How do you potty train a two year old?

There are so many opinions given on how to potty train boys, ranging from the process to who should potty train them. Two-year olds generally can indicate when they have to go to the bathroom. For that age everything has to be done for them. Let the boy and trainer -- generally the parent, most often the mother-- agree what the boy will say as a signal he has to urinate or defecate. Depending on anatomy, his penis may have to be gently aimed or held for him while standing at the toilet. There are step stools specifically designed for toileting for small boys to stand up on. While sitting, the penis may have to be aimed downward to avoid missing the toilet (yes, this can happen!!). If it's impossible to take him to a bathroom to pee, take him to some place outside with complete privacy, not in an open area where others can see him. Try not to completely undress him. My son is 3 1/2, he knows how to use the toilet to do #1 and he knows how to do #2 (he did this one time one) but he refuses to wear underwear, I have every style, shape, character and he just will not put them on, he will go around naked and ask for a pull up when he needs to do #2. He will wear a swimming suit and not have an accident, he knows you can't wear a pull up in the swimming pool.

If anyone has any advice.....please send my way.

My son starts Pre-K in 1 month and he can't wear pull ups to school.

reply to julesg68@Yahoo.com When he asks for a pull up to do #2, dont give it to him. let him poop where and when ever he wants. buy him underwear that looks like a pull up. You can also try the pull ups cool alert!!! thoes really work!! Let his peers deal with this. When he does #1 or #2 his peers at pre school will deal with this and perhaps say things like 'You're not even a big boy yet!' You could also put his swimming trunks on and it's time 'Mom put her food down!' You are allowing him to carry on with this behavior and most possibly giving in too quickly because there is always such a battle over it. At his age he should be in proper underwear. Let him turn four and try again.
