[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely cut out potty training and start parenting books instead. I think there's a disconnect between your kids and yourself and your son is struggling for control. Oh crap is a book for 20-30 month olds. After that, it has to be the kid's decision and you have to talk a lot more about it. [/quote] I've never found a parenting book that isn't crap. I've got a bookshelf full of them. They all seem to assume you have a child that wants to please you or that responds to positive reinforcement.[/quote] You have the wrong mindset. He's THREE. Deep down he does want positive reinforcement and to please you. You're just not seeing it because you're not parenting well. Take parenting classes instead. There are tons of books for defiant kids. Parenting should be a joy and somehow you've lost that. It's just potty training. Put him in a diaper and stick him back in daycare, it's not a big deal.[/quote]
