Potty training should I give up for now?

Day 1 of potty training he’s had 5 accidents nothing on the potty. He will sit on the potty but not actually go. When he has an accident I am calm, but also remind him next time we need to use the potty. Just wondering if it’s normal to not get it on the first day. Ive seen so many mums say how they only had 1-2 accidents on the first day. Or if maybe he’s not ready despite showing all the signs.

Its normal, but you also need to see signs of them recognising they are peeing. Some recognition from them would show progress. The journey of potty-training is taking your child from the “I have no clue I just peed/pooped” to “I peed/pooped” to “I’m peeing/pooping” to “I need to pee/poop” realization. 4 days would be a sure cut off if no signs of improvement

Don't give up. Was about to say the same as Emily. Even the fact he's sat on it a few times is a good sign, and it will hopefully start to make sense to him. Good luck 🤞🏼

Are you doing naked time or with undies or how are you doing it

@Emily I love how you put this! Thank you needed that reminder!

@Jill thank you! Hopefully tomorrow will be abetter day!

@Gabrielle with undies. What did you find worked best for you?

We use undies and no pants. We also have a tiny toilet for him to use that’s fun. We also asked him very often.

Mine loves the attachment to the loo so he can sit like a big boy, and flushing the loo too lol

My son had God knows how many accidents for a while especially if he was playing. I found no pants at first worked best and telling him he needs to go to the potty before we do X. A smartie or something when he went as well. Once we committed we just powered on through. Wees were fine after a week two although still the odd accident if he is too busy doing something else. Poos are a working progress 😂
