Potty Training - Hermitage, TN

Hey E.: Kids are usually pretty predictable about when they go. So take note of when she usually poops and take her to the potty a little before. If she normally goes a little after dinner, take her to the potty then. Make it fun read a story, sing a song… whatever will keep her attention ~ Just be consistent, positive and encouraging and she will get the hang of it.. Tell her what your goal is and what you are trying to accomplish… Ask her where the poop goes. It may sound silly but it works… kids do understand. Just stay positive and really celebrate when she does go and tell her just how proud you are of her, even when she just tries. :0)

www.thepottytrainer.com Check out this website. I used this for my daughter right before her 2nd birthday and it worked! It literally only took 3 days to train her. She had poop accidents for about a month, but that was it. I swear by this book. Good luck!

hi im new hear im a mom of 5 boys our youngest had the hardest time going number 2 in the toilet so what i did was every time he pooped in his underware i would watch but have him wash the underware in the toilet and when he was done he would have to take a shower and before long he got the point no fun in the washing and the shower but he could have fun with the other boys if he would just poop in the toilet.it took me allmost 2 weeks till he finaly went poop in the toilet and i got everyone involved with praising him clapping there hands giving put hugs ect.have lots undeware prepared though but worth it in the end.

E....I was in the exact same spot as you..word for word I could have wrote your story.My daughter Gracelyn turned 3 in May until mid august she had no desire to train,then completely out of the blue she went and sat on her potty and TT'd well that was a big,big deal and we let her know..But when it came to pooping,she did just like your daughter..went and hid and did it,that telling us she knew she was not doing right. Well I tried everything to change that but nothing worked until I found something she really wanted....it was a candy ring pop,I bought a tub of them and told her they would be only for when she went poopy potty...well there were several fights over them,because she would Tt and want one...but I stuck to my word and never gave in..sure enough , one day on her own went into the bathroom and came out saying she had went poopy...she was really excited...and of course we got out the ring pops and she got to pick out the color and from then on,no problem ..now she only did the ring pop about 2 weeks and then forgot about them and now generally does'nt ask for any treats for using the potty. I still put a pull up on her for outings,mostly for my benefit. When I do I still take her to potty,if its possible. Hope this helps,you just have to find something that really makes her want to get the reward.Obviously she knows the feeling that needing a bowel movement feels like because she goes to hide to do it...Now she just needs a little more prompting to do it in the right place.G.

E.,
thats horrible for you and her. My daughter just turned three... It takes patience and more patience. Try devoting your weekend to potty training if you can. For example when she get up on saturday take her to the bathroom, then you have to take her every hour on the hour. everytime you give her something to drink you have to take her and have rewards ready for her. so if she poops have a bette reward for her. I do not work outside of the home, so for me it was a little easier, I know you don;t have the time, but if you don;t work on the weekends its the best time to devote the whole day. you have to be consistent. when you get home in the evening even tired you have to take her to the potty, let her go even when you go and talk to her while your busy(on the toilet), she will see its fine. It may sound nasty but that helped alot with my daughter. I was putting pampers on her at night and nap time, but I have stopped that also becuse i have a 17 month old baby boy. On the weekend put panties on her the whole day and have plenty ready, so when she wets on herself or poops she isnt; going to like the feeling.
hope this help please let me know.....
