It’s been a while since I toilet trained a kid, and even longer since I trained a boy. My just about 2 year old is showing clear signs of being ready- tells me when he’s wet or dirty, has interest in sitting on the toilet….
How do I train him? He’s very verbal, but I don’t think he recognizes yet when something is going to come out. Should I leave him diaperless, or should I just take him to the bathroom a few times throughout the day? Open to any tips!

I liked the tip I got when I was training my oldest
you give them lots of liquids in interesting containers- try to make it exciting to drink a lot. that will make them need to use the bathroom. devote a day to just be busy drinking drinking (a few colors drinks, in any kind of dish/spoon/container) and keep taking to bathroom
after a day he should really be getting it
GOOD LUCK

I just trained my first child, he was almost 2.5
Took off diapers during the day completely.
Set a timer for 30 min and took him every time timer rang.
Gave tons of positive reinforcements and treats.
It took a few days of me being exhausted but it worked, I didn't believe it will.

Hopefully your son will realize sooner than later what is happening. And don't make a big deal about accidents...

Good luck!

At that stage, expect the process to take longer. He may master the concept in a few days, but it can take a lot longer before he stops having any accidents.

Thanks for the tips! A few more questions: what is the point of training underwear? Should I go for it now, with the understanding that it might not happen or it might take time, because he’s so young? Or should I wait until he is a little bit older? I know there are pros and cons of both….
