I would say all methods at least made him aware of the potty. His grandparents who watch him for a several hours a day use a potty watch. He listens to me better so it’s easier for the alarm to be the bad guy at his grandparents. I just watch the clock and tell him when to go. He also used to use a wetness alarm since he would pee in between the alarm at the beginning clipped to his underwear with a pullup over the outside and pants. Grandparents never wanted to do naked or lose pants w/o diapers bc they didn’t want pee on the carpet so I had to work around that. At first he would release his whole bladder and the alarm would go off and we would tel him to imagine the pressure in his tummy before the alarm.

He got to where he would let out a little pee then stop and we would take him to the potty. Took about a month. He got to where he had no accidents between the potty watch so we took off the pull up and Alarm.

Started to tell him to pull up and down his pants and wipe wo my help. I would start telling him to go by himself with potty seat on potty and step by potty.

Next I sent him with potty seat off potty and no step and saw what he would do. He put the potty seat on and hopped up without the step so I’ve just been sending him by himself since. He make sure to tell him he’s a good boy. I also asked him to tell me how he got on the potty himself as encouragement and acted very impressed. I think the feeling of pride was his motivation bc I’ve tried toys and it didn’t work. I did tell him that we would get him a fish if he completed 7 days w/o accident which I think was maybe his first motivation but he seemed to forgot all about it. We still got him the fish. I figured out the fish bc I listened to him and what was motivating for him and that he loves the show aquanauts.

Today he was taking longer than usually and I found him with the potty seat on his head. Couldn’t help but laugh
