I know it sounds mean but to help my toddler, who was terrified of monsters, potty train, my husband and I told him that monsters lived down the toilet hole. The "potty monster" ate poop and pee and if my son used the bathroom in his pants the monsters would come out to him. As long as he used the toilet to feed the monsters they would stay happy and in the toilet. He has been potty trained since he was 2 but now he always flushes even before wiping to make sure the monsters are feed in a hurry.
