Potty training will be the death of me!

Can’t say this is the best way but it worked for us. Our little one was potty trained very quickly and before 2. The method my wife used, I really can take no credit, was to have our little one not wear any bottoms and ask like every 15 minutes if they needed to use the restroom. The second they say yes we ran them over to the toilet and had them go and celebrated/rewarded them for doing their business. Only had a couple of pee incidents on tile and took about 4 days. Only a few accidents at night over the course of months.

Did something similar as D1 mentioned for my then 3 year old boy. Took off on Thursday and Friday and did 4 days of potty training. Read a couple of books with him ahead of time. Made a paper to put on the wall for pee and pool. Every time he went we made a star then made up a crazy happy dance song we sang and did an awesome high 5 and a big hug and how proud I was of him. No candy no treats just what was stated. He didn’t wear diapers that whole time but big boy underwear. Asked every 30 mins to try and go potty. For him a step stool and his own special seat that fit on top of the regular toilet. He only had one accident and was trained in the 4 days.
Good luck OP

Read “Oh crap! potty training"

Not to be that lucky naive parent who thinks they're good when they're actually just very lucky... but our kids are awesome with potty training.

My wife found the ”elimination communication” (I think) method... She does like half of what it suggests. Our first was potty trained before 2, and our second now 16 months hasn't peed or pooped her underwear/pull-ups in like 2 weeks.

Curious as to everyone's best method. Just starting with my son.

It'll take time, OP. Everyone makes it there eventuality. I am training a 2.5 yr old and it took about 3 weeks to see marked progress. We're 3 months in and almost done

Absolutely feel you!

He was potty trained then regressed, he’s doing better but he’s 3.5 now

Kids get there when they get there. We’re not forcing our kids. I know others might have a choice but it ended up ok for us

D1, sounds a lot like what my grandmother did with her 14 kids... worked in less than 2 weeks without fail. Basically put them on a potty every 30 minutes (I think every hour at night?). And never used diapers/pullups once they were supposed to get potty trained. How do you do it at night? Still every 15 min?

I have the same question. Did great during the day and even naps but at 3.5 still wears a pull up at night and doesn’t hold it overnight with no interest in moving to underwear for bedtime.

We are going through this with my daughter, she’s 2 and a bit. Pretty similar to above, just put her on the potty regularly and make a big fuss when she does it. In a nappy at night time, mainly for us frankly as she’s amazing in that she happily plays in her cot until we wake her up and we have no interest in releasing her from her cot to enable potty trips!

Stay strong and bring wipes

Consistent encouragement. For emotionally ready kids older than 3, definitely express mood disappointment when they do not make it and be overjoyed when they use the potty. Worked for me on two boys.

Not sleep training will be the death of you. Take it from a father who has a 10 year old in his bed.

How do you know when you kid is ready?

Use google home or amazon echo to remind the kid every 2hrs to go use the potty
Worked well with mine and less accidents to deal with
