I'm new to the group and to this website. I have a 19 month old son...will be 20 months on feb 7th.
My problem right now with him is just dicipline and potty time...HE WILL NOT do the potty thing. I am not gong to push him to do it but I do ask him and he says, no! So I am just mellow with it...but how long will this last? Will he ever want to start going on the potty? One time I sat him on it and he screamed bloody murder. I leave his diaper off at night and he does sit on it but will not do any business on it...the potty chair is for his cars and trains for now. |

Hi and welcome to the group/site.
With regard to the potty - boys start later than girls, and per my pediatrician, boys are usually ready closer to 3 years old, so maybe put off the potty for now, or just leave it out, and let your son check it out and approach it with interest when he's ready.

| I, too, have heard that boys start later than girls. My brother in law and his wife just started refusing to put a diaper on their son when he was 3. He eventually started using the potty after getting in trouble so many times. |
