Potty training nearly 3 year old

[Harls123]

My little boy isn't developing towards the milestones as he should be, however ive started him on the potty .. hes done 2 wee's and a number 2...thats when I put him there... if I carry on putting him on should he get the hang of it? Or should I expect it to be a lot more challenging?

If he's getting it, go with it! My little girl was 16 months when she potty trained day and night wtf I genuinely didn't think was possible, but she smashed it.

If he is going with it, definitely go with him. I’m also doing this at the moment and finding it much easier than the first couple of times we have tried. When they are ready, they are ready!

Keep putting him on it 😊 explain what's happened while he's going and praise him loads when he gets off - even if he doesn't do anything that time, praise him for going to the potty to try for a wee/poo.

My son was later to potty train (not quite 3 but not far off) and he did get it pretty quickly. I did a 20 minute timer at home and practically conditioned him to go for a wee when the thing beeped 😂 gradually upped it to 30/40/50 minutes etc and then started trying him outside the house until he was able to communicate himself that he needed to go and I just started letting him tell me. He took about 3 weeks to get really good at it

Thanks for your advice ... we're currently going to speech and language therapy as he cant communicate really good so im more anxious, when we are at home Im going to keep putting him on it every 20 mins and hope he takes to it ok. my eldest smashed it straight away im just more anxious this time with him being delayed with a lot of things.... the joys of parenting lol

Do you sign with him? Makaton for toilet is a simple one and I'm sure high fives and a silly dance won't go amiss as praise for trying/going 😊 you'll work out your own way between you!

Hi, I hve a speech delayed child and we delayed lo mg er till 3 and a half as I couldn’t understand how he would learn without words. I have just been trying to remember how we coped. At home it wasn’t an issue as quite quickly he moved from potty to toilet and he would just go. Out and about he quickly recognised the toilet sign and could point to where he wanted to go.

we just used very simple words like wee wee and poo poo. He only started to ask to go to the toilet ina full sentence much later like age 6 after a lot of speech therapy.

sorry waffley answer but lack of speech didn’t hold him back from commicating.
