My son was 3 years old when he mastered potty trainning. I will tell you I had to use a little thing called potty candy and i had to take away diapers and pull ups completly. He walked around in nothing but underwear for 2 weeks but it worked.

I started potty training my son at 15 mos or so..right...well he didn't get it till he was almost 5,I tried everything.I agree with alot of the people here, it's not that he didn't get it, he just had better things to do.LOL MOM would clean him up !!HE was scared of the toilet too, so at 4 he was still sitting on a potty chair.(no good to small) Finally I told him that's it no school, no way I would let him go and have new friends and get to play and learn about trains and cars and firemen when he couldn't go potty by himself .. LOL well he went that day in the big potty and we have never looked back.Now he is almost 7 and reading is our big hurdle now . BUT we have worked all summer on a phonics program and he is mastering it !!!! A.D.D and A.D.H.D Kids I love em . they think compeletly different then other kids,And with the right amount of meds and rules, they can do anything!!!! but don't be to harsh on the potty training, your child will get it!!! and please don't listen to anyone who says if they are not trained but 2 your a bad mom(my sister said that to me )YOU KNOW what your doing !!! Good Luck !!!!

My son was somewhere between 2 and 3 during the day, but about 7 for night training. His newest behaviorist said that has to do with his sleep pattern (tossing & turning & not getting good rest) & his ADHD.

My son was three, and was much easier than my daughter. Once he was in the big boy pants, he never had accidents or wet the bed.

My daughter was fully potty trained by 2.5 years, My son who has autism & adhd was 4 years old before it clicked, My 4 year old daughter was 3 years old when she was fully potty trained but she still has an accident still maybe once a week. My youngest daughter is 20 months and shows no interest at all.

Kody was day trained by 4 and night trained for the most part at 5. He had accidents at nighttime until he was around 7. Each child is different, and yes, adhd does play a major role in toilet training!

My Daughter was 1 1/2 when I started. She got the peeing part down ok but when it came to pooping, She just could'nt get it. She would do great on both and then go back to pooping in her pants. I tried everything I could to break her. Finally after trying and trying she would sit on the toilet with a book and do her buisness. I have a second child who is not ADHD and I had no problems with her.

My daughter will be turning 8 next week and she still wets her pants during the day and the bed at night. She's been checked to make sure it's not an overactive bladder. Her psychiatrist told me that it's a biproduct of her ADHD. She gets distracted on her way to the bathroom or she gets so wrapped up in what she's doing that she forgets to go and when it's to late she goes.

I was very lucky. My son was potty trained completely by his 2nd birthday. I can't take credit for it though. He actually potty trained himself. He wore cloth diapers so he could feel the wetness. On top of that he wanted to use the bathroom like Daddy. He was so easy. Thank goodness we have never had to look back.

My daughter was around three when i first got her to wee in a toilet and i just had to hold her there until she done it as she would hold on until i put a nappy on her.Very determined and frightened until she saw that nothing happened when she done it,she was actually really happy when she done it.She has ADHD and she is 10 in November,hope this helps.

My son we his pants every day until he way 8 yrs old. I brought him to Dr.'s and tried many different meds and nothing seemed to work. One day he was dry and now he only has accidents about once every 3 months or so. And that is usually because he is too busy playing to go to the potty. And he is 10. I was so frustrated with him, yelling every day because of this. I hope no one else ever has to go through that. 2yrs later and kids still tease him because of it. I asked him if he wanted to change schools this year so he would not know anyone that he knew 2 yrs ago and he said yes!

I was very lucky my son trained himself at a year and a half, in one day. I came home and he said "look momma I can do it!!!" Children with ADHD are very smart, their minds just do things differently than the rest of us. Make it interesting for your child and quick placed, also set a routin and stick to it children with ADHD will thrive if you so this.

Well I started trying to train my oldest when she was 2 but it wasn't until her younger sibling came along that she finally was trained. The younger one was trained in less than a month and then the oldest finally decided that it was time to do what was already being done by the younger one. So the youngest was only a 1 1/2 when the oldest was right at 4 before she learned.

My son was almost 4. He had issues with toilet training especially with bowel movements. It's about giving up some control and sometimes that's hard for some kids with ADHD.

He was potty trained for the 2nd time @ 2. I had him trained night and day @ 18 months before the arrival of my daughter and then he regressed. No one ever told me that would likely happen.

My daughter was 2. We trained her over a long weekend. We put a potty upstairs and downstairs and put panties on her the entire weekend. By monday she was trained and was never a bedwetter. Like someone mentioned they will be trained eventually and in their time.

My daughter was potty trained at three during the day and around four and a half at night. She was really good, I didn't have too many problems out of her. Every child is differrent and some seem to take more time then other's. I've been told that adhd med's slow down the maturity of their bladders. Thats why a lot of them have accidents.

Both of my teenagers have ADHD. My son was 3 when he was potty trained. My daughter was trained to go pee on toilet at 3, but, it took another year to get her to have a bowel movement on the toilet. I was so relieved when she finally achieved this. I have learned that children will not potty train until they're good and ready.

My son was day time trained at 49 months. He had worn every character underwear there was and trained the day his underwear looked just like his Dad's. We did a Malem bedwetting alarm program and it worked like a charm -- just before his 10th birthday. It will happen for you and your child, though not necessarily on your time table.

Actually he trained pretty much on time. He was fairly well potty trained by the time he was about 2 1/2. He saw the other kids at day care group going and wanted to do so.. so we just let him go ahead.!

My son was 38 mos. I wanted him to start preschool and that was the motivation to get him trained. Getting him to stay on the potty chair was a little challenging, but we gave him several thing to do while trying like books, Nintendo DS, coloring books, etc. Good luck!
