Potty Training Not Working!!

My doctor told me pull ups are a waste of time and actually confusing to the child. I would try taking him to the store, letting him pick out big boy underwear, and then wear those instead. He just might hate the feel of the pee pee when it runs down his leg as opposed to the pull ups.
Of course my daughter is only 2-1/2 so we really just have been trying to potty train and she pees in her new panties and couldn't care less about running around wet. I'm kinda a believer that when they are ready they are ready..... Good luck!!!

I would give it a week or so with out "training him" relax and take a break.
I know people put so much pressure on themselves and the toddler 3 and under to use the potty, it does all work out in the end and I truly don't believe he is trying to control the situation.
let him lead the way and you both will be happier.

Just before his second birthday, my two year old was very into potty training. I let him take the lead and he was just about there. He could tell me when he had to go potty, keep his diaper dry. I was thrilled because he initiated the whole thing from just watching his older brother. Sounds too good to be true? It was. One day, he just reverted back to diapers and refused to go to the potty. I asked his doctor how I can sort of 'close the deal', and he said you just can't. They do it when they are ready. I tried the big boy underwear and pull ups. No luck. Maybe you do just have to wait it out.

i have a boy who will be 3 in a few weeks. we have been trying to potty train too. he too will kick and scream if he doesnt want to sit on the potty, and he will also kick and scream if we try and put underwear on him. we have just decided to not force him so much and just try and relax more, which for me is more frustrating because im sick of changing his diapers! anyway, he has now gone a total of 3 times, each time has been several days apart, but its progress and he is showing a little more interest in it. one thing that may have helped is we have just been telling him how proud of him we are when he goes. and when he sits on it and doesnt go, i just say that im glad that he atleast tried. but i know its going to be a slow process. everyone tells me that boys take awhile to learn, i just keep telling myself that to feel better.

My son was about 3 when he finally trained. I agree with the advice about the real underwear- although it is quite messy. Have you tried those pull ups that let the child know when they're wet? My son loves to be naked, so what finally worked for him was letting him run around naked for a day and keeping the potty very close at hand so we could put him on it if he started to have an accident. We also did a sticker chart, and every time he peed or pooped on the potty we gave him a sticker. When he had 20 stickers we bought him a new toy. Bribery works!! Good luck!!

I'd forget the pull-ups and let him go "commando". That's what worked for my oldest boy. Maybe let him pick out some underpants that he wants.
Good luck.
