    In all honesty there is nothing you can do to get him interested at this young age. He will potty train when he is ready, pushing him to do what you want before he is ready will only set you both up for disaster.

    You can try putting some fruit loops in the toilet for him to "aim" at... give him some candy as a reward when he goes. However, if he is afraid right now, then he is not ready to train.

    You see, bowel and bladder are the hardest things for toddlers to learn. But he will do it in his own time. All 4 of mine did and the harder I pushed the harder it was. Just let him do his own thing. He will get it. Remember that no child goes to kindergarten in a diaper. It will come in due time.
