Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I am happy to say my little man peed on the potty HURRAY ! Lesley To: AutismBehaviorProblems Sent: Thursday, 8 January, 2009 12:58:07 PMSubject: Potty training Tips please Hello to all my wounderful friends, I am having a hard time getting my son to potty train as we all know it is not an easy task. When he was 3 he was useing the potty pretty well but then he started his first yr of preschool and all the progress we made all went away. Im sure it was because of chance in his daily routine. We have been working with him for the past 3 yrs. He has peed on the potty for school but not for me. If you have any tips i would love to read them.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Big thing for Zach (and I don't know why) was peeing standing up. I think the thought of having to remove his pants, and putting his booty on the cold, hard, seat were enough of a deterrent. I do have a book about Potty training, and it seems like there are two potential problems: 1. undersensing or not being able to determine when they have to potty-the suggestion is to build it into a routine so going potty is more by habit than desire. 2. Sensory overload in the bathroom-in which case you would need to figure out what that is-is a wet diaper/pants comforting? Is the house bathroom too cold, too bright, too loud, etc.? We just night trained over the summer and it's amazing to be diaper free!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi everyone, We're now toilet-training our 4.6 yrs old son, we're trying to make him express his need to go, and he does sometimes. He is now dry at daytime at home and school, but doesn't go to toilet in any other place. " still working on that, and don't know how to convince him to pee while standing up so he can do it anywhere " . We put a diaper for him at night, and he usually wakes up with a heavy diaper, how can we toilet-train him at night? " we're delaying it till summer, it's really cold here at night that I wouldn't take the poor kid out of bed! " . Thanks Noura > >> > We just night trained over the summer and it's amazing to be diaper free!! > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Good luck to you! I wish I had some great words of wisdom, but truth of the matter is Zach decided he didn't want to wear diapers at night, so we just started getting him up to go to bathroom in the middle of the night-it was very difficult and I was washing sheets every day for what seemed like forever (maybe a few months). It seemed like one night, he just got it. I do think a big motivation for him was he hates having we clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Devin hates wet clothes to maybe i should let him feel the wetness and then he might want to use the potty more. See you were a big help. Smile.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi! Happy new year! I can only relate to boys. My husband worked with my son and did racing games. He brought our son into the bathroom with him to show him what he needs to do. Amazing it worked. My son may be low functioning but we had him potty trained by the time he was four. He never yet has had a accident at night and he is seven now. My problem is bowel movements. When he is very anxious and doesnt know what to expect at a unfamilar situation he has diahrea. He does tell us he has to go to the bathroom but by the time he realizes that he has to go he has a explosion. this does not happen often but it does. So that is the only time we have accidents Good look.
