my son is 2 and refuses to go potty, he walks around the house with out his diaper on and when he feels,?
Answers:
are you using an adult toilet, he may feel intimidated. Try getting one of the potty training toilets from wal mart. It is his "special" potty then that only he can use. Also try positive reinforcement when he does use the toilet. Do not let him make the rules about it if it is time to go potty then he needs to use the toilet. plain and simple. It may be rough going but I am sure you can accomplish it with some patience.
Other Answers:
you could try a sticker chart kids love these if not wait another month and it will all fall in place
dont buy any more diapers
I assume he's wearing underpants. Just let him go in his underpants, he'll stop pretty quickly as soon as he finds out how that feels.
Every child is different. For the one it may be a quickie in learning to go potty for the other it can take a while. But the thing is, you got to continue with the potty training until he gets it. I have a two-year old and he is now at the point where sometimes he does it right and sometimes not, but I believe that eventually he will get it right. Good luck and have patience.
Oh, the joy of potty trainig ;). I say to just wait a little while longer. My son was 3 before I started because I was pregnant with his little sister, and didn't have the energy for all of that. Now my girl is 2 1/2 and just doesn't seem interested. The only thing she does is take her diaper off in the crib in the morning if I don't get in the minute that she wakes up. Well, patience is all I can suggest. Give him some time, and eventually it will all work out. Good Luck!
Well if you are going the no diaper route, good for you, but dont give in when he feels the need, even if he has a few accidents. He'll realize you wont give in, right now it may be more of a power struggle, he knows if he crys and whines you'll give in.
Also he may be afraid of the big potty, i know my kids were at first. You also may be starting too early, if you start before they are ready, you couyld delay the process all together, i would talk with your doctor and see what his opinion on the matter is. Also rewards and praise help soo much.
Good Luck:)
This is going to sound really bad, but if he's not ready to use the toilet and he's unwilling to get his diaper on then you can do two things: when and if he goes potty on the floor, have him clean it up - how quick will he realize that his mess is meant for the toilet AND he might just learn to appreciate where you're coming from. The charts are great only if he's willing to do it. Bribing will make things worse - he will soon EXPECT a treat. A training potty for him might help, you can take him to the store and have him pick it out and have him decorate it with stickers, and even let him pick out some cool training pants or underwear. Tell him a dry week = a trip to the ice cream shop or chucke cheeses. Incentives, - not bribery. Good luck! oh, try potty books for kids and even videos made for kids - look in the public library for them.

Mom, he is getting your attention, right? He is training you. Let him suffer the consequences a few times. Why is he running around without his diaper? Put him in training pants. Explain he is big boy now. Quit making a big deal out of his behavior. Many of us have experienced the
"terrible twos". No two children ever learned the same way.
I think your pushing way to hard. At this age were a child goes potty is about the only thing that they have any controll over. and if you push to hard the child will push back and go exactly were you dont want him to. Relax. put the potty right in middle of the living room floor.(hopefully it is clean) and make it a toy have a baby doll go potty and have a party for the doll. make it fun and make it more his choice. He probally actually wants to do it but wont cause he's mad at you.
Bribery is a wonderful little tool you may want to try. Works wonders. Wave candy in front of him and tell him that if he goes you'll give him some. It may take a few tries but eventually he will want that candy bad enough to go.
I stressed myself out over this one too. My son was easy but we waited until he was 2.5 years. My daughter was a challenge. At 3 and a little bit I took away the diapers at night and took her to the bathroom once in the night. This seem to positively affect her daytime routine. Personally, I think we push these little ones too hard. They are only babies once. We all need to relax a little. I wish I did, I feel I was too hard on my daughter.
Don't force it. He's not ready. He'll let you know when he is. Give him another 6 months.
Try putting underwear on him and bluejeans and a shirt, he should be able to let you know when he has to go, get him on the toilet, they make the kind with steps that they can get up on by their selves,I wished I could help you, I had 3 kids who were all trained before 1yr. old.
He's probably not ready yet. My daughter is two and won't use the potty. She even tries to change her own diaper. Just have his brother encourage him and take him to the bathroom when he goes and maybe make a fun game of it. Good Luck.
2 is early for boys. relax.
3 things that are messy but fun...
we added food coloring to tank only after he went he picked the color red and orange were a hit
we painted the seat and ever time he went a new picture was added.. we had one very ugly toilet seat. and my all time favorite....we hung toilet paper from the walls and ceiling kinda like tp'ing a house. it was either for use or we could add more.... didn't have many visitors over through this process...

I made a game of it..I threw some Cheerios in the bowl and asked him to try and hit them, he loved it. The sticker thing is pretty popular too.
Wait until he is ready. Stop all pressure to use the potty or toilet and let him continue to wear a diaper until he is ready. I hate to tell you, but this is one battle you *can't* win; he holds all the cards!
Two is way too young to start potty training. I tried when my daughter was two and a half and didn't get ANYWHERE. Finally, after she turned three, at Thanksgiving time I had a four day weekend and I was bound and determined to have her potty trained by the time I had to go back to work. Lo and behold, it worked. You just have to say to him (when he's a little older and will understand better) "It's time for you to go potty on the toilet." And then DONT GIVE UP! And also realize that your children never do things the same way. Even tho your older son was already potty trained by now, it doesn't mean your younger son will follow suit.
