: Hi everyone!
: My son Remon now is almost 6 years of age. The sonrise program is going really great. I was thinking of starting some potty training now. He still uses diapers day and night. He can speak very little at this moment. He can say however when he did it in his diaper. (the heavy stuff) When i ask him, did you...? then the word ( dont know what that is in english) He comes over, gives me a few letters, takes my hand and brings it to his but. Of course i cheer! I sit him down on the toilet every morning and evenings, he does not have a problem with that. He actually seems to like sitting there. If he sits on it for 15 or 20 minutes he does not let it go. When i take him of and say lets get you dressed. He walks over to his room, and of course let it go over there! Even then i cheer and say: well that is what you also can do on the toilet!! He smiles but never the less.......??????? How can i make it clear to him, that it would be a lot comfortable to do it on the toilet? Because he IS starting to dislike his diaper when it is wet, but not when it has "poop" in it. This dislike by the way is for about 3 months already. It looks like we are not getting anywhere here.

hi yvette....i have been away for awhile - training new volunteers and more busy work. i have a question for you on this potty training though. why do you think you are not getting anywhere? my way of potty training w/ tyler was to make potty training just like anything else. when you concentrate so hard on one thing it seems that the idea of acceptance kind of gets pushed to the side. tyler just became potty trained in the last 2 months. everyday we did the cheers. she didnt want to sit on the toilet. then one day she went into the bathroom and sat on it herself. she doesnt talk yet either, so she now just takes our hand and takes us into the bathroom when she needs to go. try not to assume that you are not getting anywhere and accept where he is at all times and things will fall right into place. hope that helped. love, jamie
