Hello Veronica. Well, I can help with advice–& with suggestion’s & with potie training my three son’s–when they were two or so. Hope you take everything I say without a doubt knowing–i’m trying to help-& letting you know we all were in this position ur in @ one time or another k? Now, you say ur an at home mom-& wife. This is the most cherished occupation-0r job-i would call it i think there is. Be proud you can do so/& i give you kudo’s ‘ for being one–as ppl think stay at home mom’s do nothing but watch soap’s & do their nail’s– LOL. But, i know different-=i was too thank God, & i DO. First of all being a stay @ home mom–you have the ability-job–to raise ur children/child as you wish to–& have many, many opportunities that other mom’s only pray they did. So, be thankful you do, first of all-& praise God for the option– opportunity— & blessing k?? Secondly, you have to teach a child–by repiticiously doing things as you must already know–to do them for you, as a mom, So, if you repeatedly do NOT put ur child on the potie chair–he /she will think you are punishing them –or some other reason–not knowing what UR doing to/of them. Does this make sense so far to you ? Please re-read if it doesn’t, & thank you for listening also, i appreciate it. Thirdly–If you don’t repeticiously–do something with ur child–they don’t understand ur reasoning-because, their not shown why–their supposed to do something which is not to their recognition–something that is familiar–&, or, fun, or which you have repeated so many times–they remember what to do k?? Make more sense to you now? Hope so Veronica. Fourth, You HAVE to make time–to teach ur child things–no matter what it is–even if it’s let’s say–put on potie chair–when you think it’s time for them to go potie–or when you ‘ve noticed–they are trying to go potie–first thing after brkfst. in the morning around 9 a.m.— when their watching t.v., & relaxed–or at noon time after lunch–& or, after the mid-afternoon snack–after that–before the nap time–& or after supper–a couple of times. It’s more simple then it sounds just run a schedule–jot down times when child if more prone to–want to go potie–get them used to the chair or get a portable one–you can carry around with you –when doing chores like making bed’s –&, or, doing the wash–etc., etc., & for sure before you go to bed @ night-time–write a schedule for you doing things around the house–for the next day–get used to doing this–& you won’t become so tied up-in other things-that you cannot take care of your son’s needs, & for sure–take a short rest–every day–while son is napping–so you can refresh yourself, as we all needed/need to, to gear up-=for the next round of chores/days events . Sit down during the day–& play with ur child and while doing so–bring the potie chair out, & talk to child while he’s on it–like honey mommy loves you/and mommy is proud of you/and mommy wants you to be a big boy–now, try and go for mommy–& eventually he’ll get it because of you being the great mom you are–& the great trainer that you have become- & are k?? Give urself rewards for doing/being so–during the day like a fresh nail paint job at nite–or a special supper with hubby–once a week–he cook’s/or you both cook togeather for fun, etc. Now, while ur doing all of this–think of how good you’ll feel when you can take ur child to school–AFTER he’s potie trained by you. Think ahead–of how good you’ll feel when he’s in school-and you get a respit–from the long day’s you have when he was home–all the time. Reward your child–when he’s good–by giving him some fruit–or a banana–or something special he wants/needs/or just craves when he has it. There are hugs, & kisses too–which a small child needs, & too— daddy can re-inforce this when he’s home as well, with play time–& doing things with child–& he too can put child onto the potie chair–& talk to him-so he’s comfortable doing this with dad and mom. Don’t let him /her sit–for long period’s of time–it won’t work that way–just frustration on both parts. Won’t work guaranteed!! So, do what you have to do–to be the best mom you can be. &, , know there are many mom’s rite at this moment–whom are going thru the same things–you are— ur not alone–* those mom’s have to make time to do this as well. Besides, feel the elation–you & ur child will have ==inside your hearts–when ur child–makes this adjustment from bby-to infant whom can go potie by himself. And, encourage—-never, ever scold or discourage ur child . Thanks for listening Veronica, God Bless. Hope i helped and Merry x-mas to you and ur family. keep in touch, Victorianlady359
Well, it sounds like you need to clear some of your schedule and put your little three year old as top priority. Parenting is tough but there is noone that can take your place. I am sure it’s his way of keeping some control in what sounds like a very chaotic environment. Simplify your life. There is nothing more important than his little heart.
relax -the problem may be anatomy!! his bowels & bladders need time to fully mature. continue trying without punishment & remember it may take another 3 years. if you suspect a medical problem, consult the pediatrician.
BRIBARY
it’s the only language kids understand
tell him that theres a boogy monster in diapers.
Oh my gosh…I was in your shoes exactly one year ago.
He will have his breakthrough, when he is ready.
It’ll be soon, within the next 6 months, probably.
Whew…I feel so sorry for moms….they don’t know until they get through the process with their first child, then they understand, and feel empowered.
Hang in there…his day is almost here!
Don’t get mad, whatever you do.
Oh, and, BRIBERY..what the above answerer just wrote, YES, that is so true. I mean it…My daughter is almost 4, and we are still using bribery to a lesser extent with her…1 marshmallow for a pee pee, and 3 marshmallows for a poop…etc. lol.
The doctors say they will potty train when they are ready and not a minute before then. I was told as soon as they wake up in the morning to make them sit on the potty to get them in the system of doing that. Then have them go after each meal and right after nap time, then right before bed. This way you set up the structure for them to start. After a while they will pick it up on their own much like brushing their teeth, taking a bath, eating, etc.
