potty train a little boy?

For standing up, throw a few cheerios in the commode for target practice. Kinda' makes a game of the process.\n\nFor sitting down, remind him that mom and dad don't pee-pee in their pants. Make a big deal when you are going to the bathroom and soon it will be a big deal to him, it's downhill from there.

My 7 year old does the same.  They get too busy doing something else and they don't want to take the time out to go to the bathroom.  My son tends to have alot of accidents too!  I think the only cure to this is that they will get embarrassed if they have an accident in public and people laugh at them.  I remind and remind and remind my son to use the restroom.  It goes in one ear and out the other.  They just need to grow up a little more I think.  You are not alone with this problem!

You know, when a normally potty trained kid starts wetting himself, that could be a real signal of distress or anxiety.  Does he go to daycare or anything like that?  Has something changed?  Really think about it.  When my son was very young he did something similar.  Later I found out that his nutty babysitter was treating him really badly when I left him with her.  Of course, I got him away from her as fast as I could, and the potty problem immediately stopped.  I have always felt so bad about that.

Read to him, talk to him (no baby talk). Go on walks together and examine plants, flowers and animals you see along the way. Play simple board games with him. Make learning fun and he will respond by wanting to learn. We did this with our grand daughter and she is in 1st Grade an A Honor roll student, and loves to learn, it's an adventure for her. Don't put any pressure on your son though, make everything a game. We bought things like a plastic table mat with clocks on one side where she could draw in the hands of the clock to tell the time she went to school, came home, had lunch etc. On the reverse of the mat is the same thing but in written sentences with spaces for her to fill in the missing word. Another table mat we bought for her is a map of the world (simplified), on the reverse is a map of the USA with all the states outlined and named. We bought jig saw puzzles for her from the time she could hold something and place it where she wanted it to go (rather than just wildly throw it). Start with 10 or 12 piece puzzles and build up to the bigger ones.\nKids learn an amazing amount of stuff very quickly, they like to poke about in dirt-make that a learning thing, is the dirt wet or dry, what kind of stones are in the dirt, are there any bugs in the dirt, how many bugs are there? After finishing with the dirt we go wash our hands and feel and see the soap wash all the dirt and germs off, look at the colors on the soap bubbles on our hands. The possibilities are endless with young children, just make it fun!

they will go when there ready. if they pee in there pull-ups and take them off as soon as they do it. put them in big kid under wear and if the pee there self make them wear them for like 15 mins. i did that with my daughter. i got a trash bag set it on the floor and made her set there. she never did it again. but they will go when there ready and dont force him!. my son just started to go like 2 months maybe 3 months ago and he will be 4 in sept. let them go on there own!

If she starts complaining she is wet or dirty or tells you she has to go or went.\n\nYou can ask her if she wants to use the potty and if she says yes, try it, but she is way to young.  \n\nIf you wake her in the morning before she pees, put her on the potty, is she pees there, make a big deal about her being a big girl, if she doesn't oh well.\n\nDon't push her.

be patient.  boys do it slower than girls and keep up with it, don't stop just because he did.  he'll come around and if he doesn't contact his pedi.

I let my son go with out a diaper for 2 days he didnt like the wet feeling of peeing on himself... After the 2nd day I took him shopping for "big boy" underware and he wanted to wear spiderman and batman not a plain white diaper... we still have a few accidents but that is expected... like someone said "it doesn't happen over night."

use the bed leather under his bed sheet. and let him be free. dont insist on training. he will feel wet and uncomfortable for and realize you are not concerned , he will automatically stop wetting himself. only you need to make sure he sleeps seperate or instead of working , this remedy might backfire, and infact piss you off too..............lol

My grandson started pre-school 1 month before his 3rd birthday. He was not toilet trained, despite intensive efforts at home.\n When he saw the other boys all running in to use the toilet, he finally decided that was for him too!!\n I wouldn't worry too much if he has no other learning difficulties. Perhaps get him off to pre-school!!!

That's a tough one. I don't know how you handle discipline in your house but something that has worked for me (I am the primary care taker for my boyfriend's two children who are both from different unions) is using a good marble/bad marble system. I know it sounds kinda corny at first, but, you make a customized fair list of the behaviors that are not acceptable (whining and petty tattling is on our list) and they get a bad marble (btw we have pickle jars labeled good and bad) anytime they exhibit these behaviors and if they get too many (say 5 or more depending on how minor or major they are) they get restricted from a privilege. However, it wouldn't be any fun if they didn't get rewarded when they are behaving so you can make a list or decided on a moment to moment basis if they are being good (sharing, doing things when told, remembering to put a plate in the sink etc.. whatever works for your household) and if they get so many good marbles I let them make a list of a few fun things we can do around the house for 30 minutes, and another short list of things we could do that would cost a little more that we would have to drive to or something like a small toy and I reward them weekly with something fun for being good and helping me out.  You may need to do it as a daily system. I used to use it daily but now that the boy is older and better behaved we only have to use it weekly now. Sometimes children just need a little guidance and to know what the rules are, and to know what is unacceptable and when they can see that their behavior is not good consistently and they are rewarded for being good they will want to change.. especially if you make a big deal out of them being good.  Good Luck... hope this helps or gives you some ideas anyway.

http://www.autismtoilettraining.com \nI have not looked at the site myself, but it came up on an ad for something else I was looking at, hopefully it will help! I had my autistic son completely out of diapers by the time he was 27 months old, but your situation is more normal with autism. It just happened that Tim was oversensitive to sensory input, so he HATED wearing wet underwear. I don't know how much of this will apply to you, but I'll tell you what I did anyway. Everyone on here that said to be really consistent with a reward system is right on target, that's about the only way to get through an autistic brain, and the sillier you are, the better! Find a treat that he really likes and by a bag, and only use it for potty training, no other time. Skittles was what we used. He got three skittles for sitting on the toilet and I spaced them out so that he was sitting for about five minutes. NO pullups or diapers during the day at home, only underwear, and I ran water in the sink while he was sitting. If he actually did something, he got another skittle, and we made a huge deal out of it! Then, he got one sticker put on a chart for sitting and one for going. If he doesn't go,then he still gets SOMETHING just for cooperating with you. I took him as soon as he woke up and every hour after that, and I asked him all through the day if he had to go. That's all you can really do, unless the link I sent you to has other ideas. Hope this helps! I do my own therapy with him, he's never seen a professional, and he is doing WONDERFULLY. I will be homeschooling him, and we're officially starting pre-school next month. We spent last year just working out behavior problems so that we could focus on academics this year. Contact me if you just need to vent!
