Potty Training - Lancaster,PA

She's not ready - it may come off as a game with the sitter so she doesn't feel pressure, but it doesn't seem to be working at home, so don't worry about it. Honestly, if a kid can't pull their own underwear up/down by themselves, it isn't really them that's potty trained, it's the adults.

Have the potty around if she's interested, bring her to the bathroom with you. Let her show you when she's ready to do it at home, but don't push it. Ask your sitter to talk to her about pottying at home just like she does at the sitters so she can see the connection.

Don't be frustrated - she won't be going to college in diapers. It's her body and it's really the only think little kids have any control over at all. Don't make it a battle.

She is not ready. Let it go. You will know when she is ready. If she goes for the babysitter, that is great. One day when you least expect it, and it might be quite a while, she will do the same at home.

A., I have gone through the same exact thing here recently. We did actually stop trying even though she was still going at daycare. Our DD is 2 1/2 and it was hard to stop but we know it was still being instilled during the day. Our issues was that she would stay dry and as soon as we got home she faught us on going every hour like at daycare and would lay on the floor and refuse. Then, when she finally agreed to sit on the potty she would sit for a minute, maybe, then tell us she was done. Even going with the sticker chart, reading stories, treats, etc. she would say she was done and minutes after letting her off, she would pee (or poo) her "big girl panties". we finally got to the point of refusing to put pants and undies on her while we were home and she quickly understood the concept of not peeing on herself and she now tells us she needs to go before she goes, not after the damage has been done. It has been successful for the most part. Although it hasn't been perfect, going back to the panties has worked and she at least gets to the potty when only a little dribble has made it to cloth. Certainly don't feel bad to stop this process. It will just click for her one day. We are still making progress but don't let it get to you....it IS VERY FRUSTRATING....I know but just like people say, it will magically click one day!

I would stop trying at home for a while. The same way kids are better behaved for others than for us, she might be not ready to do it at home. Tell her she must wear diapers at home. No big girl panties until she is ready to try the potty like at daycare. I would leave it at that. She will do it when she wants, and that is the bottom line. There is no way to make them do it, unless they want to. I discovered this with my daughter. The less fuss over it, the better! :)

I would stop trying to get her to go for a month or so. Just stop asking all together. Don't mention it. Just put her in diapers at home and let it alone. She either knows what she is doing or she is just not ready. Wait it out and see.
