My daughter potty trained after she turned 3. From 2-3 I suggested the potty to her, but when she said no I didn’t push. One day she started wanting to go on the potty. We transitioned to underwear with no accidents because she was ready. Waiting until they are ready is so much easier IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859598 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 05:14:38 +0000 Boy_mommy 2859598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my first was potty trained by 16 months. We would take him at max every 30 minutes just to try, we didn't use pull ups or the like except for bedtime, I feel it helped when he seen and felt that he had an accident, he also loved Elmo and they have a potty training DVD that comes with a reward chart for every successful bathroom break. It had stars and I just bought the stickers to fill it in. We hung it on the bathroom door right in front of the potty and he loved earning his stars and seeing his success and accomplishments,. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859399 Fri, 30 Nov 2018 16:41:44 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2859399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: We're currently potty training our 2 1/2 year old, and she doesn't speak much. But she shows signs/cues of when she needs to pee, so even if your son isn't talking yet, if you are set on potty training, you'll figure out his cues! She just takes herself to the bathroom now (4 weeks in). Good luck (for now, or later!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859305 Fri, 30 Nov 2018 11:15:56 +0000 Adira 2859305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: 2 seems young. My oldest potty trained at 2.5, but HE initiated it and we just followed his lead. My youngest semi-potty trained resistantly at 3, because I also felt pressure to do it. Bribes helped, but they didn't completely do the job. It wasn't until 3.5 when he was fully potty trained and he was motivated to do it on his own.</p> <p>If your son doesn't seem interested, I wouldn't push at this age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859203 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 21:17:09 +0000 pachamama 2859203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was trained at 25 months- our parents generation definitely had us potty trained earlier, so I don't necessarily think he's too young at all. He was malleable and not too stubborn being so young.<br /> What worked for us was the Oh Crap boot camp method and BRIBES. he loves m&amp;Ms and praise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859178 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 18:40:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 2859178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyoung: my DH’s grandmother has told me many a time how all her kids were trained by 18 months 😳. But she also said old fashioned cloth diapers played a big part. I agree 2 is very young and I think continuing to offer but not getting upset about it either way is the right move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859176 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 18:25:01 +0000 cyoung 2859176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He finally peed in the potty a few minutes ago.<br /> .<br /> I guess I just feel pressure from my mom. I love her but she kills me sometimes. I'm the oldest of 4 and we were all potty trained around 2. Idk how she did it. My son is very stubborn. I guess I just need to give myself a brake. I'll still take him with me and see what happen. If he doesn't go I dont need to beat myself up about it. He is super smart...just full of energy and spirit lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859175 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 18:18:22 +0000 bhbee 2859175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with wait it out. It’s great you’ve had some successes though and I bet it will be easy once he decides he’s ready! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859172 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 18:06:39 +0000 KT326 2859172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 is really young. My oldest wasn't potty trained until 3.5 (we had a few false starts starting at 2.5 where I thought he was ready but he wasn't) and no speech delay. Our pediatrician said not to push it, he will train when he is ready. She didn't want us to create any negative associations with going potty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859163 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 17:18:11 +0000 MamaBear87 2859163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We potty trained our daughter on her schedule. So she'd go alot on the potty and then get bored and stop. So if it was me I'd just let it go for now. Our kid is strong willed and pushing her just made things worse.<br /> 2 is still really young too. I would think especially with language delay he might just not be ready yet. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-help-4#post-2859156 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 16:15:07 +0000 cyoung 2859156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my son turned 2 in October. We started potty training two weeks ago and he was doing great. We were not super strict about it. We just took him went we had to go and he would go. Well he was doing so well and now he just wont pee in the potty anymore. He just wants to play in the bath room and wont sit on the toilet long. Any tips or advice? We give treats when he pees and I take him often. </p> <p>One thing I need to mention is my son doesnt talk. He doesn't say a lot of words. He has a speech delay. We are also gonna get him tested for autism. </p>
