[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 619125, member: 8831"] I used a kitchen timer and made a game out of it at first, but then didn't even bother to say anything about it--just let it go off and let difficult child 2 be responsible for it...it really only took a day or two to be fully potty trained after that (which seemed like a never ending project before the timer!). as weird as it sounds, I also made a little written sign that I hung above the tp roll with each step of the process--pictures would work for the non-reader. and REALLY broke it down...pull down pants, sit down, pee/poop, get 3-4 squares, wipe, pull up pants, yada yada. it helped tremendously with the process. but it sounds like your guy knows all that and just is too busy. I think your instinct is right, and any "prompt" you come up with great. no help on your girl, but I love the pearl idea! [/QUOTE]
