Does anyone have any suggestions about successful potty training? I have a four year old, who was born 13 weeks early. He has some developmental delays, and he is tube fed. Potty training has been slow; however, he has started to express when he has to urinate, but he will not say anything when he has to BM. I know real potty training requires readiness. I remind him periodically, to go potty. I sing a song, and give out stickers, when he goes to the potty. Should I do anything else?
My favorite children's book is titled" The Carrot Seed. It's written by Ruth Krause, and illustrated by Crocket Johnson.This book speaks volumes to faith! In the story, a little boy plants a carrot seed in the ground. Athough he cared for the seed( watered the seed,pulled up the weeds, from around the seed, and made sure it was planted where it would get plenty of sunlight), it did not appear to grow. Family members told him it would not grow, but he did not let the negativity of others, discourage him. In life, we will have those people, in our lives, attempting to discourage us, but we must keep caring for the seeds we've planted!

I have a three year old and I think we pushed him a little too early and he wasn't ready, but all of a sudden when we didn't put a lot of energy in it he got it! I say just continue what you’re doing and visit the site below. I hope this helps!
