I'm a mother of 2, a boy and a girl. Believe me if you stick with a schedule and a routine and do not give choices such as "do you want to try potty?" he will eventually go

This is, believe it or not, normal. I suggest getting videos for him to watch. There is a video and book combo called "Once Upon A Potty For Him". They have it for girls too. Also get books on about the potty. After watching the videos and reading about it start training. Make sure you stick to a schedule. Don't ask him if he needs to go, just take him. You can even make a cute potty training chart for him with dltk-kids.com. I would take him every 2 hours. It'll be tough but stick with it.

Also, I do not recommend bribing him with stuff. My philosophy on this as a parent and as a teacher is that it will only cause problems. Ex. If everytime he goes potty you give him an m&m, he will expect that m&m whereever you are and you are not always going to have that treat which will cause more problems. I always used hugs, kisses, high 5's and verbal praise. You always have those handy.

I wouldn't get upset when accidents either, even though it is unpleasant. Take a deap breathe and just talk about it like "it is ok that you had an accident, you need to tell me if you have to go. It is ok. Let's try harder next time" etc.

Anyway, good luck. Hope all works out well for you. Remember everyone's situation is different. What works for one may not work for another. Eventually, we all pee and poop on the potty :)

If you wait until a child is physiologicially (body and mind) ready - usually about age 3 to 3 1/2 -- it's way easier than it would be if you start when a child is 1-2 years old. It's frustrating either way.

I have three kids.

I have two boys and I didn't find potty training difficult at all--the trick seems to be waiting until the child is ready. My cousin really struggled potty training her little girl, but she started when she was 2. I waited until the boys were 3, when the weather was warm, and I let them run around without any pants on IN THE HOUSE, of course, not outside. They figured it out within one day, and only had a few accidents at night in the first few weeks. Whatever you do, stay away from pull-ups. They are expensive, and only encourage children to continue using "diapers" because they are comfortable. The basic rule is, as long as peeing or pooping in the diaper is an option, kids will want to do it because it is convenient for them, they don't have to stop what they're doing to go potty. But if you make it uncomfortable for them and they are old enough to get it, they'll get it right away.

Personal experience with two boys, both 100% potty-trained within a couple of weeks of starting. I potty trained my little girl when she was 27mths starting on holiday - rotten of me I know since she peed on the floor 3 times in the restaurant where we were having lunch on her 1st nappy free day.

Be bold and carry a potty about with you and once per hour put him to use it only for about a minute at a time regardless of where you are (within reason). Great and big hugs if he does anything, no big deal if he doesn't. Its persistance.

Take off the nappys and pull up pants, they are confusing when sometimes its okay to go in your pants but others its not. Let him feel wet and uncomfortable for a few minutes on a couple of occasions. Kids are not stupid - he wont want to feel this way again. Potty training is about him and his need to learn to respond to his body. If they don't understand there are consequenses to actions why should he change? he's happy with a nappy. Kids follow the path of least resistance and dont like change.

Being wet meant that my daughter learned that she didn't like wet knickers so she refused to wear them for about a week (and was into dresses at the time) but since the wet stuff runs down you leg she didn't like that either and was telling us when she wanted to wee within 5 days.

Oh and let him chose his own potty (preferably one that will fit into your loo for consistency) so he doesn't have to face yet another change ie using the toilet yet. And don't stress him out by starting before he is 2.
