Deliberately Peeing on the Carpet!

[SephrinaX]

Have been "Potty Training" DS (2.5) for over a week now. He's fine with using the potty but he keeps deliberately still peeing on the carpet. And not just accidents, he is actually forcing it and straining to pee.

Any tips on how to get him to stop this? We've been doing reward charts, stickers etc. He just seems to think it's funny!

Are you giving negative feedback or making fuss over the mess? If so - avoid it.

Don't make it a power-struggle between you either. He has all the tools go win :)

Peeing on the carpet needs to be the most boring thing ever.

2.5 year-olds really love drama and power.

Ramp up the positive reinforcement for going on the potty, eg buy big bag large choc buttons and he gets a choc button for every pee in the potty. The best piece of advice I got(my daughter was tt day and night in one week at 2.4) was set an alarm on your phone for every 30mins, every 30 mins put ds on potty. My dd was pooing in potty, dry at night but peed mostly on the floor for the first 6days, on day 7 we used this method and within a day she was going on the potty for a wee every time.

I potty trained my DD with chocolate buttons too! One for a wee and two for a poo

Thanks! I'll give the chocolate button method a go!

OP, have you got food colour in your kitchen? Put a drop in the potty/toilet and get your lo to wee in it and see if he gets excited at the change in colour?
If yes, weeing on carpet is now officially boring as one poster said 😁
