i'll get straight to the point my daughter just turned 2 last month. so we started potty training she does really good if she is naked or just has a top on but anytime we put underwear on her or a pull up she just goes sits on potty and goes right thru it. i was just wondering if anyone had this problem and wat there advice is. also when she's outside she won't tell me if she got to go she goes right there no matter if she has underwear or wat. i even ask her and she tells me no. so any advice is helpful.
She's just not ready yet and although you think she's getting the idea, she isn't. try again in two months and just keep doing that. It is a slow process and that is something that I had learned. I have three.
I had a really hard time training my son. What I eventually ended up doing was sitting him on the potty every hour on the hour. He had to sit until he went. It took him about a day to realize what was happening. The second day I got brave and took him to the mall in his underwear, with the intentions of watching the clock and just keeping our routine. Well, he surprised me by telling me he had to go before I even got to the time limit. Now, keep in mind, he was 3 months shy of 3 when this all happend and we had been toying with potty training since he was about 2 1/4. It may take some time. Just be patient with her. I've heard girls are much easier than boys.

As others mentioned, 2 is on the young side. You may be able to train her at this point, but you are simply going to face more accidents and more maintenence on your end for keeping track of times she went and asking her to go regularly. My daughter basically self trained at about 2.75 years - just woke up from nap asking for underpants. Even during the first week or two we didn't need to ask her about going - she just told us and she could go longer in-between times. She had 2 accidents. It was a very simple process. I have a younger son that was only 17 months younger and so it was just easier for me to have her in diapers so I wasn't in a big rush to train her. It ended up working out very well for us to just wait though. It's different for every family and child though.
my daughter was potty trained just before her second birthday she also went around naked for about a week. then I put a long shirt on her she did well with that . she did it that way for about two weeks. if we did happen to have to go somewhere she was put into a pull up. but most times she was dry when we got home. as soon as we did get home she would sit on the potty for a few minutes. and then be with out a pull up the rest of the time. if we would go out I would take her back in the house if I thought she had to go and make her sit on the potty. eventually she got tired of this habit and started informing me when she had to go. if you think she has to go she probably does so take her in and have her sit on the potty for a bit. most kids will say no when asked if they have to go mainly because they are enjoying what they are doing and dont want to stop. when I did put my daughter in underwear I did have to explain to her that they were not diapers so you dont go potty in them you go on your potty. we went threw a few accidents but she would be so mad at herself for doing so that she would cry about it. just be patient and try going on short trips when you do go out. at least until shes going on the potty consistantly.
YES! My daughter does THE SAME THING! She started this when she turned two in January. When I am at home with her I let her naked with just a shirt on. She pees on the potty all day with no accidents. Put a pull up or panties on her and she goes in them. I'd love to know how to figure this out too.
have the same question for a daughter the same age - interested in the responses
I had the same problem and the Dr. told me that he was not ready to be potty trained. When they are ready they will go. My son was 3 years and two months before he was potty trained.
Hi L.,
Two is a little on the young side to be potty training. Is she dry through the night yet, even sometimes? We started our daughter at 2 1/2, basically because she wanted to after spending a vacation with an older cousin. She was trained in a day or so. Take your time, she will get it.
Maybe she just isnt ready yet. When I was potty training my daughter we started working on her around 2. She sisnt really get it til closer to 2 1/2 . what worked for me was just letting her run around the house with nothing on her bottom. I would take her to the potty every hour. Sometimes she would go sometimes she wouldnt. Most of the time she did. We had a few accidents but after she pooped on the floor and stepped in it ( sounds gross I know but it worked ) that was the last time she did it. I didnt use pullups except at night and if we went away. They are too much like a diaper. The 1st time we went out in panties we did a short trip like the grocery store and right back ( not a big order just a few things ) I made her go before we left and as soon as we got back. Then gradually added more and more time to it. I always had a spare set of clothes and of course asked her alot while we were out if she had to go. We did have a little set back when my sone was born but within a week she was back to doing it. It takes a lot of patience and dedication. I know sometimes it would have been more convenient for her to just be in a pull up but we didnt . we just kept at it. I read somewhere though that once you start the process that you should keep at it. Good Luck
Oh we bought books too for her about going on the potty and whenever she went we made a BIG deal about it. We had the pee pee dance we did. LOL
