Way to go. Kimmy dawn. A friend of mine tried this idea too but her child could not get out of the frame of mind that it was ok to go in the trainers so that behavior carried on into normal pants. No amount of anything on my friends side could convince the child differently. The child was 5 years old and still not potty trained. Finally one day the child wanted to go with his father and the father said. no. I will not take you with me again until you are potty trained. the child went into the bathroom and while yelling out to the father don't leave without me he used the toilet.

I knew my child was stuborn so when he was this age I would set out both diaper, and nicki's (I didn't have money to waist on pampers and pull ups) and training pants. If he chose the diaper and nicki he knew it was ok to go as is. if he chose training pants he knew he had to use the potty. As he got older and saw that children his age had fancy briefs of superman, winnie the pooh and so on he chose for himself to be potty trained and wear the colorful and exciting briefs like his friends.
