Is my preschooler ready to potty train?

by GabesMomLA

(July 2006) (rank 500+)

My son is now 2 years and 3 months old and I'm really hoping to have him potty trained before this baby comes. It seems like he has pretty regular schedules, however, he only tells me he has to go AFTER he's already done it. Any pointers on how to ready

him a little more? I had an idea about maybe in the morning when he wakes up, I could put him on the potty and tell him pee pee. He usually does his first poo about an hour or two after eating. Anyone with a baby around this age that could offer any help would be great. Thanks.

Meals

Try placing bub an potty after meals and drink not straight away but a few minutes let bub know that potty is a fun place to be give bub a book, if he does not do anything praise for trying

Hmm

Hard potty training is soo difficult only the child knows his / her bladder and they will have to recognise the feeling for themselves

It's hard work if you let it be

Encourage him even when he tells you he needs to go after the event. I found with Luke(4; now toilet trained for sometime) that the less I stressed, the better it worked. You will see the consensus is along these lines. Luke was 2 4/12 when Alyssa was born. He was toilet trained during the day by the time he was 3. I was the same....I wanted him out of nappies by the time babe came along. They do things in their own time and if they are pushed it can have the adverse reaction. read this post for further info on this stress less method http://www.minti.com/parenting-advice/701/Toilet-Training/

no pressure

at that age my daughter, now 3 1/2 was not "ready" for potty training. Nonethelese I exposed her to the potty but I did not apply any pressure on her, we read books on going to the potty but she had no interest in doing the deed in the potty. I still think it helped so that she was not afraid of it at all. Every now and then I'd put her on the potty. Things started changing when she was able to understanding when it was coming and when she was able to hold herself on the toilet. One day at 32 months I gave her princess panties and said we'd no longer wear diapers. I showed her a nice big birthday bag (with a dinosaur book inside) and said if she went to the potty all day at the end of the evening she'd get that bag. We stayed home all day and she had 1 accident and got the surprise at night for story time. 2nd day at home too she had 1 accident only. 3rd day we went out, no accidents all day, the rest is history!!
