she will come around, after 5 kids, i promise. be patient.
I feel for you! However, my son is getting ready to turn 3 in February and he could care less!! He has a thing about pooping on the pot. He's not scared or anything he just likes to do it in his diaper. Frustrating! But it's true what they say. "They'll do it when they're ready." I have found out that this is one thing that you can't force them to do. What worked well with my daughter was a potty chart. I just taped a large, brightly colored piece of paper on the wall next to the toilet and wrote her name across the top. She loved that she recognized her name! Ever time she went potty she got one sticker. Every time she went poopy she got two. Also, I skipped the little tiny pot of her own and trained her on one of those seats that sets on the toilet. That way I didn't have to train her how to use the big toilet later on. She already knew how. Plus, I wouldn't want to be cleaning that thing every time they needed to go! Hang in there. It happens before you know it! Good luck!
Don't Push Her, make it fun i turned it into a game and made a potty song (Let's go potty on the pot pot the pot pot) it worked great and I let her pick out big girl unides Dora and disney princess and everytime I go she goes and after an entire weekand of asking her every 20 min lets go potty, she loved it the number 2 part takes a little longer but after about a month we are good. Just make sure you have words like pee pee and poo poo toddlers can say them pretty good and if there are #2 accidents in the pants show the poo getting dumped into the toilet and then she gets the idea that poo goes in the toilet. Good luck to you!
I have two children and they potty trained when they were ready to do so...around the age of 2 to 2 1/2. Keep reading the books to her, show her how to use the potty, and tell her about "big girl underwear". Have her pick out her new underwear, this way she is participating. Below is a link to a helpful site. Good luck!
I started by taking my daughter with me and explaining what I was doing and reading a book (It was by Mo Wiliams...Time to Pee), and when she eliminated in her diapers, she would flush the toilet and say good-bye. About a month later, right after her bath she asked to go on the "big girl potty". She was 22 months old.
Every child devekops at their own pace and at their own time. I know I need to remind myself of this at times...I taught elementary school before I became a mom and I would tell myself all the time that I had not met a fourth or fifth grader who still wore diapers! :)
Start her out slowly by getting a potty and reading books about using the potty...once she starts showing an interest in using it just keep at it. You have to first start by sitting her on it and teaching her what it is for and get her to start saying when she feels she has to go then immediately put her on it.
This is so easy and it works: When ever Mommy goes to potty, so does your Daughter. Put her potty close to the toilet, and Take Her Every Time you go. Give it about 1 month of doing this and she will be potty trained, It does work great....no books needed, just from alto of experience... lol
The main rule when it comes to children as you will know is you cant force them to do anything just be patient leave the potty where they can see it she will use it when she is ready. My son is 2 in march he says he needs to wee so i take him to the toilet and he just messes about so i've left the potty down stairs and he isn't interested but everything comes with time
Well we are in the same boat, but my daugther after showing no interest one day asks me to use the potty and take her to it, ( adult potty) so i place on it holding her and she just goes, this continued for 2 weeks until she finnaly used her own potty,, but honestly it is a blessing that i didn't have o push her i let her be and she just did it, besides forcing a child to potty train may scare them...
well it took me two days to pottytrain my daughter at two years of age...i sat down and made out a schedule to have her sit on the potty chair every two hours, i have even sat the potty chair in the living room and put in a video on pottytraining. basically i sat with her in the bathroom every two hours reading books to her while she sat on the potty chair, we sat for about 5-10 minutes and usually accomplished peeing on it, then when she did do that i either gave her a treat or put a sticker on a chart for her to see her accomplishment, after the initial two days it was just merely staying on schedule. good luck
Wait till she shows more interest. Children develop at their own pace. Encourage her but don't be pushy. When she's ready, patience, understanding, pull-ups and her self-confidence are essentials.
