forcing a toddler to wee?
okay so it might sound mean but hear me out
im toilet training my son , and he has no problem with doing a poo in the toilet , its the weeing thats giving us trouble .
i can give him a big drink wait 30 mins then put him on the toilet ( he hasnt peed for almost 2 hrs previous to this ) . he can sit on the toilet for 15 mins . without peeing , then as soon as hes off he will start to wee , so i put him back on the toilet and he will just hold it in untill he is off again .
Ive tryed having the tap running , but it makes me want to pee while im waiting for hm to , lol
talk about bladder controll .. his is better then mine
is there anything else that will help him pee ,
ive thought about maybe pushing on his bladder a tiny bit , but i dont want to accidental hurt him .
i dont want to do a reward based program !
i
i dont make a big deal about accidents .. i always just say ohh ur doing a pee , next time we will do pees in the toilet .
so since almost everyone is telling me hes not ready .. what if i tell you hes almost 4 yrs old ? would you still have the same comments ?
im not frustrated, im just looking for ideas to help him get on with his business ,
Babies and toddlers are taught from birth that pooing in ur diaper is the "right" thing to do , so is it really fair to let them keep on doing this till they are 3 or 4 , not in my books .
just for the record , my son is 18 months , he drags me to the toilet when he needs to wee and poo , he just wont wee on the toilet . he knows very well whats going on .

try not to make a big deal about what he is doing wrong... praise him for what he's doing right! if he is doing a poo and feeling like a good boy then he might feel like he'd want to wee too.
if you cant catch his wee's in time try taking him every hour or every 2 hours (thats what i did) and he will learn to go when you take him.
if he wee's on the floor then say 'whoops!! maybe next time you tell mummy and we go to the toilet?' thats what i did. they dont like the feel of wet jocks.
good luck and try not to stress. i used to and it really didnt help!

he is giving you all the que's that he needs more time. i soooo dislike hearing about mommy's frustration with potty training their 'difficult' children...when really REALLY you are commanding him to do something he is not ready for.
my suggestion....wait a week or so and try again...have daddy talk to him, show him how to wee standing up....its not that important that you would REALLY consider pushing on his internal organs! sheesh....
eta: so is he 4 or 18 months? what the heck are you talking about? of course babies are born being 'taught' its ok to poop and pee in their diaper...what the heck kind of statment is that?
you are ridiculous, why did you ask for advice if you don't want any. you want him trained (though he is not ready) you don't want to do a rewards based program and you don't want advice and you don't want to be honest about how old the kid even is...why are you in here?

this means he is not ready to pee on a toilet or potty. there is always a time for a child to be ready. all children are different. you should look up Freud he is a psychologist. he came up with anal fixation. this says that children are potty trained too early or too late late and conflicts with this will resurface as they get older. look it up.

relax & let his bladder and bowels fully mature. this can take up to 4 more years, so learn patience now.
