Boys usally take longer to potty-train than girls.  My brother is 8 and still wets the bed at night, but I was completely trained by 2.  What really helped my brother for the daytime was a combination of rewards and reminders.  Give him a reward (something small like a sticker or a spoonful of honey should be fine) and rimind him a lot to "check and see."  Good luck.

There are lots of exercise programs for kids.  Depending on the age there are Yoga classes, martial arts, gymnastics...\nMy 3-year old has a tape that was from sesame street.  It's called Happy Healthy Monsters.  You can find kid-friendly programs in any store that sells videos.  If your looking for programs that you can attend, try martial arts or gymnastics, swimming.  Call your local YMCA for advice, too.\nHope this helps. :)

potty training is very easy if you are patient and firm in your rules and discipline. you do not need to get mad or worked up even if he did'nt get it at first. you don't also have to buy special products for this. hope this help! pls check www.pottytrainingconcepts.com for more info

1. Everytime they walk into the room yell "hooray your back!" as loud as you can and dance around for about 5 minutes. Afterwards keep looking at your watch and saying, "Shouldn't you be going somewhere?\n2. Everytime you wake up, start shouting "where the heck am I??" Run around for a while then go back to bed. when they ask what happened, make as if nothing happened.\n3. Buy the Kiddies meal from a well known restuarant and eat the straw and serviette and throw the rest away.\n4. Collect hundreds of pens and put them in the corner, take one pencil and put it in the opposite of the room. Laugh at the pencil.

Lots of supervision still needed at this age but they think they are independent and love feeling like a big kid. I would say this is in general, a jello phase. You have to start instilling kids as soon as possible with good habits, just like you add the fruit before the jello sets.\n\nKids this age are definitely capable of learning manners. Please, thank you, excuse me, thank you NOTES for gifts, even if they just draw a picture and you help by writing the note on the margin...also other social skills. Sharing is a biggie. Quiet voice. Learning how to accept the answer they don't want to hear. Learning to be patient, wait in line, take turns, etc.\n\nBig helper time at the age of 3. Can have a lot of fun just following you around the house while you do ordinary jobs and making it fun at this age gets them started on life skills with a good attitude. 3's can help you in the kitchen by dumping ingredients in and helping you stir, matching socks and folding washcloths, picking up toys, even learn the motions of dusting, sweeping, etc even if you go behind them or their spray bottle has just water in it. It isn't ever about perfection or helping you get things done faster, it is about having a good attitude to pitch in and their satisfaction at contributing to the task, as well as practicing the basic motions of those tasks.\n\nHygiene and self care. Can start brushing his own teeth, but you would go behind and help. Handwashing and finishing up the potty training, a new skill most times at the age of 3. Can probably help with washing himself in the bathtub...and hair if you use a tear free shampoo. Can probably dress self if you lay out the clothes for him...pull-on clothes, will be working on snaps, buttons, zippers, and getting things on frontwards and right side out, etc.\n\nKids this age are pretty fluent talkers and will love learning new words for things. Body parts, things in the city, animals, colors, stuff in the house. Help him identify stuff in his world. \n\nKid-friendly museums might be an excellent learning opportunity. And library time is great.\n\nStill too young for reading and math but some letter identification and counting, as well as being read TO, will be a great start on literacy.\n\nEmotionally, kids at 3 will benefit from learning how to identify their feelings. Questions will help. What kind of face is this? Was the boy in the book scared? When you see an emotional outburst, good or bad, you can ask him if he is feeling what you think or say something like, "I'll bet you are pretty happy now!" or "That would make me mad, are you mad?" Getting in touch with feelings at an early age will help kids manage them as they spring up.\n\nPsychologically, kids at all ages, particularly young, need solid boundaries, and a lot of supervision and structure. Kids this age need regular snacks and lots of rest. Try to alternate between quiet time and rowdy time. Try to do things the way the parents do at home. And give clear simple directions with direct consequences and if you have to discipline, keep your word with what you say will happen. CATCH THEM BEING GOOD! meaning to heap on the praise for doing the right thing, they will not misbehave nearly as much in trying to please you and get that reinforcement if they know you notice. Try to stretch attention spans by avoiding things like 10 minute cartoons or 5 minute books, but at the same time, recognize that kids have a rather short attn span and memory.\n\nKids this age love to explore and be busy. Nature walks are great. When I was a nanny, we used to collect leaves, pine cones, sticks, sand, etc then use them in art projects. The family was religious and we called it God art...sand was God glitter...we glued a surface and put sand on it, shook it off. We always loved coming up on a busy ant pile or a new bug or animal. For games, hiding games, races, dressup, are great. For sit down, matching games are good. Chutes and Ladders

Put him in the shower and stand above the shower door aiming the shower at him.  Open the door a little bit.  (Be careful this is where they try and escape).  Soap him up.  Then rinse him off.\n\n Another is tie a rope between two trees or real sturdy posts.\n Tie his leash in the middle so he can't move around alot and blast him with the hose.  Lather.  Then blast with hose again.\n\n Afterwards he gets a scoobie snack.

Figure out which locker is his. Buy a pair of REALLY big underwear. Buy chocolate, dirt, anything that looks like a turd. Rub it on the underwear. Put it in his locker. Spray his locker down with one of those stink blaster things. Yeah...it'll teach him a lesson or two.

Some people don't believe in it, but an incentive program really works.  We made a chart with one line saying 'poopies' and the other 'pees' and hung it in the bathroom.  Everytime she made it to the potty she got to put a star up under whichever potty she made...after a certain amount (start off lower) she got to pick a 'prize' out of a little treasure box we had.  Stickers, small candy treats (like a few m&ms), little cars....the kind of stuff you can buy really cheap and are just nice little incentives.  If you have a boy....I have no idea how to potty train them!!  I had a coworker who took 1 day off of work and potty trained her son in that day!?  My daughter learned slowly but over the course of a few months....she was fully independent.  She was already pottytrained by 2...but that was because daycares really get them going on the potty (so they don't change soooo many diapers) .  Don't show them any anxiety about it.....just make it fun fun fun to go on the potty.  Also sit down maybe read them a book about using the big potty (there are many many cute books out there) and talk about how much nicer it would be to wear pretty/cool underpants and not have to potty on yourself.

How old is your child. If he is beyond 6 then find out if something is worrying him or her. If around 3 or 4 try limiting liquids at night, including milk or water. You could get the child up sometime to pee again. It usually works. Also  if a child is cold, they could be wetting the bed.

I'm having the same problem with this - glad to see I'm not the only one not getting their child to poop on the potty. I've tried everything - including the bribabry and it's just not working - I spoke to my pediatrician and she said it takes longer for children to feel comfortable with pooping. But she did say that usually about 20-30 minutes after a big meal to have her sit on the potty and just try to poop. I usually give her a book and just let her sit on her potty chair and try to go. But to be honest, it's not working. But it is something that you can try. But I'm not giving up! Because if you think about it, our parents were able to get us toilet trained, so eventually consistency does work, or else we would all be still wearing diapers! ;0)\n\nGood luck!
