Okay. I’ve been slowly starting potty training Maddox. He’s good at telling me he has to pee. But everytime I sit him on the potty he SCREAMS and cries. I’ve also tried letting him stand to pee but he screams then too. I don’t know what to do!

I have had the same problem with my son who is almost 3. He has been telling me when he has to potty for over a year now, but refuses to sit on the toilet without a meltdown. I try not to pressure him and just ask him often if he wants to go sit on the potty. He always tells me no. I’m hoping one day he just decides he wants to. I was told not to force him because it will just prolong the process and that he just isn’t fully ready yet. But idk. It can be frustrating. We have even tried offering rewards/incentives. He could care less.

Yup! There’s a kid in his daycare who is potty training so I asked the provider to see if she can get him on the potty. Maybe if he sees another kid doing it he’ll want to. But I’m at a loss. I’ve been offering rewards just for him sitting on it. Now he’ll sit in it with clothes on. But the second I get him bare bum he refuses to sit in it. So frustrating

@maddoxsmama, Theres all different attachments one example is even https://www.amazon.ca/Foldable-Portable-Training-Toddler-Toddlers/dp/B07QC8H9JF it seems pretty worth trying at only 20$ and amazon does returns there’s all different animals so maybe let him pick one sometimes plain doesn’t catch kids attention
