You guys may want to consider ditching the pull ups, and going with a cloth
training pants. It will be a bit like doing cloth diapers for a while but
worth it. It sets a new mind set for the child. Training a tough child once
anything medical is ruled out can be very hard, and often means a strict
consistent schedule with rewards, and missed opportunities. We can't go to
the park because there is no clean place to change you so we will go when
you will tell mommy you need to go. Some kids respond to stickers or small
treats. By 4 just about any child can be trained. Children with Autism etc
get trained so it can be done, but I know as a child care giver of 18 years
that some train easier than others. You may want to look at cotton babies,
or Nanasbottoms for cloth training pants that contain the mess.

I was just wondering this same thing about my daughter who will be four in
March. I'm so completely out of my mind with frustration over trying to
potty train her, I've considered buying diapers again. She's been out of
them for almost a year, but has reverted back to going in her pants all the
time. It makes me shudder to think about going back, but I may have to. The
changing table is long gone along with everything else that had to do with
diaper changing. Guess I may have to pull the diaper pail out of the garage.
Ug!

why wouldn't it be. if you tell them to stay still and advise them that they
can get hurt or fall off if they squirm around and not be still then they
should be fine.
