So I talked & talked & talked & talked & we practiced sitting & we watched videos and he watched me & my husband & any family friends we could get to perform for him, and nothing worked. Not candy. Not applause. Not stickers. Not even a pile of toys he could choose from. <br /><br />What got him to care was the fear (his) that his friends were starting to be able to do something he couldn't do. It never would have occurred to me, but wanting me (& everyone else!) to differentiate between himself and 'the babies' was all the incentive he needed. And until he got to that point mentally, there was really nothing I could do about it. <br /><br />That teacher sounds like someone who speaks before he speaks, perhaps. Also, does he have kids--specifically, boys? Potty training was way more of an epic adventure than I was prepared for. Maybe he just has no clue? Regardless, it sounds like your boys are completely normal, and it sounds like you're doing everything just right. They'll figure it out on their own schedule, and I honestly think you can't do more than help them be ready for it. Good luck!sprogbloggerhttp://www.sprogblogger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379712045771948785.post-19124955650376341352013-06-07T21:30:26.025-04:002013-06-07T21:30:26.025-04:00I'd be lazy about potty training, too, if the ...I'd be lazy about potty training, too, if the boys just aren't that interested. They'll figure it out.

Is it possible to approach him and let him know the comment bothered you? It seems to me that if the child isn't ready you will fight a losing battle.battynursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240029154165501340noreply@blogger.com
