Moral support

I'm trying to potty train Orin. Alton will go and sit in the bathroom with him and look at magazines. Just giving him the support he needs. What a good brother.



Then after Orin is finished on the potty Alton wants a turn. I'm starting to wonder if he'll be potty trained before Orin is.

Any ideas on ways to train a 4 year old who isn't really interested? I could use the advice.

I've been there! There are so many methods but it always seems to be a combination that depends on the child and a lot of waiting.

There is always the $50 method. Let them wander around with nothing on (or a longish shirt to maintain privacy) and pay to have the carpets cleaned when you are done! It does work pretty well though - cause and effect.
