m&m's are a great reward/incentive. I have no clue how to train two boys at a time, but what worked with all our boys was to have them learn to "go" sitting while they were still little. Then, later on they could stand like the dad. also, I think being able to dedicate a solid week to potty training, and just barrel through it. good luck!!!
I HATE potty training, and I still don't know the best way 3 kids later. It's just different with all of them. I'm working with Ty, and I'm taking it really slow. I'd say stay really positive and make sure that they're wanting to do it. Have lots of patience. We did a sticker chart with Brock where I adjusted the goals as he progressed. He earned stickers that could earn a big prize that he picked out. I figured that a new toy is less than a package of diapers. It worked wonders once he was trying to earn something he wanted.
call me and I will give you the name of a book that totally works!Treven had the concept down in one whole day!A lot of work but TOTALLY worth it! It also talks about training twins!
Good luck! I agree, have them sit first. Make it an exciting thing everytime you go into the bathroom or else they dread it and want to have nothing to do with the toilet. Give lots of praise! Even for just sitting on the potty.
Eeek! It's a pain and requires lots of patience. Make the experience fun and rewarding and positive. If you start to get frustrated and negative, bag it for awhile. Every day I would ask Deven, diaper or underwear? One day he started to say underwear, and we went from there. I put it in their hands. Reading books or watching movies about going potty is fun for them too. GOOD LUCK! :)
What works for one may not work for another. You'll find what works for the boys. You may have to try a couple of different ideas, but the one constant is to stay CONSISTENT. I wouldn't let your boys go back to wearing diapers once you start. In my opinion it is easier to just DECIDE that it's time and tell them that you are no longer buying diapers, that they are big boys, and that they get to go pick out their own new underwear. Make it a really big deal and let them pick out whatever undies they want!!! Even if its little mermaid :) Then don't look back. Whatever incentive program, or whatever you want to use to encourage them, keep at it once you find what works. It may take a couple of weeks, but they'll eventually understand that you're not going to go back to diapers. I did this but had to use pull ups at night initially for the first couple of months, so you have to let it be known that these are potty pants to be worn only at night, if you have night wetting problems still. I however, always had issues with my children when it comes to going #2 in the toilet, so for a couple of weeks I was allowing them to use the pull-ups just for that purpose. That might be slightly confusing to some kids, but it worked with mine. That's why I say that you'll find what works with the boys. Just be CONSISTENT whatever you do. And make sure Micah knows what the plan is so that he can help support it. It's going to take time!! And it's going to take the BOTH of you. Be prepared.
(Sorry for the epistle. Potty training is just a pain!)
let the boys go commando for the first week, keep the potty where they can see it. keep on potty for each boy, and don't go back to diapers no matter what. On e trick I had was i carried a potty in the car with me in the trunk. when one of the kids had to go, (anywhere) I had a potty that they felt comfortable with using, and there were no "emergency" potty finding expeditions. It saved me So many times. Make the boys sit on the potty about once every hour whether they have to go or not, and have them read a book , or play with a toy or something to keep them on it for 3-5 min. once one of them goes make a huge deal out of it and the other one will want to do it too. Our kids potty trained in about a week. Good luck and stay committed. Rebecca Rickards
if you bring baby wipes and a small bleach botttle in the car you can clean thier bottoms with the wipes and the potty out with the bleach/water mixture.
Hows it going? Did you get the watches yet?
