Need Potty Training Advice - Woodstock,GA

Honestly I would say just let her be for now. My daughter started usuing th epotty a little at 2 then went back to pull ups and didnt want anything to do with it. After her 3rd birthday she was ready to go and doesnt wear pull ups at all (even at night and she is 3 1/2). Its one of those things, when they are ready they are ready. We left her little girl potty in the bath room and from time to time I would asj if she wanted to sit and try, when she would say no I would just say ok, and when she tried she would get lots of praise. Keep the potty as an option but dont push. Hope this helps ((HUGS))

I agree with all of these - they'll make up their mind to do it when they are ready. My daughter just turned 3 years old last Tuesday and on Wednesday, she pretty much decided she wanted to start using the toilet. She already knew how and would take a gander at it occasionally but no regularity. I pretty much figured when she made her mind up to do it, she would do it, and she did! She has only had one little accident!
Your daughter is intelligent and will probably just make up her mind one day to do it - it's just never soon enough! We want to be rid of poopy diapers sooner than they do!
Also, know this: there is a chemical that is present in the bloodstream that gives us the urge to relieve ourselves. Young children do not yet have that and it releases at different ages in each child. That's why there are those miracle kids that potty train themselves at 1 yr (the chemical has released in their body) and why others taked until 3 yrs to get it down. Not having it can delay the training fro a bit. It also diminishes when an adult drinks alcohol - your reaction to relieve yourself is diminished. Interesting, eh?

i am pretty much of the mind that they will decide when they are ready, & her telling you no is saying she is not ready...with that in mind once they hit age 3 i start pushing, by that time they are more than capable & possibly just need a little push (plus i feel that they need to train by that age to get over the accidents phase before preschool). maybe back off a little for a couple of weeks & then revisit the idea.

personally my daughter did not seem interested in potty training, at age 3 i decided it was more than time to train. she would pee in anything if she had it on (even loose shorts without undies) so we ended up naked. she only peed on herself once & she hated it, so then she started going in the potty, one week later she was fully potty trained with less than a handful of accidents after. however that was just what worked for us, everyone finds their own way.

If she says no, just drop it. Potty training si stress ful on child and parents. It's not worth it. Even if she was usign the potty, you are creatign a lot of work for yourself, following he raround making sure she goes, wipes, flushes, washes hands. Diapres are so easy in comparison!!!

When she is ready, probably closer to three, I suggest not making it fun. Watching tv on the potty has nothing to do with using the potty. Make her focus on wathcing for her body's signals and reacting to them. We used the naked approach - pick a day or two, take off her diaper, feed her juice, and take her to the potty every 15 minutes. She may wet herself a couple times, but will get the idea pretty quickly. IF she is ready. IF!!

PS - and by not fun, I don't mean you can't be excited and give r her stickers or watch potty videos. I just mean, make sur eshe knows the potty is for "going potty" and not a chair for watching tv!!

You could try backing off a little. My 2nd boy did much better when I just acted like going potty was a thing he did and no big deal. If we made a big fuss, he'd back off and have accidents. He was about her age. Try for a few more days and if she keeps fighting you shelf it for a month or so. Potty training sucks - you have to find the right method, at the right time, for the right kid. Ugh!
