[quote=Anonymous]It just takes time. One thing you can do is give him another way of doing it. Some kids have an easier time bending forward to pull their pants down, others need to kind of squat down. It's a combination of balance, the proportions of their bodies, and personal preference. In the meantime, make sure he knows he can always ask for help if he needs it, and then provide him with the most minimal help possible (so that he's doing as much of it as he can on his own). If he asks for help and you just do it for him, he doesn't get a chance to practice. Try just helping on one side, for instance. Mine still needed some help by the time he was 3. It's normal. You also have to help with wiping. It just takes a while until they are independent, even well after they are technically potty trained.[/quote]
