Potty Training in 3 Days - Rockwall,TX

My husband and I did the potty training in 3 days program with our own spin on it. When you are trying to potty train the most important thing to remember is that just because it worked for someone else doesn't mean it works for everyone. What's right for one might not be right for another. We started off with a cheap potty training doll from Walmart (http://www.amazon.com/Lots-Love-Drink-Baby-Doll/dp/B00099.... Our son first taught the doll how to use the potty like a big boy. Then after that we filled our son with liquids and asked him every few minutes if he had to teetee. If he said "no" we would let him go on about his business and keep asking until he either had an accident or would say "yes" and go teetee. If he did have an accident we would go from the accident spot to the potty 10 times while explaining (nicely) that we don't teetee on the floor. To help cut down on the messes on the floor, bed, etc. you might look into buying training pants. They are real underwear with just a little bit more padding to absorb liquid (http://gerberchildrenswear.com/products/subcategory.aspx?.... When he would tell us that he had to go teetee and he actually went in the potty and not in his pants, we would throw a "Potty Party". A lot of expense doesn't need to go into this. My son LOVES Spongebob so I went to Walmart and bought Spongebob party hats and whistles and made a big deal if he did what he was supposed to. I should also mention that when the doll went teetee in the potty, we all participated in a party for the doll so my son would see that you get a party if you do what your supposed to do. It took about a week with a few accidents for the following month but overall it was fairly easy. It can be frustrating and exhaustating but so worth it. Our son is potty trained and completly out of diapers. Even at night. Best Wishes and Good Luck!

I would start with the 18 month old as well. All 3 of my kids were potty trained by 22 months. I feel that there is a early age to train and goes a lot better. I have several friends who have waited to potty train and are still haveing troubles. Maybe if the 18 month old gets the hange of it the 32 month old will join in.

Also, my boys seamed to do better starting off when I put them on the potty backwards. Gives them something to hold onto plus less of a mess to clean up.

Good luck on potty traing!

try it, but i highly doubt it will work in 3 days. maybe 3 weeks or 3 months....

Just start it..Stick to it.. I bet even your 18 month old will do it with the oldest one doing it....
You just got to get him started and stay on top of it.
Good luck

I potty trained both of my boys in less than one week. They were both ready and I was completely consistent. You don't need any secrets and I definitely wouldn't buy into any ads. Just put him on the potty every hour (I used my cell phone alarm to remind me) and reward him when he goes, and if he has an accident explain to him what happened, how it happened and how big boys keep it from happening. I also went so far as to have them help me clean it up. A little positive reinforcement, the "daddy does" talk, and just being completely relentless should do it!!

I don't know about doing it in 3 days but a week or two sounds more reasonable. Remember... if you push your kids into doing something and it doesn't feel like a game anymore then they may not want to continue doing it. I got sick and tired of diapers so when my son (my second kiddo) was 2 1/2 I went to target and bought lots of underwear and got my son excited about it. "Big boy underwear" with spiderman and sponge bob, ect... I reminded him that we didn't want to mess up his new underwear and asked him about every 30 minutes if he needed to go. Yes... he would have accidents... but... he quickly realized that being in clothes that are now soaked in pee wasn't any fun. I would change him after each accident and remind him that when he had to go to the bathroom he needed to do it in the potty. Everytime he went I would make a HUGE deal about it. I bought a bag of M&M's and everytime he used the potty he would get 2 pieces of candy. That was the only time that he would get those M&M's. Everytime he would ask for one I would remind him that he has to use the potty and he would get some more. Consistency is the key to this. Once you start it... don't stop!!! Still use pull ups at night but once your little one "gets it" then he will probably start holding it longer through the night. Good luck!!!
