My boys are two and a half and trying to get them potty trained. One of them is getting to the point of understanding it and going to the potty. My other will just run off and laugh as you chase him. If you get him on the potty chair he will start to throw a fit. In the house you get some m&m for going to the potty. What would be some good ideas or strategies for getting both potty trained?

I highly recommend the approach in "Potty Training Boys the Easy Way" by Caroline Fertleman, and we also did the M&M motivation. If one got candy you can bet my other boy was gonna figure out how to get some too! Don't chase the runner. Just turn and focus happily on the one that's going potty and tell the runner to let you know when he's ready to be a big boy and go potty, but don't pressure him.

My first set of twins were b/g. I potty trained the girl first because I felt like she was ready. My son would pee his pants and not even tell me. He had no interest at all. He finally came to me the week after his 3rd birthday and told me he was ready. No problems after that. My second set of twins are b/b. One of them was ready at 2.5. He would get a sticker every time and after 10 stickers I would take him to pick out a toy. It took him about 2 weeks to be mostly accident free. My boys just turned three and the other one still has no interest. I am working on him now, but having little success. It has been my experience as a mother of 4 boys that most boys are not trained until closer to 3. My advice is to train the one that is ready. It is very difficult to train two at a time anyone.

I would concerntrate on the child that is interested in being clean. Getting one done will help the other to conform and be clean. It is down to peer pressure. Reward the one that is clean with lots of praise and cuddles and the other will soon follow.
