I am so frustrated. I have been trying to potty train my son now for a year. He just turned 3 yrs old and we have been trying since just after his 2nd birthday. We've tried stickers & charts and rewards of going to his favorite places. We've tried letting him wear big boy underwear, but he just goes pee in them. He knows how to go pee pee and poo poo in the potty, he has done it before. He has filled up two charts (over the year) with stickers and there are 144 stickers on each chart. These are all from going pee pee. Only twice has he gone poo poo in the potty. I don't understand why he doesn't want to go on the potty? When I ask him, he says he doesn't want to be a big boy, he says he's a baby. I'm so frustrated. I trained his older brother (now 12 yrs old) when he was 2 years and 8 months old and it only took 1 month. I don't understand why it is taking over a year with this one and he seems no where near being potty trained. It seems he just don't want to do it, he's a smart kid, I just don't understand why he doesn't want to be a big boy. I have been very supportive and make sure to let him know how great it is when he does go. I just don't know what other positive reinforcement I could do. I know negative reinforcement is not good, but I'm at the point where I'm just so frustrated, I just don't know what to do. I know we have a hectic lifestyle, I am a stay-at-home mother, but we have several businesses going and sports and lack of consistency is probably a contributing factor to this. Any suggestions as to possible reasons why he does not want to be a big boy and how to overcome that thinking?
