Help please. I am a working mother with 3 children. The youngest is 3 years old. We have been told by the director of his daycare that he must be potty trained by mid August or not progress in the program. I am certain he will not make this deadline. They assure me that he triesto potty there on a regular basis. ( he is one of the youngest children in the class and is the only one not potty trained.) He will often try at home also but has probably actually only used the potty 2 or 3 times. My husband really wants us to work with him to beat this deadline. I think we are pushing him. Our other 2 children did not have this much difficulty. This one will sut on the potty for 30 or 40 minutes,playing or singing, but never urinate. He even came home fron the daycare in a dry diaper at about 5 pm one day. We tried a few time that night to get him to go potty, he would try but never go. In fact he did not urinate at all until the next morning. He did that in his diaper after I had him on the potty for about 10 minutes. If anyone has any tips please pass them along. I am frustrated and I know that will only spill over onto my child and make things worse for him.

You should check out http://www.families.com they have great tips and advice on potty training. I used their advice and within 2 week my 2 year old daughter was fully potty trained and now all I have are diapers at night time. The advice supports and tips I received from everyone really did make a difference. Try it for yourself and let me know how you get on.

Have you tried to put him on the big potty and turn him around backwards? I started doing that with my son and it's the only way he wants to go now. 1st off we don't have to mess with getting a potty ring on the tolliet and 2nd he has not missed and shot outside of it.

I'm sorry to hear that your little one is having such a hard time in potty training. We just started my son on potty training and already it's hard for us, too. I don't see how the daycare can tell you to have him potty trained by a deadline or else he can't move up. That is just wrong in my opinion. You shouldn't rush a child especially when they are so young and they are still learning. Not only is a child learning on an everyday basis with ABCs, words, numbers etc. and to add potty training on top of everything it's just adding a lot for them to learn. If they're going to pressure you that much I'd either have a serious talk with them or look into getting him into another school. That's just a little too much pressure for one child to take especially if they're giving you a deadline.
