How to toilet train children

[sesame]

:oops:


Hmm... My 6 years old is still in diapers at night. Tried diaperless but she sleeps right through the soaked sheets and PJs. Great huh? She was diaper free in the day since 2.5 years though by the work of herself.

Pounding through various websites (mainly ang moh ones), it seemed that parents over there were more relaxed than us when it comes to toilet training.

They always says that when the child is ready, she is ready. Nothing before. It is a physical condition more than a mental attitude.

I since became more relaxed abt this condition with the exception of running around to find cheap brands of diapers to buy in XXL sizes

My dh and I can't stand the naggings anymore. Pil keep saying ds, 21mth old, so big still can't tell went pee or poo. So big still can't talk.

They don't understand that he's very selective in who he talks to.

My dd toilet trained herself before she was two.. Kinda hoping same thing will happen with ds but to no avail.

I've tried mil mtds. But it just doesn't work out.

One, let him go bare, only wearing shorts. If he pees, beat his bottom n scold. No use..
Two, every now n then bring him to toilet n ask him to pee or poo. Used to wk but hard to when my dd is ard n need to tutor her..

Now, whenever he pees or poop in his nappies, he won't come to me to change. Funny is that he will only let me change.

Now, what shld I do? I've read thru all the post but can't seems to find one that fits ds..:(

I understand that it is tougher to train boys... My 22 months' son is also diaper-ed. Strangely, he doesnt like taking off his \"protective layer\". You should tell your ILs that you have a fren (me) whose son is very good in talking at 22 months but STILL CANNOT say he wants to go to the toilet. :celebrate:

I get the \"everything also know how to say but dunno how to tell shh shh\" instead :roll:

toilet trg for the night is really challenging…we have to wake up twice at night (midnight and 3/4 am) to wake them up to go to the toilet. We are slowly trying to reduce the wake up calls to once a night.

Prob is that I can't talk to pil.. Everytime I say something, they say I retort them.. Currently trying another way with ds, he knows how to tell me after, will say wet wet than I'll tell him too late to say when wet, must say before. Today, he managed to tell mi that he wans to poo n he really did it! So proud of him.

Very good!!! Actually I think toilet training starts from this... they have to learn that they are wet first. Then learn to associate the urge feeling to \"wanting to shh shh\". Take heart!!!


Best way to deal with ILs is \"Orh, yes, ok.\"

Ds was still wearing pull-ups at 3+. Very maru. It seemed like one day, he could pee in the potty by himself. But he would take a pull-ups from the cupboard and passed to us to put on for him whenever he needed to poo. He actually poo in pull-ups. No pull-ups, no poo. We hid the pull-ups so that he couldn’t find it and he poo in his pants for a few days. After that he sat on the potty. He refused to wear diapers at night. I tried to put on the diapers after he slept but he would wake up and cry. No choice, just let him be. He stopped peeing on the mattress after a month. We replaced the mattress and there hasn’t been any accident till now. Last year, my friend’s dd (3+) was still wearing pull-ups day and night as compared to her peers. Now at 4+, she is totally pull-ups free and goes to the toilet by herself at night. Some of her peers still need diapers at night although they were toilet-trained (in the morning) at a much younger age. Just let them take their time, they will out grow the diapers or pull-ups.

Hi, my ds is 23mths old & we decide to train him to pee in the potty, he has been doing his big biz in potty but not always, sometimes he still poo in his diaper. BUT he refused to stand & pee & would want to sit & pee. How how? I told him boys stand & pee & he has been seeing how my 33mths old nephew peeing in the potty.He would struggle when I asked him to stand & pee.. Hiaz... :?

So happy today… Finally managed to get started ds on toilet training. After pooing in the diaper after his morning milk n bread, he pee during the shower. From then, no pee when I bring him to the squatting kind of toilet at intervels of 30min or less. Even after his porridge at around 1030, still no pee. He didn’t even pee in his nap. Woke up after 1hr +, no pee. Brought him to toilet again. So happy that he pee. Even requested more milk after that. Normally, he’ll only take 5ounces but he managed to take 7. When I ask him if he wans to pee, he just walked to the toiler and wait for me to take off everything n pee. But right after that was 3 misses in the nappies, 1 miss on the floor during dinner time. Right before sleep, had him to pee. Hopefully he will remember to go to the toilet when he wans to pee tomorrow when he wakes up.

Opps. Ds loves to see the bubbles that appear when he pees… Lolz…
