Any tips on potty training my 2 year old son?

First, they won't start until they're ready. And boys take longer and are harder to train than girls. And remember that they've been going in their diaper their whole lives, so you'll take one step back for every two forward!

With my daughter I bought a potty for her, and had her come sit on it (when she wanted to) when I was going potty. And I made a big deal of myself going potty-"mommy is a big girl, going pee pee in the potty" or "daddy is a big boy..." After he starts going in with you voluntarily, announce that he's going to get big boy undies like daddy. Go to the store and let him pick out his own undies. We did a naked weekend first, then starting using panties. That way she knew what pee felt like dripping down her legs. And then just putting him on the potty every 20-40 minutes or so. I bought a bunch of mini m&m's for treats, cuz they're little and not appetite spoilers. And we did a potty dance when she went, she really got into it =) And never never making a big deal out of accidents. I just said "uh oh! where does the pee pee go? In the potty, not in the undies!" It takes a while to be able to go anywhere, and you will soon know the locations of the bathrooms in all your local stores. I also went to Ikea and bought a little travel potty for the car, just in case. That way at a park or long trips, they can still go.

I've heard of using cheerios for target practice (when they get there), I plan on doing that when it's time for my son!

good luck! And keep your patience!

My son was not fully potty trained until just before he turned 3. His pediatrician said not to train him until he was 2 yrs 4/5months. I always heard when it clicks with kids and potty training, it just clicks. I tend to think that is true. I had bought a potty for my son and read the potty books with him. I had him go around the house diaper less. Then a couple months before he turned three He got it. Like a light switch went off. My husband only had to show him how to stand at a urinal once. So when kids are ready, they do it. I think parents make it hard on them selves when they try before the kid is ready. Each kid is different and runs on their own schedule. Good Luck!!
