Potty Training

in Toddlers: 24 Months+

We started PT'ing DS (who is 2.5 years old) this past Saturday using the "3 day potty training" book as a guide. I have been really positive and hopeful about the whole process until today. We are on day 5 and DS has not made it into the toilet even once. Twice he went into the bathroom on his own, but peed on the floor (and we celebrated those moments and praised him for making it that far). But, all other times he has just peed where he stood (the living room floor, the couch, a chair, etc) with no warning. He has stayed dry for naps and overnight.

I'm beginning to second guess if he is ready and am really close to just putting him back in diapers or pull ups for awhile. We also have a 2 month old at home and I'm now questioning why I ever thought adding potty training to my plate would be a good idea.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Would you keep on trucking or wait until he's closer to 3?

    Keep trying! Don't give up on him yet. He's got the right idea so he'll get it soon. I didn't use the 3 day PT method, but DS took almost three weeks to get it. I thought maybe we were trying too soon to PT and thought about giving up, and then one day wh

    One thing we did in the beginning was put his little potty chair in the living room where he could see it as a constant reminder. We also went to the dollar store and bought rewards like cars and dinosaurs we taped them to the wall out of reach above the

    Wait!  I exhausted myself trying to potty train DS at various times.  I eventually gave up and said I was taking a break and it would happen when he was ready - and it did.  About 2 weeks after he turned 3, he told ME he didn't want to

    I would keep going! If he's starting to make it into the bathroom, he's almost there. Have you tried setting a timer and taking him to the bathroom every 10, 15, 30 minutes (you choose when you think). That's what we did and it worked really well. By t
