[quote=Anonymous]Pee, poop, and night trained at age 3.5. He had so much anxiety about the whole thing and would hold pee in for up to 7 hours, but once I was able to get him to do it a couple of times and he lost his anxiety about it, he did the rest himself. I think bribery is a very strong incentive for kids if they can be motivated by them, but my son was not motivated by anything I offered - he had way too much anxiety. Playing on the Ipad while sitting on the potty so he forgot about the anxiety worked for my son. Not the most ideal way to train, but it gets to the point where I've tried everything everybody was recommending and nothing stuck until we allowed him something that would distract him from his anxiety. There are many different reasons why a child can't be potty-trained, but if the reason is anxiety, figure out a way to distract him from his anxiety while on the potty and watch for the surprise look on his face when he does finally go.[/quote]
