Potty training tips? Re-inforcement?

fruit loops in the toilet for target practice trust me it will do in 2 days what couldn't be done in months. It makes it fun for them to go pee because that wanna hit the fruit loops.

Has there been any changes in his life? My son did that when I had the baby but when I didn't make a big deal out of it he seemed to get past it. Sometimes too all they want to do is play and then it's really hard for them to pull themselves away from what they are doing to go to the toliet. Try every half hour or so (depending on his age) asking him to go to the bathroom and try.

This is very common. Children will get so wrapped up in playing the forget to go. Just give him a reminder every hour.. Say Do you have to go potty. I work in daycare what works best is just saying Sweetie go sit on the potty and try to go for me. They might and the might not but they will be less likely to loose track of time and wait till the last minute.

It is hard when that happens. Don;t worry about it, my son was still having lapses until he was 5. All you can do is ask every so often if he needs to go. It's the only way to get his concentration off what he's doing. That can be a real problem when they are engrossed in something. One important thing is don't ever get angry. Accept that it will happen. Explain to him that he needs to let you know if he needs to go but that it's ok if he has an accident.

Have you tried rewards for him making it to the bathroom? You could start a chart, and he'd get a gold star each time he goes. When he gets a certain amount of stars, he could get a little treat get to pick a game that the family all plays together. Good luck!

When my grandson was 2 he was pretty well trained except when he got busy. We moved very close to a play ground and the first time he went to play he had an accident. I told him if it happened again he would not be allowed to go to the play ground He never had another accident. So they some times need incentives.
