I agree, I think my son went every 45 min. We showed him YouTube videos to help him understand. It took us about a year of practice ( we weren’t rushing it, just getting him used to the big potty also his school was helping potty train him). Eventually after 2 days of training under wear he just started going on his own but he was very familiar with the process by then lol.

We sat our daughter on the potty every hour. After about three months she started going to the potty when she felt the urge. About a month later we stopped using diapers. She had to learn that it feels uncomfortable to go in her pants. Accidents will happen, so mama needs courage 😊 Always carry extra pants and underwear. Courage is the key!

Be repetitive, Take him every hour if he needs to go or not, and learn his pattern, then start taking him at those times.
B.M.s, you need to allow him a toy or tablet with anything that makes him laugh. Laughter helps move the fecal matter. Reward him with a bath/shower afterwards (if you can).

1. Use Visual Supports
Visual Schedule: Create a clear, sequential visual schedule for the entire toileting process, from entering the bathroom to washing hands.
Picture Cards: Use simple, recognizable pictures or symbols, such as those from the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS).
Show, Don't Tell: Place the visual schedule on a wall near the toilet to provide consistent, non-verbal reminders of each step.
2. Implement a Reward System
Tangible Rewards: Use highly motivating and tangible rewards, like favorite snacks, toys, or preferred activities, to reinforce successes.
Positive Reinforcement: Reward every small attempt and success, even partial attempts, to encourage participation and progress.
Quick Reinforcement: Ensure that rewards are given quickly after a successful step, without delays, to create a strong connection between the action and the reward.
3. Facilitate Communication
Teach Communication "Tells": Train the child to use a specific gesture, sign, or communication device to signal they need to use the toilet.
Model Communication: Model the communication method during toileting, such as handing you a toilet picture or pressing an AAC button.
Teach Asking to Go: Teach the child how to communicate their need to use the bathroom before they have an accident.
4. Follow a Consistent, Structured Routine
Scheduled Potty Times: Take the child to the toilet at set times throughout the day to help them learn to empty their bladder and bowels at those times.
Break Down the Task: Break the entire process into small, manageable steps and practice each one until it's mastered before moving on.
Be Consistent: Ensure all caregivers follow the same routine and use the same visual aids and communication methods for consistent training.
