I don't think he drank less than usual today and I prompted him frequently to drink water, so I don't know. </p> <p>I think that makes sense and I should try to encourage him to stay on longer without forcing him. I guess he can hold it really well, I just feel clueless about how to encourage him to pay more attention to whether he needs to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-advice#post-2300210 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 22:25:35 +0000 lawbee11 2300210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three times in a day doesn't seem like very much. Is he drinking a good amount of liquids? I feel like I'm constantly telling my LO to tell me when she has to go potty. We have a couple of books (The Potty Book is one) that we leave in the bathroom and she only gets to read them while she's on the potty. I can usually tell by her body language that she needs to go but sometimes she'll still tell me she doesn't. So I'll say come on let's go sit on the potty and read the potty book. Then after about a minute she'll usually go. So maybe try to get him to stay on longer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-advice#post-2300204 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 22:14:32 +0000 Dagny 2300204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on day 5 of potty training my LO (29 mo). I'm following the oh crap potty training method. We did block one for two days and we are on day three of block two. It's going pretty well, but I need advice about prompting. Yesterday, LO went pee five times - two were self-initiated and three were incidents where he peed a little bit in his pants (a very small amount) then stopped and held it and said "I need to go to the potty" and then went on the potty. Today he only peed three times - once was self-initiated, second time was prompted, and third time he peed a lot in his pants and then said, "I'm peeing" but then held a little bit and got that into the potty. 10 minutes before this, I promoted him and he sat, then quickly said he didn't have to go. I need advice about prompting.. Usually when I prompt he sits on the potty for 5 seconds and then jumps up and says "I don't have to pee". He has been doing pretty well so I thought maybe I should prompt less because it didn't seem to make a difference and I'm worried about resistance, but now I'm second guessing that and wonder if I should prompt him more regularly and make him sit for longer?? I worry that will make him resist.. But the fact that he only went three times today makes me wonder. Thoughts? </p>
