One of my twins will be ready by 3 but most likely not the other due to chronic constipation issues. Anybodys kids not ready by 3 to go to preschool? Does it make a difference Whether they wait until 4??

Just curious.

We are in the early stages of potty training with Patrick. When he goes to the bathroom on his Elmo potty chair we don't have any issues as there is a "splash guard". The other day we were at the mall, and I took the boys in the family bathroom, as it was the only one I could fit the double...

"Mommy I have pee" So I open the gate so she can get into the bathroom. Every 5min she is saying she has to pee... And I know she does not need to go! How do i deter her from always saying she has to go and "believing" she has to go? I am so tired of the constant bathroom runs. Our bathroom is...

I am going to start DS on a 3 day potty training on July 5th. I would love to chat about it with someone. Anyone want to join me? The Official 3 Day Potty Training™ Method For Boys And Girls by Lora Jensen Here is the link if you are interested. DS has 21 pairs of boxers (yeah after IF years...

DS is just 18 months, but with another one on the way I was wondering if you think it might be too early to try to get him PT'd? DD didn't fully train until she was 4---she could tell you all about it, in detail, just didn't want to do it--then suddenly she just woke up and got it. I have...

How is everyone doing with potty training now that summer has ended and routines are back in place?

Hello! We are now in the process of Potty Training! I have 3yr old twins, but I am only PT one of them. My boy who has a delayed speech will be going to pre-k for his therapy. He does not need to be PT, because they practice in school and because they are more focused on his speech than PT. They...

So my DS in the last 2 weeks has gotten really great at potty training. He goes pee (standing usually) at most prompts and has only had maybe 2-3 pee accidents in the last week. He stays dry during naps, he asks to get up at night to go pee and has even stayed dry a couple of nights, and stays...

I started potty training ds at about 2 1/2 because our local school will not let him attend preschool if he is not potty trained. We've watched potty videos, read potty books, we bought a potty chair and potty ring (to over the toilet), we take him with us when we potty...we even sing songs about...

I didn't think I would be needing potty training advice this soon, but here I am. lol Patrick just turned 2. I had no plans to potty train him until I am on winter break (I'm a teacher), at which time he would be 2 1/2. If that didn't go well, then not to next summer when he is 3. Last...

ds is 3 1/2 and he is scared to sit on any potty, big or small...thomas chair, we also have diego cover and still no luck (diego fits over the potty). ds is a big boy and sometimes he says he has to go but he wont do it when we get to the bathroom. he will stand up and do his #1, but thats it. ...

Hello~ just wanted to say hello to everyone! I am the new BC for the PT board and having just finished successfully training my third- and final- baby, I am full of thoughts and ideas for successful potty training. Every child is different so not all suggestions work but finding the right...

My ds is 2 1/2 and I'd really like to start potty training, but he has not developed a desire to be clean at all. I've tried testing him by not changing his diaper right away. His diaper leaked all over him, all over the sofa and he was not bothered by it at all. He just sat there and continued to...

DD has been sitting on the potty seat for months. She NEVER goes, just says "go potty!" and has me take her in there to pull down her pants and sit. Last week, she went twice in one day - when we were home all day. She cried both times and said "I don't like this!" Then, a few days later she...

My boys turned 2 Oct. 17. They've showed some interest in the potty. Though they perfer sitting on their potties with clothes on and backwards :hmm: Anyways, we're going to start working on it December 1. I have no hopes of them getting it right away. Honestly if they are even semi-trained...

So, when googling how young you can start potty training...I came across the Diaper Free Baby organization who supports using communication clues to know when your child needs to use the bathroom and then putting them on the potty - basically as young as you want to begin. I was considering it,...

How old was dc when you started potty training? Or how old will they be when you want to start?

Ladies, I need you opinion/advise please :) DD first showed interest in a potty when she was about 18 months. I thought it was a bit early, but at that time she would tell me every time when she wetted/soiled her diaper, then one day she sat on a potty and went #2. Next day again... (she was...

Hi, I know similar things have been posted, but not too recently. Hoping someone can help... PLEASE! DD is 3 years and 2 months old, has been potty trained for peeing for 1 year. She was starting to get the hang of pooping early this year. Her father and I are not together, we never were during her...

Our 3.5 year old boy simply refuses to go #2 on the potty. Well, I shouldn't say that. He's done it for me three times. And on the third time, he crouched himself almost like a crab with both hands and feet on the potty. It was quite strange. Up until most recently, we've been extremely...

My 2 1/2 year old daughter is daytime potty trained. She tells us when she needs to go and does it independently. She wakes from her naps and goes on her own to the bathroom. Her training really took off when she picked out her undies at the store and we quit using Pull-ups. The Pull-ups were too...

My little man is going to be 3 in a couple of weeks and he shows NO interest in using the toilet. He will start preschool this fall and he can't be in diapers. HELP

My 2 1/2 yo DS has been peeing in the potty for the last 4 months. He would even ask to go. No success with BM's on the potty but I wasn't going to push it. We had a "parent teacher conference" at preschool last week and the teacher asked if we were going to switch him to pull ups. It's a newer...
