My 3 year old absolutely refused to even go near her potty seat.  We tried bribing her with all of her favorites.  We even offered her ice cream for dinner and that didn't work.  We had to be aggressive and take off the diapers and put her in training pants (thick thermal undies that you can find in the infant and toddler section of stores like Target and Walmart).  The first 3 days were awful.  She peed everywhere but then things changed.  My daughter like most everyone didn't like the feeling of being in wet pants.  She started to go on the potty.  She was trained in 6 days.  I kept her in diapers during her nap and overnight but reinforced that she needed to tell me if she needed to go during this time. I also got in the habit of making her use the potty once she woke up whether she was wet or not.  Once she started waking up dry, I gradually took the diapers away during sleeptime.  First, she stopped wearing them during her nap.  Once she went a week like this, we stopped diapers at night.  It's been good so far but other moms have told me that they can still relapse (even after months of success) so don't get frustrated should this happen.  My daughter has also met her milestones late so this potty training success is really something else!!\n\nGood luck to you...you're a really great sibling to be so concerned and willing to help your brother with this really big event in his life :o)

Don't lesson to the other people. putting him into dresses does work. my 9yo son has been wearing dresses and panties for almost a year. and what a wonderfully change it made in him.\nKaren

Patience and dilagence on your part make sure you get him up to go before you go to bed if you go to bed fairly early set your alarm to get up around 1 am amnd have him get up to go he will get it eventually as long as his peditrician has found no other reason for this My daughter has a small bladder and this helped her tremendosly within 2 weeks we no longer had wet beds

I'd tell Llama and get him to have a quiet word with brother - after all - Llama knew when he got involved with mother that she came as a package and therefore he should expect to have to take his turn in sharing responsibility for the discipline.\n\nIf that doesn't work tell Shadow to let him have it and hold is Sponge Bob Square Pants Y Fronts to ransome until he stops

My little brother still does. Once we had to tackle him because he was beating the crap out of the fridge in his sleep. He was black and blue for a week. He used to run outside and even learned how to work locks in his sleep so we had to put a flip over style latch low too the floor. He couldn't ever figure it out. I would wake up with to hear lightly, "clank, clank, clank" it was my baby bro slowly pulling open the door only to be stopped by the latch. He would have this really confused look on his face and I would put him back in bed. LOL He used to call me Mom in his sleep and would ask if I could make whatever (usually incomprehisible at that point) better. I would say that I took care of it and he would go back to bed. He doesn't do it a whole lot anymore now that he has a new dog. For some reason having that mutt in his bed keeps him quite. Either that or he just grew out of it. I used to do it too (although I was never as bad as my brother) and now I rarely even talk in my sleep anymore. Hmmmmmmm...

As far as the medicine goes, I would just let her drink a lot of juice, that usually loosens the stools.  Praise her for going potty in the toilet.  Make up a chart with a pic of a potty with like 5 boxes next to it.  When ever she goes potty in the toilet let her put a sticker in 1 of the boxes.  And when she gets all 5 boxes filled, let her pick out a prize.  You can buy dollar store prizes and put them in a box so she can see what she is 'working' for, or you can take her to the park or get icecream.  Whenever she doesn't use the toilet, put an 'x' thru 1 of her stickers and remind her what a big girl she will be when she goes potty and let her know when ever she gets a sticker she only needs __ more to get a prize!!  That should keep her motivated and focus on the positive outcome of being a 'big' girl.

Try this on for size...Whisper this sentence into one of the kids ear. "My father told my brother that his monkey was digging in the back yard". Now have this student whisper the same sentence to the student next to them and so on until it reaches the last student. Have that student then tell you what he was told. You will be surprised at the answer you get. This works really well with kids age 10 to 15.

it is too late for your son if you dont shape up.if you are prepared to change,your son will be an angel or else you will end up hating yourself for turning your son into whatever kind of deliqiunt he becomes.\nbe firm ....make sure that a no is a no.\nif you take something away from him ,keep it away till he makes up for it.\nif he swears,punish him(not physically)..taking away privileges,to bed without supper,etc usually work\nif he throws a tantrum,ignore him\nif he says he hates you,dont take it to heart,HE DOESNT\nif you give him a chore,ensure he does it.\n\nbeing firm will not make him hate you.it'll only make him respect you.\n\nyou will surely have to cry a lot the first few days,but soon they will be tears of joy...and no it isnt too late

I'm assuming your child is less than five. He is at that point where he is learning to interact with other children and looking to you to see what your response is. You will need to stay consistent with whatever behavior you expect from him. If you do not, you will raise a hellion and make it 10 times worse for yourself.  This is because he will push you to that point of giving in. It can be exhausting. If you don't like his behavior, remove him.  Quietly. Explain Briefly what you expect or give him time out for 1 minute for each each year of his age. (I.E. 4 years old=4minutes) Good Luck. See the web site below for more info.

http://www.autismtoilettraining.com \nI have not looked at the site myself, but it came up on an ad for something else I was looking at, hopefully it will help! I had my autistic son completely out of diapers by the time he was 27 months old, but your situation is more normal with autism. It just happened that Tim was oversensitive to sensory input, so he HATED wearing wet underwear. I don't know how much of this will apply to you, but I'll tell you what I did anyway. Everyone on here that said to be really consistent with a reward system is right on target, that's about the only way to get through an autistic brain, and the sillier you are, the better! Find a treat that he really likes and by a bag, and only use it for potty training, no other time. Skittles was what we used. He got three skittles for sitting on the toilet and I spaced them out so that he was sitting for about five minutes. NO pullups or diapers during the day at home, only underwear, and I ran water in the sink while he was sitting. If he actually did something, he got another skittle, and we made a huge deal out of it! Then, he got one sticker put on a chart for sitting and one for going. If he doesn't go,then he still gets SOMETHING just for cooperating with you. I took him as soon as he woke up and every hour after that, and I asked him all through the day if he had to go. That's all you can really do, unless the link I sent you to has other ideas. Hope this helps! I do my own therapy with him, he's never seen a professional, and he is doing WONDERFULLY. I will be homeschooling him, and we're officially starting pre-school next month. We spent last year just working out behavior problems so that we could focus on academics this year. Contact me if you just need to vent!

Give her prunes and juice that has prune juice, or apple juice.  Also do not make an issue over her going potty, you can actually give her psychological problems and there are certain complexs in psychology that I can not rememeber the name of, off hand.  I think she may have a bowel stricture.  Have you had this checked?  By the way take her to another doctor for another evaluation also.  Maybe go to 3 doctors.  You can also buy infant glycerine suppositories, or give her metamucil with lots of water, they have orange flavored.  I am a nurse and have a psychology major also

3 year old boy- try getting him one of those "sit-n-spins!" Little kids love them, and it would calm him down a little!\n\n8 year old girl- try getting her a cook-book for little kids! She could help out in the kitchen and make easy things. \n\nGood luck! =)

set her on the pot at the same times each day. in the morning ,first thing and in about an hour. If sh goes in her diaper .....set her on the pot about that time the next day. Praise her when she uses the pot. Don't scold her but always reward her. If she tells you she need to go...Praise and reward her. She will get to the point that she will wait r tell you she has to go. Give her something to keep her occupied when on the pottie. Good Luck!

He wouldn't do anything. I'm the oldest and he's the youngest. He won't mess with me. No matter how bad he wants to take me on, he won't win. The funniest thing I've done to my brother, is drop him on his head when he was born. XD I'm evil! bwa ha ha ha ha ah!\n(Hint: I'm 17, he's only 9)

I knew a girl with the same problem, best thing to try and solve that is make sure no liquids about an hour before bedtime, and sometime during the night go into his room wake him up and take him to the bathroo, it work for my niece, she was a very deep sleeper, over a period of time of them getting used to waking up they will start on their own
