Quote From: onemoretymeI currently have custody of my 2 1/2 yr old grandson. We have had him for a year now. About 9 mo ago he was getting the idea of a potty, so we bought him one. The kids he spends the day with are around his age and was interested when they were interested. One of the girls parents stopped training her when she had accidents. Now he doesn't want to go either. He used to tell me that his diaper needed to be changed. Not anymore. He knows when he is pooping, because he "hides".
Some things have changed in our lives, but not major. He sees his mother, but she is just a playdate. There is no "connection" to her. She will start taking him overnights one day on the weekends (keep me heavily medicated while he is gone, please) and I am not sure if she will follow through with potty training? WHAT DO I DO?
Hi there.
Kids of that age canbe very stubborn. They want to do everything as they wish, and the do not allow you to tell them something. The are young adolescents haha. Funny as it may sound, i know that this is difficult for parents. 'What you may consider is giving hem rewards for peeing in the potty. You may consider making a calendar with free spaces for stickers. And everyday he keeps his pants dry, you paste a sticker on it. And if he gets 5 stickers, you buy 'm a present (or do a game with him, or whatever he likes, you are the one who knows best). Try to avoid commanding him, and respect his wish to do things in his way and in this tempo.
I hope i've helpend.
