    my boy was 3 he went straight to using the toilet and to get him to use it i used to put bubbles down the toilet and he would wee on them i know it sounds strange but it works!!!!!

    My daughter was toilet trained at 22 months, she went straight to using the toilet as she didnt seem to like the potty. My son will be 2 next week and he has now been out of nappies for about 3 weeks. As you say all children are different but if she is showing signs that she is ready then just go with, with our children they went straight into pants as i think pull ups are too much like a nappy.

    I've potty trained two now (my girl was 2 end of april and is now dry day and night) and my biggest tip is: commit. Once you've decided now is the time, take off the nappy during the day and do not put it back on.

    My son was 3 in June and still not totally there - he uses the potty and the toilet but I have to watch him like a hawk as if he's too busy playing with his toys he will just go in his pants - especially for a poo. If I ask him if he needs the toilet he usually says no even when he's hopping from one foot to the other lol! I have to literally drag him to the loo and sit him there.

    Can't wait til he's at the stage where he just goes to the potty/toilet by himself! I think it's harder for boys than girls for some reason - think they are more easily distracted.
