[quote=Anonymous]We are on Day 3 of naked potty training with our 2.5 year old, and there has been no progress. The only time he has peed in the potty instead of the floor is when we make him sit until he pees.  I know it's early, but I am ready to scrap the whole damn thing and try again in a month or two.  We don't have any real time pressure to get PTing done.  Daycare doesn't care, and in fact, will work on PTing him themselves while he's there.  Another reason to wait is that his grandmother is coming to stay with him for a few days while we take a trip without him in about 2.5 weeks, and there's no way I'm going to ask her to deal with sitting him on the potty every thirty minutes or cleaning up accidents if he's not self-initiating by then.

It is entirely possible that I am looking for an excuse to quit because this process sucks and I'm tired of hanging out in my house staring at my naked toddler to see if he's about to pee.  Are there alternatives to the naked PTing boot camp that actually work?  I have never heard of people doing this any other way than just taking away the diapers and trying to catch the pee/regularly prompting to go potty, but if there's a lazier way, I'd love to hear it, even if it takes longer.  Any and all advice is welcome, even if the advice is to stop being so lazy and suck it up and keep going.  TIA![/quote]
