I had one who did not want to potty on the toilet. She just wanted it HER way. I made it a non-issue for a while. I also would do things for her brother because he wore BIG BOY pants and went POTTY. And then I would just let it go. I would reward him and just ignore her while doing it, while making a big deal about HIM going potty. (Mind you, he was in on it because he was 6 when she was 2 1/2). Also, how old are your other ones? Can an older child show the younger one and make it a game? (I'll go then YOU go) Sometimes it is a power struggle and the kid ends up winning because it is such a touchy issue - you don't want to scare him off, but you don't want him wearing a diaper at the age of ten either. <br />I explained to my 6 year old son that I was going to make a big deal of him going to the bathroom, and then I hung a bag of treats on the door of the bathroom, out of reach, and he got one when he came out each time. When Jamie wanted one, I said No, it is only for kids who go potty and then walk away. It may still take a while, but really, he will eventually do it.
