Thank you for the practical step-by-step advice. It's exactly what I needed to know about potty training my two year old. He's shown several of the "not ready" signs so I'm going to back to step one and trying the Brazelton method to see if we have more success moving forward. I see that I've made a few mistakes in our first try.

thank you you saved my life

So according to this my son who will be four in less than a month is still not ready. Can that be right? he goes to the bathroom in his potty but only cause I hurry up and place him on it. I do not want to be the parent who trains themselves instead of their child. My child still has a BM on the floor after taking off his diaper. He also does not notice when he has a BM so what do I do?
