Potty training

Interesting question. Not a parent myself so I don't know much about this. I was visiting home recently and my 1 year old nephew is made to sit on the pot every morning and if he his caught mid poop, so when day he was repeatedly wanting to go into the toilet, nobody understood why until my dad noticed that he had started pooping. So I am sure that your 2 year son would be very ready to be potty trained.

You need to potty train when your child shows you signs. Not because you want him to be or when someone else wnats him to be. I have a 2 year old that is showing signs (wants to be changed, knows how to use the potty, can take clothes on and off, etc...) of wanting to be potty trained. He is very stubbern though! We have put him in pullups during the day and diapers at night. Encouraged him to go and tell us when he has to go. He refuses to take the lead! I have even tried puttin ghim in regular underwear so he can really feel the wetness - doesn't bother him. If we tell him to go sit on the potty he will go - and has even number 2 in there twice! You just have to keep trying and "plugging away" Unfortunately I have found there is nothing you can do to force a child to become trained. My daughter was in pull ups for over a year. Then one day she just decided it was time to move to the potty and panties. Hopefully this helps - I know it's not answers that you were probably looking for - but no one has those answers. If they did all the kids would be trained at birth!:) At least I hope this helps you feel better and to know you are doing the right things.

My son just turned 2 on the 21st. We are going to start training him now. We are just introducing it to him though and letting him sit when we sit or just before his bath to get him used to the idea. I keep the bathroom shut a lot because he and his baby brother love to MESS so it may take a little while but, it wont hurt to introduce! GOOD LUCK!
