They are small and their memories are not good. That's why they need to be closed in a small room with the box so they learn. If there are other options they are not going to make the connection.

What country are you in?

Kittens generally train very quickly. The mom does not "teach" them. They just watch her and copy her.

You need to do all of the things we've already suggested.

try sand instead of litter. You can lock the dad in the bathroom with the kittens-maybe he will "use the box" infront of the kids and the kids get the idea-then smell dads poo/pee and figure it out?

Definitely keep food/water and use a short low side litter box-like those cardboard boxes for soda cans at the grocery store? Put some cardboard under the tray to help catch any catlitter that gets sprayed around from them playing in it.

youtube videos!!! Watch some videos about "how to litterbox train young kittens" to see if there is anything that looks like you might be able to try.

When I am stumped I ALWAYS defer to youtube!

Have you tried putting him in the bathroom with the kittens for a while? Does the litter box have low edges?

I don't understand. How long have you left them in the bathroom for? What are you cleaning with when they have accidents? How many litter boxes do you have?

I have 3 litterboxes, I've left them inside for 3 or 4 hours, I clean with a mixture(lemon-detol-vinegar) and any other thing with a strong smell(body splash or perfume). Is that normal ? talkingpeanut talkingpeanut

We are telling you to leave them in the bathroom for 1-2 days. They need to be in there long enough to poop and pee a few times.

And, as mentioned, you need to clean with an enzyme cleaner so it smells like nothing. Otherwise they will want to pee or poop there again to make it smell like their scent.
