potty training...help!!

[Desirae]

My son has been taking off his diaper when it is too wet, or when he has gone poo poo. I think it's time to potty train, but I'm clueless on how. He's not even 2 yet, so I need some ideas...please!

that's good, he feels unconfortable when he's wet.
lance started by watching his dad, we used to tell him, "you are a big boy now, like daddy" and he liked that, everythime he went pee we celebrate and sometimes i would give him m&m (his favorite candy) as a reward. after that i would ask him, every 30 minutes, do u need to do potty? and sometimes even tho he said no, i would take him anyway,
the #2 was harder, he didn't like to sit on the potty, he finally got a hold of it, and now he goes very often. sometimes there are accidents, but he's getting better.
good luck, is a lot of work, but is so much fun. there are some dvd and also videos on u tube that give u tips.
bye....

Men’s Health Magazine (Sept. '08 issue) is recommending Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro by Teri Crane. My husband picked us up a copy after reading the article. IT REALLY WORKS!!

Everyone is talking about throwing a "potty party" to potty train a child. I was so desperate, I was willing to do anything. Her book outlines 10 themed parties. What kid doesn't love to play and pretend? All my mommy friends have successfully potty trained their kids with her book too.

Honestly, when I first learned of this book, I thought NO WAY! Maybe this would work on a little girl, but NOT a BOSSY, 2-1/2 year old BOY. NO WAY! Guess what? It REALLY WORKED!!! Teri Crane SAVED MY SANITY!!! Her book was easy to read, funny and extremely helpful. I can't thank Teri enough. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to EVERY parent. It will save you much grief and frustration. Potty training shouldn't be difficult, we as parents make it difficult because we don't know what to do. Teri teaches you. Buy the book, it's the best money you will ever spend

Most amazingly, I had some questions, so I called the author, and she CALLED ME BACK!!

I am going crazy trying to potty train my 2 year old. She goes when she wants but I ask her all the time if she wants to go and she says "no". and I heard your not supposed to force them.
