Here's her bio and general tips: Hello I am Ceiamaria I am a stay at home Mother to 4 children ages 12,8,7 and 11 months old. I am happily married for 12 years and we are still going strong. I am determined and driven for success FAILURE isn't an option for me. I potty trained my oldest at 9 months old. My 2 middle son's were more difficult they were between 18 months and 2 years old. My baby boy was showing interest in potty training, I decided to buy him a potty chair. Potty training tips 1.) Don't rush your child 2.)Don't yell at your child 3.) Don't punish your child for having accidents 4.) Don't give you child candy 5.) Don't compare other children to your child 6.) Do praise your child 7.) Clap your hands when your child goes to the potty. 8.)Take your child every 15-30 minutes to the potty 9.)Don't criticize your child 10.) I don't recommend pull ups but I don't bash mothers who decided to use them. 11.) Remember potty training is not taught in one day you have to be determined to potty train your child.

Questions for older kids: when did ya'll start potty training? Is before 18 months to soon or no? How long did it take to get them potty trained?
How do you potty train a child who has absolutely no desire to be potty trained, and actively fights against it?

You started out doing this? You didn’t have him sit to pee?@amandajune,

Lol yes .. he sat once and it didn't go over well so I just started this with my first son and it worked! My 2nd son would just watch my oldest and we still the Cheerios with him too and it worked again... When it came to pooping, my son asked for fruit loops to play this game lol .. my 2nd son took a while to sit and poop on his own maybe around 2.5 years but started both of them with the Cheerios at about 2 years

I've been trying to get my daughter to potty train she knows exactly what the potty is for she just wont sit and pee she will hold it and hold it then pee on the floor

When I had my 2nd son is when I really started the potty training with my oldest and he reverted after a few weeks and always peed on the floor in the baby's room .. that lasted for maybe a month lol he would go in there and shut the door 🙄
