POTTY TRAINING

My older boys would aim for cheerios that I would put in the toilet. Sink the cheerio game. My older daughter was almost 4 before she was trained. She would hide behind the couch and go in her undies after sitting on the potty for a long time!

Anyone have any helpful hints? Chris

I work at an adult day care center, most of the participants are elderly (they come spend the day with us while their families are at work, and then go home with their families at night), one of the participants was giving me advice on potty training my twins and he told me about putting cheerios in the toilet to help with potty training my son, (you said that your older boys did that, have you tried it with your younger son). My son is potty trained & my daughter does good during the day but I still have her wear pull-ups at night. Its late I better go to bed. Bye for now

They were born premie. I wonder if that has anything to do with it? My other kids were not this difficult.

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to getting to know you!

Your Frien, Chris

Between my own kids and my daycare kids - I've always used cloth trainers and a potty timer. I set the timer for how long I think they need to go again, then when the timer goes off, it's "pee-pee time!" Usually they end up going, but we do have lots of accidents too. I also have a potty that sets on the adult toilet, and one that's on the floor. We go potty in groups, and I let them decide which potty they want to use.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the advice! Your Friend,Chris
