A. Toilet training can be challenging, especially for some kids who take longer to transition from diapers. Here are some strategies that might help your 3.9-year-old: 1️⃣ Identify the Reason Is he scared of the toilet seat? Try a child-friendly potty seat. Is he too engaged in play and ignores the urge? Set reminders every 1-2 hours. Does he dislike the feeling of the toilet seat? Try a comfortable, fun potty seat with his favorite character. 2️⃣ Gradual Transition from Diapers Start with diaper-free time during the day and encourage him to use the potty. Use training underwear so he feels discomfort when wet but avoids major accidents. 3️⃣ Positive Reinforcement Use reward charts, stickers, or praise when he uses the toilet. Avoid scolding; be patient and supportive. 4️⃣ Potty Training Routine Make a schedule (e.g., after waking up, before/after meals, before bed). Sit him on the potty seat every few hours, even if he doesn’t feel like going. 5️⃣ Lead by Example Let him see older siblings or parents using the toilet. Read potty training books or show fun videos. 6️⃣ Address Fear of Toilet If he fears flushing sounds, allow him to flush later or make it a fun game. Give him a small toy/book to hold while sitting on the potty. 7️⃣ Be Consistent and Patient It might take time, but avoid going back to diapers unless absolutely necessary. Celebrate even small progress, like sitting on the potty. If there’s no improvement in a few months, consult a pediatrician to rule out any physical or sensory issues. Stay patient—it will happen!
