Potty Tranning

My little boy was three days from his 3rd birhday before being potty trained. He has never had an accident and is very well adjusted just give it time. It will happen before they start school it just seems like forever.

she is too young.. I trained my daughter when she stood still for one minute with a look on her face.. and I askedher what she was doing and she told me "peeing" she was trained before seh was 2 1/2..

do not waste your money on pull ups - my duaghter called them panty diapers.. and peed in them.. buy cotton training pants.. (gerber makes them) they are really thick and absorbant.

I got the potty out at about 2 just to introduce it to my son. In the beginning he played with it and occasionally used it properly. He also went through a phase around that age of taking off his clothes and diaper and running around naked, often peeing on the floor. Then he just sort of stopped and lost interest all together. Now, he knows when he has to go and will even take his clothes and diaper off to do that, but he has not consistent with it and most of the time just goes in his diaper. I really think it's an age and maturity thing. They cooperate more if they're ready. At this point, I probably should stay home with him for a couple of days in underwear and really push the issue since he understands the concept, but I think I'm the problem in this one because I'm so busy and don't want to stay home.

Good luck! She'll probably get there when she feels she's ready.

Two years is AWFULLY early to train a child successfully, and is likely to make both of you unhappy about the process for many months to come. Some children do train that early, but it is extremely rare, and many of those children regress at some future point. Wait until she shows a genuine interest and is able to communicate more complicated ideas. The process will usually only take a week or two when a child's body and nervous system are mature enough for them to connect all the complicated dots. That is often between 2 1/2 or 3 for little girls.

You may already be doing this, but it seemed to help my daughter... I took her into the bathroom with me almost every time I went, and talked to her about what I was doing. When we visited my mom, she would take my daughter with her in the bathroom.

When my daughter started taking her diaper off and peeing on the floor, I told her she didn't have to wear diapers anymore, IF she went in the potty chair instead. She decided that's what she wanted to do and we were done with diapers. I did not use pull ups at all, so I did have to do extra laundry for a bit (but so much better than changing diapers!). My daughter rarely had poop accidents, just potty, so it wasn't too bad.

The other thing that I think helped was that I used cloth diapers, and at night, cloth "bedtime panties". My daughter didn't like the feeling of being wet, so she decided that she was done with diapers, not me!

It seems to work better when they decide they are ready, so just keep talking to her and watching for signs. And try not to let it become a power struggle! If she is throwing fits & running away, she may not be ready. Good luck!

Get the 3 day potty training (http://www.3daypottytraining.com/)! It works! I just did this with my 33 month old. She was PP trained in 3 days. That was 2 weeks ago and she is nearly fully poop trained too. Poop is a bit harder because it feels different. We have no diapers or pullups in the house.

GL!

shes just not ready yet shes still very young, give it a rest adn try again at 2 and a half or when she 1. stays dry for a long time 2. tells you when shes dirty 3. shows an intrest in what you are doing in the bathroom until then you just wont win. hope this helps!
