[quote=Anonymous]My three year old was pretty much trained in a day.  He was around other kids who were training, so he'd seen other kids use the potty whatever, but he'd never sat on one.  One day, we were at a friend's house and he saw a bike that he really liked and asked if he had one. I told him I didn't have the money, but that after I stopped paying for diapers I'd be able to afford it.  He thought about it for a few days and asked me if he could have a bike if he wore underwear and I said yes, and so he said "OK". So we spent a couple days naked.  The first time he started to pee without pants, I picked him up and turned him towards the potty and was like "pee like this".  And it clicked.  He had a few accidents but made it most of the time.  By day 3 he was back in underwear and trained and we put away the little potty and he just used the toilet, and went to the store and bought a bike.

My younger kid was a little younger when he was trained, because he wanted to be like big brother, and took a more support and had more accidents.  That's in line with their personalities.  My oldest generally waits until he's ready to do things well before he's brave enough to try.  My younger kid jumps into situations that are too much for him and struggles a while as he figures it out.  They both usually end up mastering things at about the same age.  Which I'm telling you so you'll know that I'm not guaranteeing my method will work for your kid.  [/quote]
