If your child seems ready for toilet training, but simply refuses to use the potty, put it away for a few weeks and take a break. As you know, toddlers often say not even when they want to say yes - and they are even more likely to say no when they feel that their parents want them to say yes. Give your child some time to leave the ground for refusal. Then each of you can make a fresh start.
Before trying again, wait for a time when everyday life of your child is fairly common and stable. Since the formation requires your child to learn new models, it is best if he did not adapt his teaching to a variety of parameters, irregular hours, or society many different people. If your days are hectic and unpredictable, you may want to delay toilet training until things calm down a bit. Alternatively, you can think about adding more structure to the life of your child (miking care program or daycare center more regularly; establishing a consistent routine for the activities of the day) to make things predictable for your child.
When you start training again, make sure you choose a pot your child is comfortable with. If it is a small potty chair, let the customize; he could paste stickers or write their name on it. If it uses an adapter with your regular toilet seat, make sure it has a stool so he can get on and off easily. Toddlers hate to feel unsafe or insecure. It could also be used to stabilize the stool with his feet when he has a bowel movement.
Do not expect your child to take immediate link between sitting on the pot and really use. First, have him sit on the potty for a few minutes at regular intervals. If he pees while sitting, it will make the connection himself, and after a while he will understand how he feels when he has to go. Some kids put it together quickly, but
others take much more time - do not worry if your child falls into the latter group.
