Toddlers: 24 Months+

More PT questions (sorry if repeat but didn't find it when I skimmed) I ski

DH is a SAHD. He has very good intentions, but sometimes poor follow through on his ideas. Well, we decided DS was ready to potty train a month or six weeks or so ago. Ds was telling us when he peed and pooped so we figured why not. We asked for a lot of opinions on how to get started and a few books were recommended. We bought one and it seems quite reasonable. It breaks kids down into personality types and goes through challenges one might Enoch yet with each type and how they best learn. Ds is the "impulsive" type to a t. Well, hegot going pee and even poop sometimes in the potty right away when he was having naked time. He never has accidents during naked time. Ever. So I bought some underpants. He's less successful with these. He will just stand there and pee Nd tell us he's peeing on the floor. Even if we've asked him if he needs to go pee 5 minutes before. The book's response is to continue positive reinforcement and modeling and directive training.  Good thought, but not working. 

Now, ds knows he should pee in the potty. If he didn't get it, he wouldn't pee I there when he's naked. I don't think he's being willful or defiant.  Dh's remedy to the peeing through his underwear is to put a diaper I. Him, but I don't think this is helping either. So how did you guys get past this? And how can I get dh on board, since he's the one who will be doing the brunt of the work? I'm starting to just get pissed when ds pees on the floor and I know it's not helping the situation. Tia.

  • I would keep him naked at home for a while still, and only put on loose pa ts with out underwater for going out. The underwear prob feel like a diaper to him. Or see if they make boxer shorts in his size, or even pj shorts. 
  • Go naked at home till he is consistent and make sure you guys set aside a day or two to stay right on top of him so you can whisk him off to the potty mid pee.
