Help with Potty Training - Tulsa, OK

One thing we tried that I think came from Oprah was to buy panties with a favorite character on them and tell her that the character got sad if she peed on them. It was also mentioned that the character (aka gramdma or a friend) could call them and give positive reinforcement.
The main thing is to just keep taking them to the potty. Sometimes i made my daughter sit there until she peed. If it's a battle of wills...that is what is going to have to happen.

Hi C.~
Have you tried the reward system? Well when you feel she is willing or capable..why not try using a potty chart. Find one themed in her favorite character. They have free ones online. Google and search for example "free printable princess potty chart" You will also need to go and buy some stickers in her favorite character as well. When she goes she gets rewarded to pick out a sticker and put it on the chart herself. When she fills up the chart she gets a special toy that she wants, or that the parents will allow:) This worked great with my daughter and for others Ive suggested it to. When we first started, with our first few charts..I even rewarded her at the half way mark of filling the chart up..with say...a trip with mommy and daddy for ice cream. The chart made her have a reason to want to go potty and it was fun:) I wish you the best of luck!!! Im about to start training my second one..she has gone a few times on her own but shes not consistent..I dont think shes quite ready and Ive never been one to rush it.

I actually took off a week of vacation after my son turned 2 and all I saw was the four walls of the bathroom and every time I put him on the potty he would through a fit but by the 3rd day he gave up and he hasn't looked back once. If this isn't for you one thing I picked up from Dr. Phil was if she pee's in her pants take her back to the potty every 20 minutes that helps to instill "this is the behavior mommy wants". That worked a lot with my little boy. As you can see I posted one today and yes he's a fit thrower right now but he is potty trained. :) Good luck and I hope this helps.

My son was three before he was trained. I just put his in underwear and he learned really quick to tell me when he need to go. After one day of telling him that he has to tell me that he needs to go he started to try. By the end of the second day he was telling me that he had to go. By the end of the third day we were making it to the bath room. We still had about 2 weeks of accidents. I din't go anywhere while we where training not even to the store. Too many accidents in public will make them afraid to try. I hope this helps you.

Hello, my son will be 3 in October so I know your feeling. I recently potty trained him using money!!! Sounds bad I know but, every hour I would take him to the potty, and if he went(and washed his hands) he got a quarter to put in his special potty baggy. Once I figured his potty schedule out(after two days)I would take him and he would go everytime. He ended up with a little money and I took him to the store to buy whatever he wanted with is money. I think the best part is praising and saying positive words if she goes or not. It will happen soon!!! You can do it!!!
