Also wanted to add that for us, poop came a lot later than pee. For whatever reason, our son was ready to pee in the potty but poop was a few months later. I was shameless with jelly bean rewards!

@cake2017: We found the Play-Doh poop demonstration to be very helpful for DS. I'm sure there's examples online but you show the process of pooping by squishing Play-Doh through your hand. You can show him that he's not getting it completely out on the potty

@cake2017: I think he was just turning 3. It really seemed to demystify what was happening down there.

We loosely follow oh crap. For my older son, he trained in about a week but I think daycare really helped with that and he’s a big rule follower. We just started my 2 year old this weekend. He’s spent the last couple of days with no pants or underwear. Will start with pants but no underwear tomorrow. He’s had a couple of accidents but I think he’s starting to understand. My older son wasn’t night trained until about a year after we potty trained him. I just waited until he consistently woke up dry and then just stopped putting an overnight diaper on him.

@cake2017: hey we trained my DS right after 36 months. We did a version of the 3 day method. He was able to go from time to time but hadn’t really been motivated so I decided it was just time to nudge him out of diapers.

We started with no bottoms but he wanted underwear so we bargained that he had to go in the potty twice and then he got undies. We relied heavily on a timer to go every 10/15 minutes in the beginning to “try” and avoid accidents and set up for success. We also watched elmos potty time to reinforce the ideas of being big and listening to your body.

We did a lot of praise, stickers for pees and poops, M&M’s, and a prize box (matchbox cars were a hit) for every 3 successes. He pretty much got it in the 3 days.

Good luck! Hope that helps!
