4 out of 5 isn't bad... Right??
I have successfully potty trained 4 kids. WHY does #5 have to be the deal breaker? I have tried all the usual tricks and nothing is working. He wants to wear underwear but then pees (mostly poops) in them.
We have tried:
~buying his favorite character underwear
~sticker chart
~ Sitting on the potty every 15 minutes. {he will climb off and walk out of the bathroom to poop in his underwear}
~M&M's each time he at least tries (1), more for pee (3), even more for poop (5).
~getting a toy and he can't open it til he is accident free for 1 week
Did I miss anything?? Last week he was accident free {day/night, nap time and going out} for 3 days and then poop in his underwear twice in 1 day. Everyday for 3 days. Finally I put him back in diapers. He was mad and threw a fit but I can't deal with anymore poopy underwear.
I guess when he is really ready he will just do it right? No one has ever had a first grader wearing underwear right?? Right?? I would love some tips and tricks. Maybe you know something that worked that I have missed. Thanks!!!

Hi from a fellow Kangacoo fan :-) We had this dvd called Potty Power, it had catchy songs my daughter enjoyed and seemed to inspire her.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! We have an Elmo Potty DVD and a Pull Ups DVD but I haven't used them on him. Thanks for the reminder!! And thanks for coming over from Kangacoo!
