ok so my son who will be 2 next month likes to take off his diaper. He just started this about 2 weeks ago. I tried putting him on the potty and on the trainer potty and he freaked out! What do I do?

I potty trained a girl, and I've heard stories that boys are a tad more difficult, but I agree he'll do it when he's ready. Maybe you could introduce it to him, tell him what it's about and what happens when he goes. They have toilets that dispense stickers when they potty, but if you don't have the money, (I didn't) maybe you could buy some and tell them if they potty they get a sticker. I tried to potty train my daughter after she turned 2 and she did it a few times then got horribly constipated, it was a really awful experience to see your baby go through that. My doc said it was normal when kids are learning to potty train to sometimes stop going potty at all, but if you just try to talk to him about it and not pressure him, just leave the option open he'll eventually see how happy and excited you are when he goes like a big boy!
