At one of my kids wellness checks, a nurse told me to wait to potty train until they could walk backwards. Apparently, the muscles needed to walk backwards are the same as bladder and bowel control???? I was a bit skeptical however, with all three of my kids (2 boys and a girl) I waited until they could walk backwards and, in three days (for all of them) they were day and night trained, no accidents and no treats required! The boys were both 2 1/2 and my daughter was 18 mths. I recommend this tip to everyone as it worked so brilliantly for me.
I love the more realistic approach to your videos, lately. They feel more “mom to mom” rather than feeling so scripted. I also like that you are changing the beginning of the videos!! I always skipped the old intro 🤣 Thanks for the tips!!
agreed!!!
Feel the same, i agree👍 🙆♀️ 💯
Totally agree with you! I subscribed again recently and I’m enjoying her videos again
I really needed to hear that first tip. My son is almost 3 and I get so many questions from my mom about when he’s going to be potty trained. The truth is, I tried it and he wasn’t ready, so I’m waiting. Thanks for the reassurance.
My oldest two basically trained themselves because I waited and did what I refer to as lazy training. Oldest turned three and just started going and was trained in a few days never had an accident. Second kiddo was a few months after three, same deal. Third kiddo has autism, he's 6 still not trained but sometimes likes to go pee, and 4th kiddo was my longest she was almost four like couple months away from it and finally trained. I think she was delayed cause of the 6 year old still being in diapers. But it's been worth it to wait. No accidents, no charts, no timers, no treats or bribes. People sometimes ask me if my 6 year old is going to train and I'm like he probably will eventually but I'm just following his lead. If he wants to go I get excited for him and take him but I don't push it
@@tiffanybramlette6998 Thanks for sharing this!
We tried with my son when he was 2, 2.5 and it wasn’t until after he turned 3 that he was willing to try. The pee part only took him a few days. The poop part took a few more months until he was willing to go in the training toilet
Same here. Grandma always seems to push things but the truth is mum and child know best!!! ❤️
I'm so glad I had a community that encouraged waiting for him to be ready. It took 2 days and he was trained. Thank God!
My oldest, 13 now, quickly learned how to manipulate the system: when he realized he got an M&M every time he peed in the potty, he started squeezing out a drop or two, over and over, to get an M&M each time. 🤦🏼♀️😆 He’s still always looking for loopholes!
Great tips here, thanks Jordan 😊
My kids were ahead of their time. Daughters potty trained at 17 months, son at 19 months. No accidents no diapers at night. Hearing this video makes me extra grateful that they were so easy😀
Mine were pretty easy too but that is not the average
Maybe you should make a video
All 3 of mine trained at 20 months. Super easy. Nitetime was thicker undies and mattress pad on top of sheet. For me it was a matter of the same routine for the 1st couple of weeks and PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE.
I wish this was my story… 😭😭😭
@@DCherie716 right? Mine just turned 2. When Jordan said the first tip is to wait, I immediately locked my phone and walked away.. don’t have to tell me twice! Lol. I get too much anxiety thinking about potty training
I'm 36, mom of 2 teenagers, and tubes tied so no more babies...and yet here I am watching this. If Jordan makes a video, you watch Jordan's videos lol. Love ya girlfriend!
Currently potty training my almost 3yo & 6th child. I watched incase there's something different to try but you pretty much do it all exactly how we do. We also learned the hard way to just wait til they are really ready. My 3rd hated the idea of underwear finally on his 3rd birthday I was like why? And he said because I dont want to pee on my fire trucks I was like oh thats why you go on the potty & he said ohhh then was potty trained completely from that point in lol.
I just have to say, I love this!!! It reminds me of when my boys were young. It's always interesting to hear their reasoning for things. Congrats!
I loved the change today! No intro, just the familiar music!
I have 6 kids. The eldest is 12 and we started calling them "poop treats" when she started training. Unfortunately, that name has stuck. Even after they are trained, they get "poop treats" for finishing chores, special rewards, etc. You should see the looks we get in the grocery store when my kids ask to get poop treats for the poop treat bin.
This is so cute and hilarious! One of those things your family will think back in when everyone’s grown and laugh about! Memories! ☺️
😆
LOL! that will stick forever! 🤣🤣🤣
😂
That's hilarious 😂
Both my girls were potty trained at 18 months. Picked a weekend and stayed in the kitchen and baked while potty training. Every time they went number 1 they got 1 mini m&m. If they went number 2 they got 3 mini m&m's. Within a weekend both girls were basically trained. I still put a diaper on them at night or if we were going out to run errands. But by 2 the didn't have accidents overnight and LOVED LOVED LOVED going to the potty in stores.
I work in a daycare centre and I cannot stress your first tip enough! The parents that push their kids to potty train early are the ones that take the longest because they feel pressured! They might seem interested at first but more often that not they will regress
Omg the underwear hack is genius! There is a brand of pullups where i leave that makes them feel the discomfort but still there is no leak but its 4 times the cost of a normal pullup ! The undies hack is genius!! You are the queen of budgets girl
Cloth diaper mommas ain’t grossed out at all 😅
💯❗💙
I love the book toilet training in less than a day. it was created for mentally handicapped adults, no negative reinforcement. Worked like a charm for all my kids. Took about half a day to train them at 20 months. We were done paying so much for diapers, saved us a TON of money. Just remember that different things work for different kids, mamas and families. Do what works for you and yours and don't feel guilty about it.
I used that book’s method for seven of my eight kids, too! My eighth just trained herself. 🎉
Could you tell me the tips?
I could not agree more about waiting. My daughter was 3 before she was completely potty trained. We didn't rush her and one day she did it all on her own
Also helpful for poopy diaper messes: there are sprayer wands that you can attach to your toilet, do you can spray solids off into the potty. They make them for cloth diapers, and they are AMAZING!
My oldest needed privacy. I tried all this excitement and incentives. Then one day, I just led her in there and closed the door and that was her breakthrough moment.
My children are 12 and 17. I didn't really need to watch this video - but I'm glad I did. Purely for the entertainment value!! 😃
My daughter just turned 2 in March and she is my only child. For someone who has never had to potty train before this was SO helpful!
Aww my daughter turned 2 in March as well. March 12 baby
Yes for the squatty potty!!! We did no underwear method and it was a breeze. Underwear can feel too much like a diaper and give a false sense of security much like pull ups.
The dunk/swirl move is genius. Gonna start doing this to wash my veggies.
🤣😂🤣😂
I swear I learn so much about parenting from you and She’s In Her Apron, y’all seriously are ministries 😩🙌🏻
Awesome tips! I especially loved the dunk/swirl/flush! Brilliant! My favorite tip that I learned recently for helping with #2 is to have them sit and try right after eating a meal. 👌🏻
I was pressured to start potty training my daughter at 2.5. We did the 3 day method and it was terrible. We struggled for probably a year. And then out of nowhere she peed in her pull up and hated it. Straight to underwear and no accidents (even at night) from that point on. Proof that kids will do anything when they are ready
I used cloth diapers for 3 of my babies in the mid 80's. Cleaning poopy and pee diapers was ongoing and very similar to how you clean the undies.
Solid subscriber for years now and I love everything in this video EXCEPT potty treats - I know this is a very common practice that a lot of people use and it definitely seems to work in the short term but can I just tell you, as a professional career nanny for 10+ years with a specialty in infants and toddlers, potty training is the most effective and happens the quickest when a) the child is actually ready, just like Jordan said and b) you make it completely normalized and just something that you do. Celebrating going pee or poo in the potty with clapping smiling, maybe a high five, for the first week or so is great and after that maybe keep it to just a simple “good job” or narrating “you felt the urge to go and you made it to the potty on time” as gentle reinforcement that they’re doing the right thing. But I highly advise that once they start to get the hang of it, to STOP celebrating it like it’s a super huge, big thing. No one claps for you when you go pee in the toilet so by making it normalized and just another something that we do, it stops becoming a big deal to them and they’re less likely to build up resistance, hyper-fixation or any kind of issues towards it. They’ll be intrinsically motivated to use the toilet because that’s just what’s expected and normal to do and the natural consequence of not doing it is feeling uncomfortable with soiled underwear.
For accidents you can again use a gentle reminder like “oh it looks like we didn’t get there in time, let’s clean you up, pick out a new pair of underpants and we’ll get to the potty on time next time”. You’ll want to speak over them the expectancy that they know what to do and are able to do it: no shame, no negativity, no bribery - in short, no reward or punishment. Mommy uses the potty, daddy uses the potty, older siblings use the potty, that’s just what you do now 🤷🏼♀️
For naps and nighttime, you can explain that the only reason they still wear a diaper is because they’re in their crib and cannot get up to use the potty. After saying it enough times, I’ll usually ask “why do we still wear diapers when we’re in our crib?” and pretty soon they’ll usually be able to tell me. It gives a very clear understanding that they are more than capable of recognizing when they need to go and holding it for a minute or two until they can get there so the only reason they’re still in a diaper is because they physically can’t get to the toilet but as soon as they wake up, we take it off and put our underwear on and that’s what’s expected now (again, gently and compassionately not authoritatively or shamefully).
Also highly recommend bare bottoms for the first day or two. Hang out in the kitchen, outside or non-carpeted areas. I’m telling you, the initial shock and realization that there is nothing to catch the pee or poop is usually enough for them to want to at least attempt to get it into the potty. It feels better than having it drip down their legs so when they realize the potty will catch it, again, they’ll be intrinsically motivated to use it (another example of natural consequences and letting your child discover what’s right for them).
And please lord SKIP THE PULL-UPS unless you’re trying Jordan’s trick (which I’ve never done but could see in working in a special circumstance like a road trip as long as you talk about it first and make sure they understand they still need to let you know if they need to use the potty). Other than that, pull ups just delay delay DELAY. Avoid them, you’ll thank yourself later 👌
Perfect timing! Such great tips! Was just thinking the other day about starting to potty train my 2.5 y/o.
I agree! I have potty trained 4 and waiting until the child is ready is so important! I found undies are better than pull-ups, too. I would never spend the extra money for them. The expense and the fact that they feel like a diaper just makes sense to skip them! Lots of good tips!
I tried pull ups with my first who is now 4 and so fast I decided to not use them. I only wanted them for naps and out of the house, but I had extra diapers left over so I just used them. Also, pull ups are more expensive too. Waste of money if you ask me. At least for most kids. For all other times I used undies. Then one day he just said no to diapers at night and he hasn't worn any since.
Excellent tips!!! So useful, we need more of these videos, because with all social media, and super star parents going around, we were worried that our kids could not make it. Kudos to parents that share their experience and help others in this path.
Great video ⭐ I totally agree with the wait till their ready. It's not worth all the drama of forcing it.
We used mini M&M's for #1 guy, that way he could have a few of the treat and he thought he was getting a lot but was really only getting the equivalent to 1-2 m&m's :)
What worked with my kids. I have an M&M machine. So I set it up to do one or 2 m&ms for one penny. So if they went potty they get a penny go to the machine and get a m&m
GREAT GREAT helpful video. Fantastic tips. Thank you
So much Jordan and team!!!!
Good information! I am about to start potty training my little girl. She is my only one so I have been nervous about it. Perfect timing for your video!
My ASD son just started showing interest in potty training at 9!! So perfect timing for me!
I can sooooo relate!! ASD kids are completely on their schedule.
This gives me hope my grandson is 8 non verbal and he will not even go in the bathroom
These are great tips! The timing is excellent thank you. You are brilliant and a great mom.
That first tip is spot on!
OMG Jordan your babies are growing up to fast. Great tips for all those young mommies out there!
This video came at the perfect time for me! Thanks so much Jordan!
Just in time when I’m about to train my 2 year old. Jordan you’re the best 💖
I love what you said about waiting until your child is ready. My child is going to be three in 5 months and I am starting to get hard on myself for her not wanting to go on the potty. I feel like also my friends child being under two and going on the potty kinda made me feel like I'm not doing my job on teaching my child. Thanks for being realistic and helping to get back to not comparing and trusting my mom gut. My child is telling me no every time I bring up the potty. I am going to try to hold off for a few months and keep asking questions like you suggested.
Thanks, been waiting for this! 🤗
I needed this!! Thank you!!
My kids are grown but I found out each one is different. I decided one day as long as they were potty trained before kindergarten, it's all good. Great video Jordan. I hope most all young moms have seen your recommendations. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I’ve never clicked a video so fast!!!!! Thank you for this! My toddler is about Mac’s age and this is a blessing 💕💕💕💕💕
Hahahaa me too clicked really fast 😀
And I too decided to wait and not force anything.
I’m so glad you made this video. I needed to hear this. My son is 2.9 and he doesn’t want to go on the potty.
My number 1 tip: ALWAYS potty train in SUMMER... Less clothes to wash and easier to change clothes when they do have an accident!!! and the child could always be around the house/backyard in just underwear/swimwear and be comfortable/not cold.
Best video in a long time! You almost make it sound fun 🤩
Let me just say THANK YOU! I’m old! (48), with an almost 3 year old who shows zero interest in using the toilet. I’ve been feeling stressed and pressured to hurry up and get him potty trained….but I’m going to just take your advice and WAIT. Wait until he’s not freaked out about sitting on the toilet, wait until HE lets me know he is ready.
We are in that stage. My son is almost 3. We have the training undies and one pack of training pull-ups. We have the small potties and the stairs one, but he is afraid of the big potty, so I was like I am not going to force him. He will tell me when he is ready. ❤ Thank you.
Thank you!! These are amazing hacks
Thanks so much for this video!
I just started today! How funny you uploaded this.
My pediatrician told me to make a older child to teach my younger one and it worked. In a week. 🤩
@Shaylen Skidmore Fidel your mom's smart
I have a 19 month old and was starting to wonder about this... Thanks for the info!
As always solid tips, and every kid will be different!
I so needed this video right now! We are struggling with potty training (she just turned 3). My daughter is scared of the toilet but we've been working on it. We count down before the toilet flushes and say BLAST OFF!!! (she loves anything to do with astronauts and flying), and then we say "and it's gone!" She seems to like that. TY for the best hack with diaper over undies! That will be so useful when we leave the house!
Omg !!! So funny I see moms commenting just what I’m thinking so glad to see this video my daughter is 3 and a half and she’s my third child but I’m struggling
Awesome video good Job I in joy it
I agree with if they’re not ready it’s not going to happen!
Same thing happened with my son.
Around 3, he just stopped wearing pulls up one day and we never went back and he never had an accident even at night!
It was quite unbelievable.
Omg haven’t seen this one yet but I needed it so bad
Yea to the dunk and swirl!!! Done it for years!!
Wait! Best tip ever 😄. They need to be ready and excited about being a big kid or whatever 😁
Amazing information just wait! Honestly
Thank you SOOOO much for this video! We are currently potty training our 2.5 yr old boy and it is rough to say the least. Getting so much flak from my mom about how we need to get on the ball and how she was able to potty train me and my siblings in a day. I don’t know how she did it. These were great tips! Will definitely be giving them a try
I'm sorry this is happening. Please give yourself grace if you aren't already ❤️
You are an awesome mom!
HOWWWWW do you have so much energy?!?!!
Half in. So far, so good.
Amazing tips! Will be potty training soon
Blesss this came just in time! About to start potty training my toddler soon 😩
Same here! Our 8th child is almost 2 and he's just about ready and I'm so so so excited to have no more diapers!!
Wow.. diaper over the undie is the best advise i have ever heard !! Though it is a no brainer idea, it never came to my mind. I was thinking how to start potty training, and this is the best idea. Thanks for sharing 👏👏
We started today! Wish me luck 🍀
My son is 4 and always reacted horribly for bath time. I knew once he would calm down and be okay with baths, I could introduce a new thing. Because this is a HUGE change for them. Bow that he loves baths, I feel confident training him and he has been doing well. A few accidents, but otherwise pretty good progress.
I like that you made this video in your laundry room. Nice washer and dryer.
Perfect timing for this video. Just started yesterday and we bought the same underwear for him 😂
Congrats Big Boy on potty training!!!
You are on you way!!!😊😊😊
Mom where did the time go??
Thirty years ago when potty training my son, which was during the Summer, I let him play around inside the house with just his shirt on, no shorts. He learned very quickly. He'd begin to pee, immediately say something and off he'd race to the potty which was close by.
Your hubs has some STRONG genes, that's for sure, because all the boys look just like him! My son didn't get potty trained until he was 3ish - the 'trick' for him was my babysitter having her 5yo son take Nick in the bathroom w/him to observe how to go in the toilet 'boy style' (I was divorced at the time). He went from refusing to try, to thinking he was 'the stuff' going in the 'big boy toilet' overnight, lol.
This is so true! You need a healthy balance. Kids won’t potty until they are ready.
Jordan when your husband goes to business conferences we stay in the same room.
If you can't afford a snazzy bidet, consider getting a bidet hose fitted. We found them when we lived abroad and dubbed them "the bum gun". They easily hook up to the tap attachment on the side of the toilet and have a trigger/hose style nozzle at the end. They're super cheap from homeware and hardware stores. They're everywhere in Asia and the Middle East and so convenient. They'd make cleaning up accidents and possibly cloth diapers even easier.
We did cloth diapers with my first kid and while we really couldn't make it work for our other kids (too much work...) we had the cloth diaper sprayer still attached to the toilet. Absolute game changer for potty training accidents. Highly recommend
My husband and I both work, both kids in daycare, and my son started potty training there. For poops (we call "Big Potty"), I taught him my techniques for labor 😁 Relax your jaw, open your hands, deep low breath. It makes it less scary for him and a sign to me that he's going. ... Not like I can't smell it though.
Fingers crossed our girl will be just as easy to train later whenever she's ready!
Excellent Share 🎉❤
Excited to see you! Lol, I remember when you had 6 kids and then bam, up to 8
He is adorable!
Both my kids were potty trained around 3.5 years old. My nephew on the other hand is potty trained and he's 6 months old. Something called elimination communication. His parents basically put him on the potty when he started holding his own head and they learned his body language when he wants to poop or pee 😁
The parents are the ones trained. Not the baby.
Yes im having issues with a boy and #2 like yours, weve done everything, even the mayor prize, he does good them goes back to with holdin😐,, a tough journey
I babysit my granddaughters during the day. When the 4 year old was 2.5 we very easily potty trained her. But the poo was a bit more difficult. We started giving her a gummy treat for each pee and 2 gummies for a poo. We had her 4 year old cousin with us for a few days too. It really helped that for each pee or poo we also rewarded her cousin just for encouraging little cousin. It took 3 days. We found cool dinosaur shape gummies at Aldi.
I needed this video. My youngest is 3.5 and he has NO interest in trying to potty train and TBH, I'm SO frustrated! My oldest was potty trained before 3 and I need to quit comparing the two
I used rubber pants over underwear during training. My oldest wasn't fully potty-trained until he was almost 3 1/2 years old. 2 months later, we had our 2nd child. No regression. A few months later, he had surgery and couldn't sit on a toilet because of a cast. Still no regression! As much as he hated using a bed pan or urinal bottle, he didn't want to wear diapers. I think it's because we waited until he was completely ready to be trained!
For cleaning poopy underwear at the toilet, I’d use a cheap toilet scrubbing brush to help remove the poop. And of course spray with stain remover before putting it in the washer.
Girl I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a bidet lol 😆
No kids myself, but I have watched my nieces & nephews. Sis used cloth diapers for the boys, so similar to the poopy underwear. If you're at home, put it fully in the toilet water to soak, then retrieve after a bit, preferably wearing gloves. I've even used those tricks myself, as I have IBS & it happens to all of us.
Great, advice. Thank you so much!!! I bought a lot of Garage Sale underwear washed them and when he has accidents ( 💩 ) I toss the underwear in the trash, I didn’t spend much money on.😅
My daughter is 7 and in 2nd grade and she still has accidents sometimes at night so we wear stuff and I bought some stuff to protect the bed.
You are amazing
I learned that with my kids. I didn't even think about training until they were 3 . Then it was easy. My granddaughter is 4 and just trained with no accidents.
Iso agree with you two boys no agro let them take the lead . Thanks for all your help over the years we now have no debt and a good emergency fund love all your help thanks 👍
I agree with the waiting part!
I'm being pressured by our pediatrician to potty train my youngest because he's almost 6 but I feel like we should wait and let him be more ready.
Only you know your child so wait if you think it's a good idea
have some spray cleaner and paper towels along in case clean up needed- like in a store aisle- learn from my unprepared mistake!
Great tips! Thanks a lot. I have a question dow! At night you put andies and a diaper over it!
