scared of potty

[staceyemm]

My 2 and a half year old is terrified of the potty. he just wont used it. I even took him to let him pick a potty for hiself cost me a fortune but he still wont used it, any one in same situation? or been in this situation? how did u get past it?

Let him play with it. Sounds absurd, but I used to pretend DS's teddys were all excited about doing wee-wee's on a potty. DS loves his potty now, just a case of getting him to remember that he still needs to use the potty when he has his pants on
