Potty training: the Potty Party Method

Where to start: because you have a typical child I suggest the potty party method. It's fun, easy, and a great way to make using the potty a fun experience. You should give your bathroom a good scrub down first because you may be spending your weekend here. Starting in the morning is a good idea because Ollie is more likely to go when he first wakes up. Take him straight to the potty, where there are toys, games, books, foods, even a DVD player if you can manage (I like to use a small portable one). Put him on the potty and wait to see if he urinates. He will do one of two things:
#1)Go potty--if he does this make it a BIG deal! LOTS of cheering and whatever reinforcers (preferred item) he has--edible ones are great (but it should be something special he does not get daily)
#2)You guessed it--does not go, and most likely he will not right away. It's okay, do whatever you can to keep him on the potty with the toys, books, DVD, etc. If he just refuses keep him in the bathroom with the items without clothes on, so he can see whats happening when he goes. During this phase you flood his system with liquid. Whatever he wants, every kind of juice, milk, water, etc. Now you wait, hopefully he will be on the potty when goes (see #1) if not, rush him there and show him what to do, if at first you don't succeed...

Now you have had your first successful interaction with the potty. Depending on how well Ollie does this you will need to decide where to go from here.

Additional note: have daddy model going potty!
