Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school Taking Advantage of Potty Curiosity

Bear (2yr 7m) has read potty books and his bottom actually touched the potty once, but that's it at this point. he knows he has to be potty trained to go to the school his brother attends part time and he REALLY wants to go. I suggest trying the potty and his response is "NO! I use my diaper." However we had a discussion the other day and he has agreed to try using the potty after Halloween because he wants big kid underpants. Now I'm certain he will remember, but the question is will he change his mind??? Sigh...

They definitely all learn at their own paces!! I'm sure he'll come around eventually w/k.

We're getting really good at doing the potty run, but no success yet . We had ALLOT of accidents yesterday, this morning so far we've had two peed pants but they were either immediately before/on-route to the potty or immediately after mommy thought he didn't really have to go (bad mommy!!). So we're getting closer .
