[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 37856, member: 84"] The only thing that worked for me was being more stubborn than T. (and I am [img]:wink:[/img] ) Being consistant was always the key with T for everything. I used positive reinforcement as much as possible. If he went in his pants I'd say, "Ewwww yukky." or "That's disgusting." and explain that only baby's potty in their pants cuz they're too little to use the potty. (also used this with grandson who was having trouble being consistant with pottying in the toilet) But when making comments I was careful they weren't directed at the child. Have you had him checked over by the pediatrician doctor to make sure there is no physical reason he's having trouble? T had sphinctor muscle issues and sensory issues that made him not realize he had to go til he dribbled a bit in his pants. Then it was the mad dash to the bathroom. Might just try putting him in undies around the house now that it's getting warmer. Pull ups can be great except for some kids they need the soiled feeling to prompt them to want to use the potty. I'd just keep taking him and try to be patient. Some kids catch on later than others. Hugs [/QUOTE]
