potty training trouble?
2 year old recently started potty training. she says potty potty and runs to the bathroom when she gets in there she will sit on the potty and sometimes go sometimes not then she gets up and wants to play in the bathroom with the toilet paper in the sink you name it. I dont want to discourage her by saying you dont have to when she does how can i tell if she really needs to go. its not infrequent as you think its every 2-3 mins and i feel horrible if i dont take her what do i do?
Update:The problem is we dont have the time to keep taking her there are other things that need done than to run her to the bathroom every 5 seconds. Believe me we are trying who wants to keep changing diapers.

If she only recently started potty training, claiming to have to go when she doesn't is part of the process. Unfortunately for you, it IS really inconvenient, and you WILL have to take her every 2 minutes if she says she has to go. That's just the way it is. My daughter is nearly 3 (she's been potty training for about a year) and sometimes she still has to go potty even if she literally just went. Eventually, your daughter will grasp the concept and realize what it feels like when she gets the urge to go... that's not something that can be forced.
Rather than do the bathroom thing every five minutes, tell your daughter that she can sit on the potty but not play in there. Keep the bathroom door closed and take her in there every hour on the hour while reminding her that this is not play time, it is toilet time.
Her attention span is short, which is perfectly normal. You want to associate the bathroom with the toilet, not other interesting things to play with.
in the beginning it is so hard we started when my oldest daughter turn 2 will be 3 in Jan. In beginning took here every 15 minutes. if she went great. if not would take her out of bathroom after she tried. right after 15 minutes. once she started to get it then we went to 30 minutes not we try every hour. she still have once in a blue moon accident but she finally got it good luck to you.

Don't tell her she can't play in the bathroom!
At two be glad she is getting the idea, you have a very bright little girl. if she doesn't do anything when she's on the loo, then ask her, "are you going?" if she doesn't go say, "okay hunny, lets go back to xyz" always take her when she wants to go.
You should give this a try.
