Time to PT?

cherrys

For a few months,DS has been telling me after the fact when he pees.  This morning, he came over to me and said Poop.  I asked if he pooped, he said no.  I checked him and he hadn't.  A second later, he was grunting and looked at me again and said Poop.  I checked again and he had indeed pooped.

 The other day, before bath, he was in his room naked.  He said pee.  I asked if he had to pee and he said no.  Then started peeing.  I stopped him and put him on his potty and he SCREAMED!  However, the water was running in the tub.  So after he got off the potty and into the tub, he peed.

I was going to work on PT'ing this summer, but I think I'll start sooner since he is verbalizing when he needs to go.  Is there any advice you can give to make it easier on him and I??

DD was verbalizing and showing all the cues of readiness, but was really resistant to actually doing it (that was around 2 or so). When I'd ask her if she needed to go, she'd freak out if she was actually put on the potty. We gave it a rest and tried again about 2 months later -- but kept the potty around for normalcy -- and she was all about it.

So for me, the biggest sign of readiness was her actually wanting to do it.

I know every child is different, and much can do with age as well. GL!

3 day potty training method.  google it.  There is a mentoring program that goes along with getting the e book.

I will say that my daughter just potty trained this week.  she was consistently verbalizing and telling me she wanted her wet diapers off in January, but she would not train.  I did the three day method for seven days and she never peed or pooped in the potty once!

 We went back to full diapers for a few months and just redid the program and she has done wonderfully.

There is no harm in trying, just want to let you know that if he doesn't get it right away it isn't a major deal and just take a few months off and try again.  Hoping he gets it on the first try

My daughter also was fearful of the potty so we took some advice from our pedi and get a calendar for stickers...doesn't really matter about the days because they don't understand the days.  Every day for two weeks I would have her sit on the potty fully clothed....and she got a sticker each day she did.  Then the second two weeks I had her sit with no clothes on.  and she would get a sticker for each day she did.  

I did this for the month leading up to the three day potty training method because she was terribly fearful of the potty.

Just some suggestions for different things I ran into in this process.
