Update: bare-bottomed potty training - 1st success!
We finally had success! This evening, after dh cleaned up his poopy
diaper,ds didn't want a new pullup. So, I introduced the waterproof pad on the couch idea. A while later, I suggested going to the potty. He didn't want to go (he was watching tv) so I suggested bringing the potty over and he could watch while sitting on the potty. After about 20 minutes, he announced that he had peed! Yay! He was very excited. We moved the potty to his room, so )if heremembers) he can try again in the morning. (I know he can hold it overnight - we just need to get him to the potty in time) Now I just need to figure out how to interrupt fun actvities to go potty... Irene |

Irene My nephew used to get so involved in computers as a training toddler that my sister told him no (more?) computer until he went potty. Good luck, Jeanne |

"Irene" wrote in message m... Now I just need to figure out how to interrupt fun actvities to go potty... You give him a warning, "In five minutes we are going to try to use the potty." At the end of those five minutes you say, "Let's go now, you can go right back to playing after you do." He'll get the hang of it pretty quickly and soon you shouldn't need to remind him. I tried tro pay attention to "transition times". I'd watch him and when he was just about to switch from one play activity to another I'd say, "Ok, let's go use the potty before you start X activity". Also, I tried to make routine times for potty. Before we leave the house, when we arrive somewhere, before meals, before naps, etc. Those were non-negotiable times. This was very effective for us.
