V.T.
My sister had 4 kids, the first one she pushed into potty training and it was a nightmare for almost a year. Fights, screaming, accidents, you name it. After that she decided to let her other 3 kids decide on their own when they are ready. All of her kids were potty trained by 3 and the last 3 kids did it in a matter of a couple of days, with occasional accidents. I'm having the same problem with my daughter. She is 2 and talks about the potty, asks about the potty, tells me when she is going potty, wants me to change her immediately when she goes potty, but is afraid of the toilet. It's hard, I want nothing more than for her to just go on the potty already, but she won't and I won't fight it. I still ask her every time I change her, before bed and bath, and a couple of times during the day if she wants to sit on the potty. She always tells me no, and I say okay maybe next time. She will now get close to the potty and if we put the dora potty seat on the floor and not on the toilet she will sit on it. She's warming up to the idea, so we are taking small steps.
