Potty training son 3years 1 monthsworking mainly from Gina fords "Potty training in a week" Obviously not working to her time scale and using her tips to work with my son's individual personality/needs ....
Anyway.
so far achieve.
-Will it on potty when asked.
-Will sit on potty and do a wee.
- Will sit on potty and so a poo
- Will hold wee for a long time in morning and during the day.
-Will sit on travel potty and do poo and wee.
- Will say yes that he needs the potty when you ask him.
Not achieved
-Will not go to potty on his own steam. . by this I mean he will not point out to you that he needs to go for a week or also not go over to the potty to use it.
--Will say that he does not need the potty when you know full well that he needs to because he is repeatedly holding his crotch.
--He is happy to wee & poo himself and carry on with lifes better things (playing etc) than go over to the potty and use it.
---He can ask for what he wants in everyday life.. but will not ask for potty.
So currently DH and I are watching him and using the clock to work out when he needs to the potty. So how do we get him to as least ask for the potty then to go over to use it himself. We are using plenty of praise, clapping, hugs and swinging about as rewards when he does use the potty. Sweats, chocolate and star he does not like .. But I could use the star chart along with the praise. He uses the pullups only when sleeping as "sleep pants" and this is my choosen not to go back to pullups during the day. Have you done the intense no nappy in one go method? What tips can you offer.
Just basically/or not how do I get him to ask for the potty or walk over to use the potty himself??? Interested in those who have had a siminlar challenge.
