A little potty training help
My son's 3 years. Everytime I ask him if he needs to wee he says no. When he says yes and I get him on the potty seat (which is on the toilet seat)...he doesn't do anything, then when I let him go about 10 minutes later he messes himself or uses the diaper.
I know when he wants to poo but when I get him on the seat he never does it there. I bought pull ups today and hopefully it will help.
My question really is how to approach the potty training for a boy of 3 years. I want to get him into school soon but the only wait is potty training!

Re-ward them for every time they go and get like a chart and put up and you bathroom and get stickers that they like and every time he goes he gets to put one up and when he gets to say 5 stickers he get a reward like a piece of candy or something. But yes do use pull ups. I hear boys are harder than girls but my little girl was relly easy to train but Im dreading to try with my boy who is getting ready to tur 4 months old! But Im sure it all works out in the end! Good luck!

I agree with the other columnists below me. Rewards & books are great.
There's also a toy called Potty Train Elmo. Kind of a long story as to why I got one for my fourteenth birthday (yes, I am potty-trained, Elmo's an inside joke... even LONGER story, anyways!) I found it to be adorable. Elmo comes complete with a potty, sippy cup of water, and a book. I'm sure it'd help a three-year-old, especially if he loves Elmo!

try rewards.. that always worked for me
I got an M&M for everytime i used the potty and that got me hooked because before that i never wanted to.
for my sister my parents sang a song where she could dance when she was done
Also try to buy books that invlove potty training and maybe if he sees the little boy in the book going he may feel more motivated
and i would be patient
I teach 3 year old preschool and we had a boy who could not attend till the spring session because in the fall he still wasn't potty trained
thats completely normal for boys
