All you need is some sensible step-by-step advice.

I tried absolutely everything from patiently waiting to sitting him on the potty for several hours in front of the tv, but nothing seemed to work. Its now only 3 more weeks ntil I start school and I lost hope, but I decided to give it one last shot with a combination of different methods. Yesterday I told my brother that there would be no more diapersa and left him bare bottom all day, every 20 minutes or so I'd set off a ringtone on my phone and declared it potty time. After the second ring, Aaron would immediately go to his potty and sit there. I would let him hold the phone and replay the song 4 times. After no success and 1 'poopy' accident I thought that this was another failure. But afyter waking up from his nap with a dry diaper I decided to ask him if he would like to go use the potty and he immediately ran to the potty, asked me to pull his diaper down and sat down and filled the bowl!!!!!!! I was so excited and had him dump it in the toilet and gave him 2 stikers to put on his chart. After that we went out to the store and he refused to put on a diaper to go out........so we took a chance and let him go out in regular underwear. He did not pee in his underwear and when we got home (after 4 hours) we rang the timer and he sat down on the potty and peed in it!!! Today we only had 1 accident while we were out walking the dog but after that he has peed in the potty once during the timer session and once on his own!!!!!!(he even tried to dump the pee in the toilet himself). I am so proud of him. We went from refusing to go to the potty at all to being able to go by himself in 1 1/2 days. !!!!!!! We will definately continue this method extending the time between rings until he is able to go completely on his own. I expect he will be fully potty trained in 2-3 weeks.........just in time for school!!!! P.S......Do Not use Pull-ups as they feel no different from a diaper.Its just a waste of time and money.
