Please help! I am having a hard time potty training my son, any tips would help greatly.

Tip 1 - Be consistent and patient

Studies have shown that children learn faster when potty training is consistent and they are not switched between diapers and pants. Once you have decided to potty train your child, stick to it and have patience.

Tip 2 - Be Creative, Give a Reward!

Let your son know that upon following your instruction he will get a prize maybe M&M, Mars or something which kids always wish to have. This way just for getting a prize again from you he will follow your instruction over and over.

Tip 3 - Make dry runs and have your son sit on the potty to get used to it

You don't have to take your son to the potty only when he has to go. You can have some dry runs to help him get the feel of it. Let him sit on the potty even with his diapers and pants on and let him go about his business so that he gets used to it. Once he is comfortable sitting on the potty he will be more likely to use it.

Tip 4 - Use the colored water trick

Use food colors to color the water red or blue in the potty and when it changes after your kid is done, he will find it interesting and want to do it again when he has to go the next time.

Tip 5 - Motivate your son using music and make it fun

Whenever he sits on the potty you can sing a made-up song about what he is doing or thinking and then when he is done you can sing a different song. The point is to have fun and make it enjoyable when he is using the potty. Soon he will be using it automatically.
