Wait He isn't ready and fighting will just cause you both a ton of frustration. Take a step back and wait few weeks to start again. At this point if you are already fighting, it is no longer about pottying, but a battle of wills.

You might want to restart after a while with just having him sit on his potty while you sit on yours. Put the little potty in the restroom and have him join you. He can leave his pants up or pull them down, his choice, but just get him used to being there without a fight and it will help with the training when he is more ready.

I really recommend buying this book using the techniques in it. I got it from my aunt who had two sons, and have passed it around to tons of friends, all who love it and have had great success. It is a technique that was originally used with special needs children, but works with any child.

Time and reverse thinking I answered another question on this board where I said give him time. I have two boys, my youngest is pretty smart and he won't go on the potty either. I know he knows the routine and knows what to do but he is stubborn.

I put him in a pair of underwear on a day when he had a lot of fruit, my wife and I don't allow candy in the house. (If they want candy they know enough to get the 2 pound bag of grapes from the fridge. ) Anyway, he has his favorite halloween costume, it's one of those Power Ranger costumes with the poofy muscles and all that, cape , mask.

We put him in that, and we watch for the cue's we call it the pee pee dance. I asked if "hey you want to go sit on the potty? " "NO!" he says... So after a few minutes or so he went, he was a mess and he was very upset about his costume.

My wife and I were not eager to clean up either, but it seems to have worked, he has his costume back, the stars are perfect alignment, so his world is OK. Now when he goes if he misses its Oh Oh daddy not NO..

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.
