When to Potty Train

My son will be 2 in Feb. My husband is so determined to have him potty trained by the age of 2. I would love this, however, I have read that if you force it upon an unwilling child, that it can cause the potty training to be set back even more. We expecting our 2nd in March, and I think that my husband does not want to deal with diapers for both. I want him to be potty trained, but I want it to be successful. When do you think is a good age for potty training? What are some techniques to help him understand?

Night Time Potty Training

Ok ladies, I need your advice once again, your advice for daytime potty training worked before, now I need help with nightime. My son just turned 4 and I want to night time potty train him. He goes pottty before bed, when I go to bed and if I get up with my baby during the night, but he puts up such a fight he can wake the entire house, there are times my husband actually has to pick him up out of bed and carry him to the bathroom.

When to Potty Train?

I am at a stump here as to when is the right time to try potty training. My 18 month old daughter has a potty that we let her play with and she has shown interest in using. We have videos and books and show her how it is done, but I'm really worried that I may be starting too early. She has gone pee in the toilet and she was so excited and I thought that we were well on our way to having a miracle early potty trainer, but then she lost interest. Do I get her to pay more attention to the potty now or do I just let her be? Help me out. ...

Toddler Refuses to Poop in the Potty!

My 2 1/2-year-old has been potty training for the last 6 months. She goes to daycare and they have been potty training her. She does great when she needs to tee-tee and will tell us everytime she needs to go so we make it to the potty on time. But she refuses to poop in the potty. She will poop in her panties every time. We will tell her over and over to poop in the potty and she will even tell us that she's supposed to poop in the potty and not in her panties but she never goes to the potty. It is so frustrating.
