I need help my two year old wont use the potty with me but she will with the daycare teacher she actually tells her but i always ask and she does nothing at all. Help me out please!?!?
I started just taking my little girl to the bathroom when I went. She caught right on and I slowly eased myself out of the bathroom.
Do your best to duplicate what they do at daycare! I keep a jar of skittles on the bathroom counter, she gets them after she goes! They also do the same at her daycare. I have also discovered that if she is wearing panties she will cry and be terribly upset if she has an accident. She cries "I mess my panties", which is good, she knows she cant pee in em! We also have never used a potty chair. Everyone in my house uses the big toliet, so she would have nothing to do with it. Maybe they arent using pottie chairs at the daycare...so you might try sitting her on the regular toliet. I also let my daughter play with my makeup brushes and give her lipgloss after she goes, I know its silly, but they just wanna be like mommy!
I have a little girl that just turned 2 and she will go poop in the pot but she never will pee. Any advice that you recieve pass it on to me, because I need help with that too! We have tried stickers, and all and nothing so far has worked, so any advice on how to coax them would be appreciated! thank you.
What worked for me was to take my daughter into the bathroom when i went and have her sit on the potty. I would sit there longer then normal just to see if she would go. when she started going make a fuss about it and i gave her a small treat whether it be an extra snack or 5 cents.
good luck
Find out what the teachers are doing at school. If any thing put her in big girl underwear and see how that goes. good luck! hope I was able to help.
N., you can't make your child use the restroom. My advice would be to leave her alone, don't prompt her, praise her like crazy whe she succeeds, be patient when she fails and whatever you do - don't turn this into a control issue. She'll win and you'll be left with very little hair. Ask her if her panties are dry every now and then instead of urging her to go potty. A positive attitude will work wonders.
You are probably just going to have to let her potty train at her own pace. My son was over 4 before he pooped on the pot. It was very frustrating and I literally tried everything, but kids are silly sometimes. Just don't get frustrated with her and try different things.
I have teh same problem wiht my 4 year old. he wears underwear to daycare but i have to put a pull up on him at home cause he will not tell me when he has to go potty. the only thing i can really say is ask her and make her try every hour. that works for us most the time.
I didn't start this until my older boy was over 3, but I just left him in underpants and stayed emotionless if he had an accident. Now that the youngest one is close to 3 I've been doing the same. I do give praise and treats but most often he just goes without fanfare.
I had the same problem with my daughter at that age. My daughter was really into stickers at that age, so I created a chart that when she went on the potty for me, she could put a sticker on the chart and once she got 5 stickers in a row, I would take her to the store and she could pick out a small inexpensive treat or toy. She started going for me right away so she could get what she wanted. Take what your child really enjoys or really considers a treat and use that to your advantage, it doesn't have to continue, once she gets used to going on the potty she will continue, treat or no treat.
My daughter is 2 also. She was doing the same thing. We had one of our friends come over that was also potty training she saw him use the potty and now she will. Also if she uses it we give her big hugs and kisses and a sweet treat.
My two year old son started out the same way, I finally talked to my sisters about it and they said I was getting too worked up about it. The more you push the more they resist. My son just turned three and is using the potty almost exclusivly now, but it takes time and patience. When they are ready to do it all the time they do. Also, try saying things like "remember, if you need to go potty where do you go?" It sounds corny, but it's not a demanding as "do you have to go?" I think they get tired of hearing us ask that.
Oh, I also bought a couple of potty training books, B&N or Hastings both have great selections.
