Spongebob Toilet Seat

I performed all the steps that I read in parenting magazines. I tried incentives videos, I tried, I even tried a toilet seat SpongeBob SquarePants (the kid loves SpongeBob) and I still can not go. I fell for one week or two, and he still can not go, he will lie about when he does, and he'll cry when it needs to go. It is two and a half years, and I really want him to be clean. Sometimes, at random points in the day, he will tell me when he has to do, but it may have already disappeared, or he'll never do that day. He always tells me when he wakes up. Suggestions?

I trained my son pot in a week. I kept a coat out of him all during the day (not night), then whenever I even want to go incling him (he stopped what he was doing, start to pee, grunting or was it 20 minutes or so, etc.), I grab him and rush to the potty. He had filed to go there because it would go anyway and I felt super excited and really make a huge deal out of it. He quickly realized that the toilet is the place to do it and had begun to run into him and he called me to come and clap and make a big deal he did. As I said, only took one week.

Wait until it is closer to 3 years. old. Boys are sometimes a little slower than girls in this regard. And please, do not force it, or you may have problems over the years later, the line about it.
Relax. I trust that you have a small pot. The reg. Toilet is a bit big for small, they may be afraid of him, think they can fall in, wash it down. Do not let him even think that if you can.
You said that you always say when he wakes up.
Annex, when he wakes up first to make pot. Before or after each meal, go to pot. Before going to bed, go to pot. And he will tell you another time, as he catches.
Whatever ---- do not punish accidents. My ex-husband has done with our son - I had problems because of it.
Just help her clean, fresh clothes (if necessary) and focus on the day.
Please relax, take one day at a time, reverse, when you start, make a schedule, depending on how he feels comfortable.
Also, is the father in the picture? At home? Seeing Dad go pot helps too. And throwing Cheerios in the toilet (when it reaches this stage) also contributes to the "target" to pee ...
Take care.

best advice ... do not give up. you must be consistent. the average is about every 20 to 30 minutes to keep taking them to the bathroom ... even if they have nowhere to go. so we have done with my little girl.

Good luck!

I understand exactly where you are coming because I went through the same thing w girls my 3 yr / old twins. Personally, I think a child can not form pot until he / she understands what that means either potty-trained and can understand what it means to know when you go to the toilet. I probably put out more then I am, but I tried and tried, but when I put them on the toilet they had to sit and stay there and do nothing. I ended up learning not too long and your question, I see that your son understand what it means to feel when to go, as it did before, he can just (and I know what happens to his illness, but my child were in the same way), but it can still be lazy. What I did was go to the dollar store and buy paper intensive construction and lots of stickers and other different things and I decorated the board with their names, and I let them know it was "list pot and each time they went on the potty, they were allowed to put a sticker on the board and each time they are 10 stickers I got to buy them a small gift of their choice . If your son lov.
