    Hi there, I read your potty question and I understand your frustration!

    I used to have a similar problem to yours.. I had a hard time training my toddler to be potty-trained.

    I got this book called "Potty Training in 3 Days" (recommended by my pediatrician) and it's amazing! Although they said it takes only 3-days, mine took roughly around 4-days. But it's amazing how quick he have learnt! I recommended this to my friends and they were amazed too!

    Here's the book that I recommend:

    She sounds very capable, and you are doing a well task. It takes plenty of coordination for them to get the entire elements in combination... simply be encouraging. When she has an twist of fate in entrance of the potty, say "uh-oh" and permit her support blank up. When you're cleansing up, say to her "pee is going within the potty!" Unlike a few individuals on right here appear to suppose, youngsters have the capacity to manipulate the integral muscle tissues while they're 18 months ancient. Your task is simply to coach her to try this always. Good good fortune, and your difficult paintings will repay. She'll get it!

    Encourage him to tell you when he gets pee and tell him that when he pees he gets 1 candy and when he poops he gets 2. also remove his pull ups like in the evenings and make it interesting. Tell him that it's a small project and if he pees in his small potty he will get candy. Remember patience is the key. A few mishaps but he will eventually learn.

    He'll use it in his own time. If you push too much, it may make things worse
