My grandma potty trained me one summer when i was 6 (no joke). She usually got up to pee in the night, so she decided to get me up to come with her. That was it. I was good to go after that

[@ActivelyFamily]

That’s amazing. What a great grandma you have.

[@benjammin9369]

I wish I had found your channel 2 years ago before my daughter was born. So much wisdom from your own experience and amazing positivity.

[@ActivelyFamily]

Thank you! You are too kind.

[@racheljing7060]

it's wonderful. thank u for sharing!!!

[@SamanthaToTheFullest]

I've subscribed to your channel because of your helpful potty training tips

[@ActivelyFamily]

Thanks for subbing!

[@jasmines-n5126]

I'm really trying with my toddler. Thanks again for the help

[@ActivelyFamily]

You are most welcome!

[@krdtgrt]

LOVE your videos! Would love you to post the sleep training video you referred to earlier!

[@ActivelyFamily]

Coming soon!

Starting this with my almost 4 year old. She saw your video with Isaac and is super excited to be overnight potty training. First night tonight. We shall see how it goes. Using her older potty training underwear just in case because she can be a heavy wetter on top of the bed pads that you recommended. Thanks for all of the information. It's all wonderful.

[@ActivelyFamily]

Good luck night training. I hope it goes easily for you and your child.

[@RedJMac51]

Issac is so sweet. 😊

[@ActivelyFamily]

Thanks

[@jessicagoss6319]

Can you link me to the book please?

[@CCela1608]

My almost-4-year old daughter is so stubborn. She's been fully daytime potty trained since 2. Now she's dry at night but wakes up and pees in the bed!

[@ActivelyFamily]

Congrats on potty training at 2 years old. I am convinced that our kids like to switch things up (like pee in the bed even though they are potty trained) just to mess with their parents. Just when we think we have it figured out our kids throw a curve ball.

We do a little trolling

[@deborahcheung8636]

How old is Isaac?? I am wondering if my 2.5 year old can do this

[@susyrodriguez185]

Such great insight! Question, my 2 in a half year old still wakes up from his bed to come to our bed in the middle of the night. Do you suggest I first train him to stay in bed and then introduce nighttime potty training? Thanks for the advice!

[@ActivelyFamily]

Is he coming to you in the middle of the night to help him go to the bathroom? He is probably waking himself up because he has to go to the bathroom. Once he masters that he should stay in his bed on his own and that problem will fix itself.

[@familyoriented5417]

I trained my son whole we co-slept. It was a doozy. Bit once inset my 3 alarms to get up to potty and then put towels over the matress leak proof cover, that was a game changer. It took us about a week and half to be honest. Sometimes we both missed the alarm or were too tired. That's our fault.

[@CLBLR]

How old is the boy?

[@msgpennie]

So helpful. Thanks!☺️ At what age do young boys start standing to pee? I have a 1yo but thinking of these things now 😂

[@ActivelyFamily]

Good question. You could easily introduce standing once your son has a good understanding of how/when to use the bathroom. In order words, once he is fully potty trained go ahead and teach him another way to do it (standing).

[@msgpennie]

@@ActivelyFamily thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate it 😊 yup that makes total sense, will keep that in mind.

[@familyoriented5417]

This is awesome. I knew about liquids, but adding that extra before bed is awesome. I had an alarm ⏰️ that got me up 3 times a night to take my kiddo to the bathroom. He co-slept.😅🙄. I will do the same, but this one does Not co-sleep. She's in her bed. Taking away that nighttime oatmilk will be a doozy!

[@ActivelyFamily]

Good luck with night time training. I like your idea of setting an alarm to help remind you.

[@familyoriented5417]

​@ActivelyFamily thanks! I'm back again for a refresher . I now have my 18 mo old son that's up to bat! Quick question, any tips for the last minute runner? My 3 yr old (the one I mentioned in the post 11 most ago) seems to sometimes wait til the verrrrry last second and goes running. How do I express to go when she feels it's versus waiting so long? And advice on pop fright? Scared to go due to tummy issues. Yes I've spoken with my pediatrician; I like to see if there are any other parental tips of the trade.

[@elizamaglanque8875]

What about a kid who still breastfeed? It’s hard to cut liquid off as he does it whenever

[@ActivelyFamily]

You are right. For it to work you would need to limit the liquids before bed. You could wait until your child is older.

[@elizamaglanque8875]

@@ActivelyFamily he’s 3 yrs old now

[@familyoriented5417]

​@@elizamaglanque8875 I know this old, but funny thing, my daughter never stopped taking her cup at night and just would wake up dry. She did better at night then the day. We just reduced her cup from a whole to less than half.

[@retired-internet-troll]

My son is 4.5 and was fully daytime potty trained TWO YEARS AGO but is resistant to drop the pull-up :( going to try this!

[@ActivelyFamily]

Good luck! Pull ups are definitely convenient.

[@retired-internet-troll]

@@ActivelyFamily he’s fully trained now! Only took a couple days! I’d say out of 40 days hes had accidents 10 days :)

[@crackerjackB]

@@retired-internet-troll what strategies did u use

[@lunchitizemecapn]

How do you phase out the one hour wake up?

[@ActivelyFamily]

In practice your child should eventually start waking themselves up when they need to go or simply making it all the way through the night being dry. After a week or so you can phase out your wake ups.

[@ActivelyFamily]

But every kid is different so it might take longer.

[@lunchitizemecapn]

Thanks for your response. Should I change tactics if we’re going on week 7 with 2 dream pees, inconsistent wettings, and still no signs of waking up to urinate? Child is a 4y/o female who day time trained 2 years ago with very rare accidents during the day.

[@crackerjackB]

@@lunchitizemecapngive us an update on what helped

[@user-rd3co1sk1h]

My 8 year old is still a bedwetter, she wears big kid pull ups and i watch her pee every night before bed.

[@ActivelyFamily]

Sometimes it’s just an age thing. My oldest was like that too. She grew out of it.

[@user-rd3co1sk1h]

@@ActivelyFamily oh yes! We reasure our daughter that she will grow out of it someday( when she gets her period most likely according to her dr but we haven't told her that ) and that she is not loved any less!
