CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Potty Training Woes

Ministry is about people not structures.
OK - haven't had a chance to read all the posts yet, so someone else may have suggested this. There is a book called something like "toilet training in one day" and apparently it works if you stick to it. It apparetnly works better on older children (like you have) and can be done in less than a day with them. The idea is based around focusing on toilet training all day. Preferably no other children around (if possible). They have one of those dolls that go to the toilet. You spend the entire day talking about toilet training. Every time they go to some other topic you bring them back. You give them heaps and heaps of drinks - anything they want to drink you let them drink (within reason of course - cordial, juice, flavoured milk, whatever). Then they get plenty of opportunity. And you reward reward reward.
As for the poo thing. My friends son was like this for months and months. Not necessarily a problem for preschool cause they just hold on til they get home! What eventually worked for her was that her hubby told him that he couldn't have a nappy to poo anymore (she was buying the ultra cheap nappied cause he would ask for one to poo). So then the next day every time he asked for a nappy to poo she would say she couldn't cause she didn't want to get in trouble from daddy - pretty low act psychologically, but it worked. So he eventually went on the toilet, and was very excited - so it was over.
I have also heard of people letting them have the nappy while sitting on the potty, and eventually cutting a hole into it so that it would go into the potty so they could show them what it was like.
Hope it helps - summer is a great time to potty train - just take off their clothes and let them run around with just a shirt on. Or leave them in clothes - heaps easier to wash and dry in summer and less clothes anyway. They do eventually get sick of the 'inevitable trickle'. Leave them wet a little while and make them really involved in the cleaning process. Eventually they see that it takes more time to clean up after a wee than it deos to go to the toilet.
good luck - it will end eventually!

christ is the answer
i know for my neice she was potty trained before 2, my son at 2 1/2
at first i did not have any idea how to train my son, then i seen the sticker's
on the internet, to give them a small sticker for the #1 and the larger one for #2
and he loved that idea, i always praised him when he used the potty, i mean i really
let him know how proud i was of him. children love to be praised when they do things good. they actually want to please you. it took my son a few months to learn, and he has had 3 accidents since, that was because he drink to much before bed.
hes almost 4 now. my niece was amazing, she learned herself. she never used a potty, she used the toilet. we were all amazed. she had seen mommy do it, and wanted to do it. lol before 2 she was totally trained, her other daughter is over 2 and she is not potty trained yet. its just different with every child. consistancy is very important when training also, i would ask my son, you got to use the potty? at least every 30 minutes. and eventually he just started using it on his own.
