[QUOTE="Sabine, post: 619145, member: 17639"] Here's another idea... I trained each of my children with the system laid out in "Toilet training in less than a day". The system is simple, but very effective. 1. Use a "wetting doll" to demonstrate the toileting process. Sounds like he's gotten that part down. 2. Do "practice drills" running to the restroom from every room in the house and outside. The first time you do it is when he first arrives at your house. If he needs to go when in the restroom, of course let him, then continue with the drills. 3. After the first time, the practice drills take place each time there is an accident. The drills aren't mean, you just say, we need to hurry, practice hurrying. (so he's to hurry.. not flat out run, but walk very quickly). 4. Every hour or two, do a "dry check". Instead of asking if he needs to go, ask him if he's dry. The rewards come in when the dry check is good. At first a little treat is nice for a successful dry check. These are gradually phased out. Hope this makes sense, and it helps at all. [/QUOTE]
