Ok this is going to sound bad, but it worked like a charm with all three kids. I would reward them after going potty with a couple of smarties or raisins and they began to tell me all the time, and sometimes even when they didn't need to go. :) After a few months I phased out the treats, but they were trained.

When my boys were being potty trained, I left their diapers off. They noticed when they had to go. If they went on the floor I would have them help me clean it up. It was a chore they didn't like doing, but soon enough they were going on the potty without problems.
