another suggestion is to buy him his favourite character pants-such as thomas the tank, bob the builder etc....

i think you are doing the best you can with his age, and sometimes boys take longer then girls, and i know as i have a boy and 2 girls, and the girls wizzed through it...Any way the way i did it with my boy was we started a star chart ob the fridge, and everytime he did his number 1s on the potty he got one star, and 2 stars for number 2s.....At the end of the week i used to take him shopping and he would get himself a littte treat -car, book etc...Your little boy needs reassurance not critisism,.and i know its frustrating but it does work out in the end....Good luck and i hope it all works out for you and your little man

i put my son in jocks and we played outside... for #1 he learnt real quick as he hated the feeling of it running down his legs and as for #2 we had a few messes but i made him clean most of it up and he didnt like that much he had just turned 3 then though so he was a fair bit older than your son... try the jocks thing hey... and you might be able to make a little progress... they don't like the smush of #2 as well so even if you have to clean up a few times he might get it?

hi, if you think he is ready, maybe its time to get the favourite toy involved or even yourself! i know it sounds stupid but get a little water and put it in the potty, sit toy or yourself on the potty, pretend toy/you did it, and make a big deal about it, run around the room saying ''look what the toy/ i did!''
and show him, it could get him worked up to try it next time if he sees you praise the toy,
but like alot has said here, he is still little and it takes time and he will do it when he is ready,

hope it helps

I dont think at this age u should push to hard but i do agree wtih them getting used to the idea of the potty at this age ... I had problems getting my last son toilet trained at three but the one idea that was given to me and worked a dream was to start a sticker book for him .. instead of food treats and toys n stuff .. we went to the shops and he chose some stickers that he liked and got a exercise book we decorated it and called it his toilet book ... every time he went to the toilet he would get to put a sticker into it ... when he got a certain amount he would get a treat .. if he did a poo he got two stickers ... he loved it because he chose the stickers and everything else himself.. it is jsut an idea u might like to try ... some of the treats he got was choosing what to have for dinner or getting to choose his own treat or toy himself ... at the same time as toilet training it is also helping him to be independant and decision making

I think that you could just keep persevering,gently and with patience though.He is old enough to get the idea but sometimes getting to relate the impulse to go and actually getting on the potty in time take a bit to master.All children do this in their own time,we just have to keep assisting them till they master this milestone.Good luck regards Merle

My little man is 20 months old and he does exactly the same thing. I personally don't think he is too young I would just keep perservering. When Zack does his business on the floor I tell him gently that he should have done it in the potty and then I don't say anymore. He has peed in his potty once and we made a huge fuss over it and told what a good boy he was and gave him a treat. I know he will eventually get the idea. I think if you stop now he will think you are giving in and next time he could do the same thing hoping that you will stop again. Kids are a lot smarter than given credit for.

Good luck

He isn't ready - leave him for a few months and try again.  Potty training under-2s is really young, especially boys!  Girls tend to be far 'quicker' in this area.  If you push to hard it could turn into quite the nightmare!!!  Good luck.

22 months? That may be a little young. You usually have to keep trying if they aren't ready. Some babies aren't ready until they are 2 1/2 to be potty trained. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but its true. He probably isn't ready. Wait a few months and try again.
