I have a 4 yr old son and when I was potty training him, I used a wet erase marker and drew funny faces in the bottom of the potty. He went pee on it and thought it was the funniest thing on earth because it would desolve right away. He was potty trained very quickly! I think it was only about 2 days and he was potty trained. I also used a sticker system along with it. I put a sticker on a homemade chart everytime he went on the potty AND everytime he attempted to make it ...even if he didn't. At least he tried. When it came time for poop, that was longer but I used the sticker system as well. When he got a certain amount of stickers, I took him somewhere extra special. Eventually he got the idea and was fully potty trained both day and night.

My aunt was strict about potty training. With her son she would use the prize method where he would go potty and when he was successful she would give him a high five and a sticker or sometimes she would take the toys from happy meals and use them as a prize if he earned a certain amount of stickers in a week. She would only give him milk before bed or sometimes he wouldn't get liquids at all before bed. She would also limit his liquid intake when it got to be 4 or 5 pm. Every 2 hours she would remind him to go potty if he was playing.

My psychology instructor advised me to be patient and that my son would pick it up little by little. He advised that when we are home have him wear under ware only and take him to the restroom every 2 hours. Let him play with his toys on top of a bed sheet, he will dislike the feeling of being wet and will start holding his penis when he is ready to potty. At night he definitely wears pull-ups.
Good luck

I potty experienced my 18 month previous son very rapid. the secret's to place him on the pot each and every quarter-hour. Don no longer take him off for no less than 10 minutes. compliment him while he is going. If there's a guy interior the abode tell the guy to how the tot how a great boy is going wee. take him into the bathing room with the guy. it works. i comprehend.

When I was potty training my daughter the doctor told me to give her lots of water (yours already drink a lot of water) and sit them down in their potty every 1 hr or to begin every 30 min to start timing the frequency. good luck!
