Sitting on the potty

So we jumped into potty training with underwear not diapers. We thought we would work up to 1 minute – 3 minutes. So far we have done 1 minute sitting on the potty because he gets restless.

Michelle mentioned he had to feel comfortable sitting on the potty for 3 minutes. We tried it this morning and found his motivation to be “ the club” security driving wheel device and IPad. My son is object obsessive to things like the club, the container chlorox wipes, disney’s olaf and cars. He sat successfully for 3 minutes 3 times within 2 hours just sitting with diapers. I had a printed image of boy going potty and verbalized to him we are sitting on potty.

I thought it would be great to now try with underwear. With underwear he sits on the potty with the removed underwear for at most 1 minute at most. . We did this 3 times. He remained dry all this time. I encouraged fluids and salty foods. When I decided to take time for myself he peed on himself while wearing underwear . Am I speeding this up? I feel like I am. How long should continue him sitting on the potty until
He feels comfortable? 3 days?
