On top of the other ideas, I found that my boys didn't give a hoot about the feeling of wetting or soiling their nappies, but they hated the feeling if they were wearing normal underpants. So I used that to my advantage and during the day I'd set aside underpants time, and prepared to clean up accidents and rush them to the toilet at the drop of a hat as soon as opportunity arose.

It worked wonders within a few days for my eldest boy. My youngest... he didn't toilet train until he was almost 5, but that's a disability thing, not any fault of either mine or his. But he still hated the wet/soiled underpants feeling - he just tried to get around it by perpetually taking them off!

I have just started the toilet training process myself.
It is takings a little while but i have a few suggestions.
Buy your toddler a potty chair from the BIG W...it is like $50 but well worth the money as it transforms into a stool and big toilet seat after wards,
What i do with my daughter is use pull up nappys instead of grip tabs.
I also take her to the toilet every half an hour and give her a book to read. I sit her there for 5 minutes...giving her enough time to do her business and stuff and then i get her some toilet paper, allowing her to wipe herself.
I think the best idea is to take him every 1/2 hour and fill him up with plenty of fluids (water) making him want to wee, also for a while, perhaps if you can show him what to do by pulling down your pants and sitting on the toilet and doing a wee this might help too!
Good luck!

everytime you or your partner goes to the toilet take him to his potty also ,, you will have to keep asking him throughout the day do you want to go potty etc,,,

everytime me or my partner goes to the toilet we both cheer for eachother so that he sees its a good thing to do , he even claps for us also lol

ive been toilet training my 2 year old all summer its been a slow process but he has gone in the potty  we kiss and hugg and cheer for him and he likes that ,since its been hot i dont have any pants or nappies on him at home ,,,, with my son i see the signs of knowing when he wants to go potty ( either going to the corner to hide when he wants to go number twos and for number ones he grabs at it and has a little pannic cause he knows he hasnt got any nappies on ,

other people have done sticker charts and rewards for going to the potty

they have a huggies web site you can also download a potty chart thats colourful for them and you put a sticker on it everytime they have gone   www.huggies.com.au

you can print one off from your computer on this site they also have toilet training tips on that site also ..

 

I would firstly buy him a potty and ask him to try it out just get him to sit on it even if he does nothing, maybe read to him while sitting on potty, tell him what a good boy he is for sitting on potty. Then you could start sitting him on toilet but remember its a big deal so try and buy him some pullups and maybe get a little step so he can step up to the toilet, all the while telling him what a good boy he is, it makes them feel very special. When he does something in potty or toilet make a really big deal of it, kids love this and because you are happy with them and have made it fun he will want to do it more. Goodluck.

pull ups are great, instead of getting him to tell you when he needs to go to do number 1s or 2s my suggestion would be when he gets up in the morning take him to the toilet, then again after breeky, then again after morning tea, then again after lunch, then again after afternoon tea and then again after tea and again before bed, i know its seems like alot. but this is how i used to train the kids at day care. don't forget to praise him when he does something we even had stickers we used to give the kids when they did wees in the toilet, to give them insentive, make it fun for him as he will enjoy it more rather then thinking it is something he has to do. i did right an article up on it its in my homepage if you would like to check it out. good luck!!! and don't worry you will get there the key is persistanct. i hope i have helped you out a bit Brittxx
