Reddit mentions of The Potty Book: For Boys

If he likes bubbles a bit of dish washing soap in the bowl works as a motivator. My wife and I had to be really patent. Boys in general potty train slower than girls and autistic ones even slower than that. We just were able to potty train my autistic 3 year old (4 in a few weeks). It took months of work. We did the pull ups, taking him to the potty every 30 minutes, used kitchen timers, gave him treats when he did go in the potty, etc.

The first thing to work on is just getting him to go in the potty and get used to that. We were able to add it to our nighttime routine easiest. After that we kept enforcing it more and more, and each time he did it he got a treat. After that we moved to the no wet pullup treat, where if he had a dry pullup he got his treat. Once we got good results there, we moved to underwear. It was rough at first, lots of changes in clothes, but we finally got some Toy Story underwear and he didn't want to get Buzz or Woody wet. We still reinforce with treats, but he will tell us now when he has to go potty. Our biggest challenge was that he's a sensory seeker so he doesn't mind being wet.

Things to try:

• kitchen timers
  
• treats
  
• dishwashing soap in the toilet
  
• cheerios to aim at
  
• verbal praise
  
• a favorite activity
  
• sing songs
  
• if you can get a potty book that works too

Sorry was lazy yesterday about linking from my phone. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0764152319 this is the one we have. Here is the boy one (havent read it, assume its basically the same) http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0764152327

For anatomical stuff I recommend Amazing you (my daughter is thrilled that she has egg parts haha) http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0142410586

My daughter really liked this one: http://www.amazon.com/Potty-Girls-Alyssa-Satin-Capucilli/dp/0764152319/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396150916&sr=8-1&keywords=potty+training+book+for+girls+Hannah. Potty Book for Girls. THe main character's name is Hannah.

I think this is the boy's version: http://www.amazon.com/The-Potty-Book-For-Boys/dp/0764152327/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396150940&sr=8-1&keywords=potty+training+book+for+boys.

We didn't start our kiddo on potty training until she was almost 3 so she was really into the whole "being just like Hannah" thing. Potty training is my lease favorite milestone to accomplish. At least she hasn't shit in her underwaer in a while so hopefully we're past that now!
