needs to pee or to poo on places that adults do. not easy so we need more patience. goodluck

My daughter was potty trained quite easily, at the rather late date, by some people's standards, of just before her 3rd birthday. It took several attempts. In between attempts we put the potty away. I'm no expert, but I know that pressuring them doesn't work. They get put off if they feel it is a big deal. My son is 2 years and 4 months, we have tried twice to no avail, he loves nappies and isn't interested at all. You could try taking him to the potty every 30 minutes to try, or reading a story while he is on the potty, but if he isn't ready, just put the potty away and try again in a month. It is a tricky subject as every child is different. My daughter seems to have regressed a bit and frequently wets herself at home - but not at nursery. Just go with him. Tell him Mummy will be very pleased if he can be a big boy and wee on the potty, but don't scold him if he won't. Just reinforce how big boys wee on the potty and try things like "big boys can ride big bikes" or "big boys can do things Daddy does like..." It is tough I know, and my son has been much more difficult than my daughter so far! They do say boys are worse. How old are your other kids?

I am the father of one children, she is just 3 month..
But I think you teach your children should be severely.
You have to set strict demands on yourself,Good example to children.
Don't hit your kid.

I can understand your frustrations. It sounds like you have tried just about everything and it still isn't working. My best advice would be to try and not let it get to you. Also decide on one tactic and go with it. If you switch things around often it can become confusing for your child. I think the hardest part of being a parent is consistency. I know I have a hard time with it as well sometimes. My oldest two girls were both fully trained at just after two years old. However my third, who used the potty the first time I sat her on it at 18 months old, knows what the potty is for and fully understands it but she just refuses to use it. I'll put her back on it every time she gets up but she will keep getting up and getting upset and I don't want to turn the potty into a bad thing so I let it go. When she does use it I praise her like crazy and we even go through the routine of wiping, dumping the stuff into the big toilet, flushing, and washing our hands. It makes her feel proud and like a big girl. But even this doesn't get her interested in the potty all the time.

I know people put pressure on parents to have their child potty trained by a certain age otherwise society may deem us as unfit parents. That's a load of...well you know. I've never heard of a child who was "late" (are they really late?) in being potty trained, taught colors, or the alphabet have it affect their lives in a negative way. The only negativity comes from people who have no business sticking their nose into your business. I felt pressured with the first two to have them trained by two years of age otherwise they and I would be laughed at. With my third I am more lenient but I am also still actively trying to get her trained-if only to save the expense and waste of disposable big girl diapers. Just stick with it, find the way you want to train your son (with rewards or whatever you decided) and stick with it, and you will find that he will become trained and won't be scarred for life.

you know what, its really hard to be a mom more responsibility. we are their guardian,teacher,mother, guidance counselor sometimes. but all of that is in need of patience, alot of patience. all our child is unique and have different identities. there are a fast learner, weak, healthy and there are some is not good at all. just longer your patience and someday you will gain succes in parenting of you child. stage by stage development of our children is very hard to guide. just be ptience and carefull. keep up the good work.

Hi there
You are anxious to train your son take care himself.I think kid is verey smart maybe you just let himslef try it more times and let it be.He will learn it It's just my idea.Well i have on experience like that.Hope you can slove it..Good luck
Have a nice day!

Well, try this. If you have a friend who has a girl child, get her home once. Let your boy play with her. If he gets potty around that moment, try to coax him to use the toilet as he has been told. Just talk to him as you would with an adult. He would immediately feel embarassed as he is in front of a girl! My nephew was potty trained like this.

I have the same problem. My daughter is turning 5 this month and she's still not potty-trained. I have tried everything but she just doesn't want to sit in the potty trainer or in the toilet. I'm so pressured because the grandparents are bugging me about it. What complicates things is that my daughter has Autism Spectrum Disorder and she's not verbal. She's not able to tell me when she wants to go.

you take your child to the bathroom after every one hour or say one and half hours. What does he do in school. Tell him that all adults including mom and dadd pee in the bathroom, be patient he will learn.

Sorry to say, but it is high time that he got trained by himself by now, I think you should take the pain by taking him to the toilet yourself say every half an hour or forty minutes. At least he should inform you when he feels like visiting the toilet, my niece's daughter who is hardly one and half years old calls out to her mother or granny whenever she feels like, You can also be a little stern with him if you want him to really develop the habit.
