    I don't know about boys but my girl was like that & I got her some character panties she liked I let her pick them out then I said if you wear these I will give you a little treat. Then I told her at nighttime she can wear pull ups. Took a while & a few accidents but it eventually worked

    Most youngsters are able to begin potty coaching among 18-36 months. My daughter is close to 21 months and simply began potty coaching. You have to look ahead to indicators like in need of a diaper modified, going off in individual to head within the diaper, realizing the way to pull pants down, staying dry for the period of naps, curiosity in adults utilizing the toilet, capacity to comply with sensible recommendations. If she's displaying those indicators, then she is able. Get her a potty seat and a couple of potty books, and you're prepared. Make potty time a a laugh enjoy via studying, making a song, gambling video games. You will even move at the grownup rest room while to set an illustration. Remember, potty coaching takes tons of endurance because the baby learns. They are used to going within the diaper, so this is a enormous difference and injuries will occur. And nightime bedwetting might nonetheless arise for a pair years even after she is the entire manner potty proficient, however that's typical. Try utilizing pull usatraining diapers for the period of the learning method so she has whatever like lingerie, however now not rather there but in case of injuries. (And a consistent diaper at night time). I endorse studying "The No Cry Potty Solution" via Elizabeth Pantley - I have discovered it very useful.

    I Agree with the other comments. What character or show does he like? Buy those kind or buy a kind that resembles a male figure in his life (dad wears fruit of the loom boxer briefs) so get him those kind so he is a big boy like daddy. Also, just put them on him regardless of if he likes it or not. Do yourself a favor and do not cater to his need for this. Don't let him run the show so to speak. My child tries this all the time! Just say no, big boys wear underwear.

    Have you tried taking him to the store and picking out his own underwear? Maybe he does like the kind (briefs, boxers, boxer briefs)?

    Or putting the underwear on over the diaper? or under the diaper?

    or buying some cloth training underwear? (the ones with plastic on the outside)
