haha my daughter use to like to lick the toilet bowl if we left the door open. everytime we went to the toilet we'd have to disinfect the toilet. ping pong balls wont flush they just keep rising to the top

try putting a potty in the bath tub either that or my sister used a ping pong ball in the big toilet and let the boys make a game of drying to hit it. she also said atleast their learning to aim at the same time

right now hes in pull ups. but he wont pee in them. he thinks the tub is the potty. and he wont pee with anyone around. as i say, his surgery has him scared of being touched and without a diaper. ive tried swimmers, putting him in underwear, rewarding him. pretty much everything that you normally do.

This is the best thing, just go straight to underwear, no more pullups. That is like a crutch for him and he knows he can still pee and poop and it won't get on him. Get a reward system, like m&m's or something, and everytime he does it he gets one. Only takes about a week. Makes for a lot of messes and stuff, but it is well worth it. After 1 week, BAM potty trained.

A fun potty game for boys...put cheerios in the toilet and get him to try and sink them. You can use Froot Loops and teach him his colours at the same time. Tell him that you can play the game every time he has to go pee. It then becomes about this fun game and not about going potty.

thats what ive doing. ive tried rewarding him for sitting on his poty and the few successes we've had. he was fine before his surgery in feb. but now hes so scared of being touched by anything, i dont know what to do.

You have to make it fun for him! Buy him his favorite charcter underwear and if you have a camera took pictures of him in his underwear. I did this for my oldest and she loved it.
