My son is 2 years old and knows when he needs to go potty...he just won't?
or even to get him to pee on a tree?
he really likes his diaper
Answers:
Lol. Good luck. I have been there, done that. The peeing on a tree seemed to work for my older 2, but not my last. Have you tried dunking the cheerios in the potty? He may like that game, rewarding him when he does, take the diaper off when you are at home and let him run around in undies, after a while he will get tired of being wet and dirty. He may also not be ready. Good luck

"Most children are ready to begin the process between 24 to 27 months, but some children will be ready earlier or later than that. If you start earlier, toilet learning will probably just take longer."

Tell him you will smack him everytime he goes to potty in his pants. After a few smacks, he'll go in the potty. My son was the same way. Until he saw me go. Let him go without the diaper ever once and a while when out side. Put a bigger shirt on him. When he acts like he has to go pee, tell him to pee on a leaf. It worked with my son. Good luck.
You got the right idea about peeing on the tree. Let him run around in shorts with out a pamper, put a rock in the toilet tell him to pee on it. I raised 2 and they were hard. Just keep trying. Another idea is buy him underwear with his favorite character like superman, Good luck !
A lot of praise!We used to give our Son gold starts on the Calendar, (we let him put them on), when he used the potty.
We would all gather around and clap our hands when he "did it" in the pot :) It boosted his ego a lot...
You have to praise him and reinforce it with love and understanding and lots of attention, so that he knows its the "right thing to do"...
I wish you well..

okay...when he has to go....tell him that every time that he tells you and he goes you will give him some of his fav. candy!! i have tried it with my own and he did it!! and trust me he was IN LOVE with his diaper!! but when you give something that he wants he'll do it!! and to get him to pee on a tree is to take him on a ride in the car when ever you get him to use the potty and wait till he tells you that he has to go and then tell him were are no pottys around!! and that he has to pee on the tree he will cry for a lillte bit but he will do it!! but dont 4get to give him something small like m&m's!! my little boy loved it when i did it If you really think a 2 year old is mature enough to go to the potty everytime he needs to pee, then dump the diapers and get cotton training pants and the plastic pants that go over them. Then when he pees he'll have some cold nastiness next to his skin rather than a nice diaper absorbing all that wetness.
I hear getting the boys to aim at floating targets is a way to teach them. Never tried that myself, though.
Neither of my children were really potty trained until they were three. It's not that big a deal. He'll catch on sooner or later.
Do any of these people answering have children? Or any experience with kids in general? Of course he knows he has to go on the potty but he won't if he knows YOU want him to. It's one thing he actually has control of right now. It's probably the first time he's experiencing some sense of control over something. When you stop offering him treats and stop going overkill on the praise and pleading with him to use the potty, he'll probably start going on his own. Which is what you really want. When he thinks he's using the potty because he decided to on his own then he'll make a habit of it. But for now, he'll go when he's good and ready. Don't push him too much. Just reward him with praise when he does go on the potty. And everytime he does go in his diaper you should still have him go on or at the potty immediately afterwards. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Mother of 3 Is your son wearing pull ups, if not this will help him through his training, does he have his potty chair, some children are afraid to sit in grown ups toilets. There is some very interesting potty chairs out there on the market, you might want to look into buying him a fun potty chair one that will attract his attention. So he may learn to use the potty and have some fun. Spankings are not required it will only slow down the learning process, always remind him that he needs to let you or daddy know when he has to use the bathroom, if he accomplishes this task even once , twice or what ever times , always praise him for doing a good job. This will build his self-esteem. Another idea have dad demonstrate the positions for using the bathroom this could also be an adventure for your son. Good Luck in the process, be patient it will happen eventually. Some children potty training takes longer. Hope this helps a little .
I have 3 girls and used bribery with all. LOL When they peed in the potty they got an M&M( or 2 or 3!). When they pooped in the potty they got a sucker. We tried a lot of different things but they needed instant rewards. and what kid doesn't love candy?! After a while they didn't ask for the treat and they went on their own.
put him in underwear and if he pee himself let him sit in itSource(s):
tough love always works
hes not ready to potty train...give him a break. He will go when he is ready I think he should be punished when he wets on himself. Tell him he is a big boy and big boys do not wear diapers. Don't mention anything about being a baby or babies wearing diapers because he may like being a baby. Also let him watch his Dad or a male figure and talk about how that person did a good job. Motivation and praise.
Your best bet is to train him not to like his diaper uncomfortable--most boys are for this very reason much harder to potty-train than girls.
Watch for signs that he's about to, or has just, taken the easy way out--and change him promptly. Eventually he will begin to appreciate being clean and dry.
Above all, be patient and do not scold. The more you push them the stubborner they get.
It's a Guy-Thing.

My sister. The best way is to keep his options open. Toddlers (especially two year olds) love to feel in control. Ask him often during the day if he wants to go potty. If he says no, respect his decision. I have a two yr old myself and I tell her when I change her how yucky I know she must feel to be wet or sticky. Eventually she started asking me to take her to the potty. We don't make it to the potty everytime, but I let her decide which she would rather do. If she potties, she gets a sticker. She really loves this.
I hope this helps!
