So I mentioned in the previous post that potty training has not been going well for Camden. I should clarify and say it's not going at all. Camden is scared to go for some reason and has no desire to learn. We have tried every incentive we can think of (toys, candy, stickers, movie time, etc) but nothing works. He wants to play football and baseball and knows he has to be trained first...still doesn't want to. Any ideas are welcomed!!! Anyway the other day I was sitting on the couch asking him random questions. "Would you rather eat spaghetti or pizza?" type questions. Then I asked:
Me-"Would you rather fall down and get hurt or go potty on the pottychair?"
Cam-"Fall down and get hurt, but then I might cry."
Me-"So would you rather fall down, get hurt and cry or go potty on the potttchair?"
Cam-"Fall down, get hurt and cry."
What am I going to do with him?!?! Makenna then wanted to answer the question. Obviously she would prefer not to get hurt and go on the pottychair. I hope it clicks with Camden soon. He can read but not potty out of a diaper?
I really feel for parents who have people being rude to them for not having their child potty trained. People are so judgemental and rude. Just because your kid was potty trained at 9 months (by the way yeah right!) doesn't mean every child should be! What does it matter to these parents anyway?
Okay off my soapbox now. I just need ideas to get this kid motivated!
