Thanks Margaret. We did indeed get him in underwear finally today. He cried for over an hour and keep chanting "I want a diaper." He was so sad. I did all...
Hi again Margaret, one more question. How do we handle pee messes all over the house? If we aren't supposed to make a deal out of them, how do I keep my house...
Hi Dawn, your husband is right. If letting him go naked means that he's just peeing all over everything and making YOU clean up, then it defeats the purpose....
I am just not sure what to do here. Sometimes I feel we are so close and sometimes I feel it will never happen. I think we need help beyond the Yahoo group...
Hi, We've had a little setback. Last week, I thought we were on the right track with my son not having any accidents. Then he went to his grandmother's house...
Hi May, first of all YA!!!! you had days and days of no accidents? I see the light at the end of the tunnel! So, is your little one having one accident a day...
Hi Margaret, We're through the tunnel!! I don't want to say we're completely potty trained but my son has been accident free for about 2 weeks now. He even...
whew! your little guy DID test it to the limits, but you stuck to your guns, and got him through it! I think, two weeks without an accident could be called...
I saw the potty training seminar a few months ago at the IHMC. We officially started the potty training my 40 mos old boy a little over a month ago. We...
It has been a long struggle dealing with my son's poop! I felt I couldn't push the underwear until his diarrhea was eliminated. Finally I made a deal with...

Hi all, I'm thinking of starting to train my second. She'll be 2 1/2 in November. We currently have the Learning Designs but I don't think that helps her...
My son wears those, mostly because that seems to be what I grab, but honestly I don't think he has ever noticed. (Neither of my son's did). My 2 year old who...
Hi May, Nope. The diapers with the little pictures that disappear when they are wet, aren't worth a plugged nickel for anything beyond diapering. As for how ...
They're 18 months apart and we started the first one late. ... From: examinedlife@... To: intentionalparents@yahoogroups.com Sent: 9/1/2007 8:24 PM ...

Hi May, I never tell anyone to NOT do something that is working for them. So if the little potty is working, go for it. However, be warned that, with many ...
Hi Margaret My daughter (age 3 1/4) has been potty trained a year in June, but until this week has continued to wear a diaper to bed. She has gone two nights...
Hi Karen, Your best bet, to avoid pushing, is to simply give it over to your daughter. ASK her every evening, "do you want to wear a diaper to bed? or do you...
Hi Margaret Thanks for the reply. I like your suggestion, although I haven't had to use them yet. She hasn't had a wet night since that first night, so maybe...
Sorry in advance for TMI. I just really need some good advice. My 4.5 year old son has had an issue with constipation, as far as I know since he was potty...
Hi Dawn, First let me say that I am NOT a doctor, and as far as physiological issues go, I cannot make a diagnosis. I also, have never met your child or you,...
Hi Margaret, I actually really like your advice, it just feels "right" to me. I will just have to check with the GI doc because I made a commitment to my...

How important waiting the full 28 days? We've been doing the twice-a- day routine with my son (who just turned three). I'd sort of like to do away with...
If going to sit on the potty has become boring and matter-of-fact, then you're probably ready. The purpose of the wait is to let the child process. It would...
Margaret, I just want to say thank you for your advice. My son is not having any more accidents. We did not stop the laxatives though, because I believe that...
Dawn, it sounds like you've found the compromise between dealing with the physical part of it, AND the mental part of it as well. luck and joy to you! ...
