My son will be 3 in September. I have been potty training him for 4 months very consistent. He loves going on the potty-he even learned how to stand up and go-from the big boys at his school. He would rather have an accident than tell me he has to go potty. He talks fine-to me but he does have some speech issues with others. Is there that may help him? He gets the whole concept of the potty and what it's for and that he gets a really cool spongebob sticker when he goes on the potty but he just won't say anything

advice please

You are doing the right thing. Children with speech delays take longer expressing themselves. When you take your child potty and they use it you can say wow #### you peed/pooped in the potty what a big boy you are.Don't give up it is hard but you will work through it. I know my kids had speech problems too. Good luckwave wave

Two things...

Reinforce GOOD behavior. Make a big deal about the things he does right (like letting you know he has to go) PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE!!!

Patience. All children train at different paces, so don't be discouraged just because he's not where others are. You can be concerned if he gets to age 5 and still not trained. But for now, just be patient.

Just what I have heard from many over the years...
