Dear parents,
My son is 3 years old. I have been trying to potty train him and he wants no part of it. He does not like the way a soiled diaper feels, and he takes his diaper off....messiness and all.... I have to change his bed sheets sometimes twice a day (after he gets up in the morning and after his afternoon nap). It gets really ugly because it's not just number 1 but number 2. I don't know what to do because he puts his hand in his diaper and when he feels what's inside, he wipes his hands on his pillow and sheets. I have to go through a whole sanitizing ritual every time this happens. I've even bought Clorox sanitizing wipes in bulk just for this problem. Please, I'm desperate. Also, he doesn't talk, so I don't think he would know what I mean if I tell him something. Cynthia replied. I think 3 yr old should be quite big enough to understand the meaning of potty training. Atlest not for passing motion but to pass urine, he should be able to say so. Main problem is he doesnt talk. For this you should check out with the paediatrician. My son is just 2 yrs old and goes to playgroup but he can speak very well English which can be understood by us clearly. Then without saying, if he wants to pass urine, he goes to the toilet, passes urine in the comod and flushes. I think you should put your son in Playgroup, where he would see the other kids doing things, will learn on his own. May be who knows, he may start to talk also. All the Best to you. console replied. Please dont feel iam sounding mean...Have you tried taking him to speech therapist?....normaly for potty training kids should some cues,like he does not like the feel of the wet diaper,or straining during potty,or has a regular timing for potty etc.
you can try rubber bed sheets under his hip parts so cleaning will be much more easier.talk with his pediatrition she will be able to help you more.
