Potty Training a 3 Year Old Girl

You'll probably hear this repeated through other responses but don't put pressure on yourself or her about her needing to learn NOW. Just like everyone else in the world she WILL eventually learn, when she is ready. Just keep being consistant in your method and don't put any pressure on her. I learned when potty training my oldest (He's 4 today) that pushing them only prolonges it. It's like when you ask them to do something like picking up the toy u keep stepping on....the more you get on to them about it the longer they will take...u leave them alone and they move it to another location..not exactly what you wanted but better than nothing right? For right now it seems she not completely ready...so praise her for the good times and when she does have an accident assure her it's ok and that she will get better when she's a big girl. When you have confidence in them they begin to have it in themself and want to live up to your standards, so remeber not to set them to high for her.

this is what I did every two hours I would sit my kids on the potty and sing I can wait to poop and peep poop and pee in the potty you sing it to the rythme of twinkle twinkle little star and if they peed great if not that was great too the idea is to get them to sit and stay still for a few seconds so the muscle can relax and go if needed. If you go on Charmin.com they have a lot of helpful things or get the potty project vhs from the libary My son was trained at almost 2 and my daughter was two in December and well she wears a diaper at night but she will wake up and come tell me both poop and pee she is just more stuborn than my son was I hopw this helps...

I agree with the previous poster. I got very frustrated with my daughter when it came to potty training, and it only prolonged her. I started on her second birthday, and only just after her third birthday did she finally start going #1 AND #2 on the potty. After many trials and errors, we figured out that she did not like the "fancy musical potty seat" that sat on the ground, but preferred it when we took the top off and put it on the "grown-up" toilet. It worked well with the handles and smaller seat. It may take a while, but when they're ready, they'll let you know! Meanwhile, just figure out what type of seat they prefer, and do everything you can to make it seem fun and natural. Best of luck to you!

My son is 3 years old and he has speech delay problem where I have to remind him to go to the potty because he cannot verbally say he has to go. Now he's at the point where he goes all by himself even #2 so if you have her on a schedule, to go and you tell her to go often, she just go by herself eventually. Hang in there it takes time and patience.
