Busy mom 2 kids under 2 yrs, full time job. What is the best, fastest way to potty train?

Busy mom 2 kids under 2 yrs, full time job. What is the best, fastest way to potty train. My son is 20 months old and I have introduced him to the potty 4 months ago.

I work full time and I seem to only try training on weekends occasionally. I am worried that with a 3 month daughter, 20 month son, and a job I won't have time to spend 30 minutes in bathroom waiting on his maybe, maybe not potty. Most times he just thinks it's neat to sit there.

After so long I get him down, put on his pull up or diaper (whatever I have handy at the time), with in minutes he goes. I change him and try to explain, but I don't know if he doesn't get it or if I am missing something. I don't want time flying by and him being too old for diapers.

Desperately need any ideas! Thanks in advance! Asked by brennan08 42 months ago Similar questions: Busy mom kids yrs full time job fastest potty train Family.

WAIT He is way to young. Most boys are ready around 3, or at least that is what I learned in my foster parenting classes. Girls are often ready around 2, but boys take longer.

Don't push it, you have to WAIT until HE is READY! And with the larger diapers they have out for kids, and even older kids, don't worry. My 9yr old I am doing a foster/adopt with is a heavy bedwetter and cant hold it long so he has a lot of daytime issues.

We use Pampers 6 and its no big deal because I don't make a big deal of it. And that helps him a lot, and if needed there is size 7 pampers out now. He can wear his undies over them during the day if he wants to.

We tried goodnites but they leaked. The new underjams by pampers seem to work a lot better and we are saving those for school field trips n stuff just in case. Just not push him and make it harder because if you push too hard he will not want to do it at all until he is 4 or so.

One of the foster parents I know told me they order youth and adult small diapers online from a few compaines, so if we need them in the future I will condier that, so don't worry about gettitng too big...

Don't rush it... for boys, 2 is still young. The average age for boys to potty train is around 3, and doctors will tell you not to worry even if he is 4, its not uncommon. And if you make a big deal about it it will be more tramatic and can be a life issue later, and you don't want that.

Also don't use the "big Boy undies/ baby diapers" line or words, as when he is still wetting at night he will feel bad about the baby diapers and that is also very upsetting to a lot of kids. There is a reason Pampers now come in size 7! Pullups are for when he knows he can go and can start to control it and feel it coming.

Until then stick with diapers, They don't leak as much as a pullup does, and they cost less! Take it from a dad of 5 boys, it will happen. Mine are all adopted from fostercare so there are other reasons of abuse and such that affect them, and I have 2 that wear regularly in the day, 1 semi often 1 rarely and the 15 yr old is not at all days and almost no more nights (all mine are bedwetters but 15yr old is also dry!) Mine range form 5-15.

I use diapers as they work better, and they know its not their fault and when their body is ready to control it better it will. One was really touchy because he was teased at his old home and even a littel at a foster home by the other boys, and to him diapers are only for babies, and its was very tramatic and somethign he deals with in theropy because of the way his parents treated his potty training and him being a late trainer and having regular accidents and also night time issues.So please don't create any issue for your little ones. Hope this helps.

I know its not what you wanted to hear, but I know you want to do whats best for your kids!

No magical answers i'm sorry that I don't have any magical answers for you. My son was really easy to train, but my daughter is being kind of difficult (or lazy). Once in a while she goes in the potty, but most of the time she doesn't.

I know that you are a really busy woman, and I can try to give you this piece of advice. One thing that always gets to kids is consistency. My son was also enrolled in school during his potty training time and they told me not to send him to school in a pull up because it inhibits them from going.

I'm not sure if that's what helped him make the transition more easy, or not. If his school can't assist you with training him, maybe you could make sure that at home he stays in undies - all the time. He probably won't like making a mess in his undies.

Do nothing do nothing...wait until he's ready. It may be a year. Seems like a lot of boys could care less about it.20 months is too young.

He HAS to show an interest before you start. Look at the big picture...he won't be in pullups in kindergarten, they all eventually do it. You can boot camp him or wait and you'll still have the same result..

Too young, wrong parent Wait another 8-10 mos (or earlier if he starts taking his own pull-ups off) and then turn him over to his dad. That should get the job done in a day or two. And don't rush your daughter, either.

She probably won;t be ready until she is almost 2 yo. Hygiene, eating, personal habits should not become battlegrounds between parents and children. When a child is old enough, just deal with training issues matter-of-factly.

When they are uncomfortable with a dirty diaper, it's time to train. As soon as they can handle a toothbrush, brush alongside them for a while until they get the hang of it. When they can walk and carry toys, model for them, then expect them to do it on their own.

Don't make 'special' meals for them, feed them appropriate, well balanced meals and they will eat what they are given. (Junk foods can ruin their taste for healthier foods because they are too sweet, salty or fatty). Training kids is just as difficult as you make it.

Remember train them on their schedule, not yours but the standards should be yours, not theirs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
