I just stopped by from the Catholic Mothers circle. Potty training is hard! We are just finishing up training our third child. He will be 4 in October. My biggest advice is not to do it until you are ready to commit to the constant potty visits. My girls were difficult to train (3 1/2 and 4 1/2 when they finally learned) and I think part of it was I was feeling too much stress about it. Of course, you do have school to put a deadline on you. Does your son really love school? Does he understand that he can't go if he doesn't learn to use the potty? We have used charts and rewards, which only worked some of the time. The biggest factor is the child's willingnes to try. If he really doesn't want to learn, there is not a lot you can do. Sorry. :( Hi. I just stopped by from the Catholic Mothers circle.
