Potty training a stubborn, strong willed kid....how did you train
Your stubborn child? We aren't ready yet but I would like to try in like 6 months. I have a feeling it will be a difficult task since I do consider him spirited. If he does want to do something he will definitley tell you.
I have a feeling this won't happed until he is 4.
Do anyone have any techniques?

Re: Potty training a stubborn, strong willed kid....how did you train
My DS is a tough cookie. I never pushed the potty thing. I would have him sit on it and it was no big deal if he didn't do anything. He first started a little after 2 years old and after a month he boycotted the toilet and had no interest, so I left it alone for the next 6 months or so. I started again the tail end of summer because he was going to be starting school. We went on vacation and kind if slacked for convenience sake. Well I guess ge didn't like it, so when we got back home he was practically trained. He was a month or so short of 3 years old.

Re: Potty training a stubborn, strong willed kid....how did you train
DD will be 5 next month, and she's only just recently (within the last month or so) "fully trained". She's been technically trained for a long time, but she's very strong-willed, so she would intentionally not go on the potty. I've tried everything the "experts" say, but I honestly don't think they've ever dealt with an extremely stubborn child.
My advice is, try anything that is presented to you, but don't get disparaged or upset if it doesn't work. They will eventually mature to a point where they want to be trained, and, for some, no method or process can speed it up. You may get lucky, however, and something may work for you, but it may not.
They do eventually get trained....

Re: Potty training a stubborn, strong willed kid....how did you train
bribery....bribery and did i mention bribery....lol
My DD we bribed with hershey's kisses and stickers.
My nephew was bribed with toys.
Both worked well.
We can't afford to bribe with toys so it will probably be stickers and cookies, since my DD doesn't like chocolate.

Re: Potty training a stubborn, strong willed kid....how did you train
I consider my DD very strong willed. She self trained. She was in the toddler room at daycare, and was moved up to pre-school and was the only kid in diapers. One day I was changing her and she said I want underwear. We haven't looked back.
Peer pressure is a weird thing to witness before age 3, but I can't argue with the results.

There's nothing like watching other toilet trained tots at work to motivate another untrained tot...
I heard if a parent think it's ok for a child to be in diapers at 3 or 4, then the child will tend to think so too. And that after a child is 2.5 years and over it gets harder. But if a parent makes the effort, even if a child is stubborn, it will work with some training. They don't call it training for nothing.
My 2 yo DS is also strong-willed but once the whether gets better I'm trying the weekend bootcamp potty training method on him. That means no diapers during the period. It's gonna get messy but better than dealing with changing diapers for another 6 months to a year.
