First day of potty training and it’s horrible 😂

I personally wouldn't consider beginning toilet training until he is familiar with the potty etc. we have had a potty and a toilet seat for months and our son regularly sits on them, sometimes he wees, mostly he doesn't but he is more than happy to sit on the toilet and asks regularly now that he's used to it. He possibly isn't ready. Don't stress it, they're still young. Just make it a fun thing to try for now but avoid potty training or it might become a negative experience x

We just have a potty and a toilet ladder and she won’t use the ladder but sits on the potty. She hasn’t really done anything on it yet but she’s still getting stickers for asking for it and for sitting on it without a nappy on. Encourages her to ask and sit on it and when she eventually does something, she will get another sticker on her chart. Don’t force it. Get a potty and leave it around the house and ask every now and then. My little girl is obsessed with watching us go to the toilet aswell to ‘see’ (awkward yes but it’s teaching her). We also have a couple potty training books which she loves (like poo poo bum bum wee wee) xx

I bought a potty for my LO yesterday & just have it in the bathroom. She wouldn’t sit on it at first, but every time I go for a wee she comes with me and she mimics me by sitting on her little toilet. Still with her nappy on, but it’s just getting her used to sitting on it and familiar with it before I try to get her using it x

I really recommend the oh crap potty training book, with my first it was just chaos and then I read the book and she got it in about 3 days

It's all new to him, if someone all of a sudden told you you have to change what you're going your whole life, you would be confused.... Give it a 3 days, keep offering, praise if he goes on and if you feel he's not liking it after 2-3 days, give it a month or two and try again.

I work in early years and this what we tell parents. The things you need to ask are: Are they going long periods of time being dry in their nappy? I know you said he tells you about poos, but awareness of wees is a big thing too. Can they do things independently, ie pull trousers up and down as this is a big part of it too. Put pants on, don’t let them walk about in no nappy. It doesn’t build the awareness of if they have an accident their is no wetness etc so they don’t learn that they having the accident if that makes sense. If not, I’d keep offering the potty/toilet as it’s fab to keep their awareness, but doing too early can make them step back and could lead to them not wanting to do it xx
