  •  Keep him seated for only a few minutes at a time.
  •  Don’t fight his resistance, be prepared to postpone the training.

  •  When teaching your son to pee in the toilet try drawing a circle at the bottom of the toilet as a target
  •  Dress the child in clothes he can easily take off.
  •  Make sure the potty is close to where he plays and allow him to take a toy with him to entertain while he is sitting on the potty.

  •  Notify your doctor if the child reverts back to wetting and soiling after being toilet trained for awhile if the child is already 4 years old
