The thing is we tend to think that kids don't understand us, but the truth is they actually do as much they might not know how to talk properly but they understand when we talk to them. I had 4 kids and I have never pot trained my kids, the reason I really didn't see the point of having all these little toilets and stuff, one thing I do, every time I change my kid's diapers I will tell them not to do it on the diaper but in the toilet, I will continuously tell them and baby no no no, we do this in the toilet and then do the tickle, because as much as I want my kids to see it when mommy is serious I also put a little play, play to always show the side that I love them.
With my firstborn, it took a long time because these one thing I believe, when it kids, let them do it when they are comfortable, no force and he was my first kid so a lot was going on but the more you have experience the more you know how to handle them. With my other kids, it wasn't hard at all the only thing I did was to tell them we do this in the toilet, and by the age of 3, they started asking to go to the toilet, yep!.. they asked, My 3-year-old is running by himself now, and I just laughed when my 2-year-old was trying to do it also, he just took off his diaper and on his way, he looked at me and said mom I need to pee and went straight to the toilet to open it, am still trying to monitor this one because it all about looking and watching what the other kids do and want to do it, but he'll be ready to do it in no time.
So I encourage moms to start with the easy way by just talking and pointing to the toilet and telling the kid this is done in there sweety, and be patient one day, they will see their kids asking them to get in there and wanting to do it in there, slowly and patiently it all will be well, and those little bundles will be wearing underwear, no more diapers. Not too much shouting and be patient with your kids, they will get there and please don't compare them, with this one it was easy, you talking so long, you to slow, don't do that to your kids, they are all different and they are allowed to be different, that what amazing about them, Love them and support them, they are just kids. If they are needing all those little potty, potty there is no problem with that as long as they get it at the end, I am not saying you must stop it, if it working fine for you then continue doing it but the most important part to understand is the communicating with the kids is key, they might not know much but there are things that they just understand especially when they have older siblings.
LOVE AND JOY TO YOUR FAMILY, ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST!...
