Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 Please be sure and keep us posted. My three old son needs to be potty trained. It's just the consistency is our biggest problem. Also, at times he doesn't seem interested. Good Luck, CASSIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 > We just bought the video Once Upon a Potty Hi, ! I've been eyeing that video, wondering if it might be good for Brett, and now I'm planning to buy it tomorrow! We have to have him potty trained by September in order for him to stay in his typical preschool class, so I'm looking for any and all ideas. He loves to watch the Bear in the Big Blue House potty video, but I think the attraction there is Bear more than the potty. Maybe something more to the point will help... Thanks for the tip!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 I don't know if this would be of any help, but I'll share anyway. My ds is somewhere on the spectrum but not sure where yet but is definitely at the higher end. We finally got him potty trained last July (he was 3 1/2 years old). We had been trying to get him to do it for quite awhile but he just wouldn't, but he made comments that let us know that he could, he just didn't want to. Soooo, I finally put him regular underwear and jeans and told him he was a big boy and that he can't wear diapers during the day anymore. He wet himself and thought that it was just horrible--wet jeans are the key here. I helped him change into another pair of underwear and jeans and told him to use the potty next time. He wet again and that time he had to change himself. He only wet one more time and he has never wet his pants again. The next day he had a BM in his pants once and that was the end of that. I think the key was his sensory issues with the wet jeans. Hope this helps. in Houston. Re: Potty training video > Please be sure and keep us posted. My three old son needs to be potty > trained.

One at 30 months and the other right at 3 but I had them watch the video long before they were ready. My son 3yo on Good Friday has watched the video several times too. I am in a awkward place with him. He shows all interest and typical signs he is ready. Pulls his pants up and down, imitates sitting on potty, even stands like his big brother with diaper off over the toilet and loves to flush. But he is starting his new preschool handicapped program on April 17th so I am reluctant to remove his diaper and let him try. He also needs to see a urologist at the end of the month to determine if he needs surgery. He has a fat pad around the area that makes his penis disappear. Which may or may not resolve itself. He is just turning 3 and is still young. I don't want to push him especially with everything going on but do worry that I will squelch his interest. I found with my 2 other boys that I just had to let them go without the diaper and have some accidents before they really got it. I did also buy the book with the video along with another book. If your child likes looking at the pictures in a book I would certainly suggest that you get the book as well. Oh and btw I hate preschools that have a rule they have to be potty trained. All children are individuals and simply may not be ready when they are ready to go to preschool. I was able to find a great preschool for my other 2 boys that never insisted on this. Also, I have heard of many a mom that just put the pull up on their child and sent them off without the preschool ever being the wiser.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2001 Report Share Posted April 7, 2001 Hi all... I think we are nearing the potty thing. Gillian is 31 months and has been pooping in the corner (in her diaper), embarassed when she poops, pulling at her diaper when it's wet. My question is how verbal are your kids? What signs do you use? Gillian has growing receptive language and is verbal in that she has 150 words in her vocab, expressivly using 20 or so. We have a PEC of potty and she loves helping me potty. What do you think, should we give it a go? in Chicago Re: Potty training video >I don't know if this would be of any help, but I'll share anyway.

I have the " pull-up plan " as a backup, but for social reasons, I really want him to be trained for real. About the preschool: The school is GREAT, and Brett has been there since he was 18 months old (before we realized he had any problems!) He has been in class with the same group of kids the whole time, and I really want to keep him with those kids for socialization. There is another 3yo class that has 2 teachers and a bathroom off the classroom that he could go in whether or not he is trained. However, the class with his " friends " is smaller, has just one teacher, and the bathroom is across the hall. So, if I want him in that particular class, he has to be trained. I'm off to buy the video (and book!) Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
