Potty Training...?
Answer:
Both my kids were potty trained by 2 years old. But it will only work if your daughter is ready, which it sound like she is. Stay home for the next few days and let her just go diaper free & put her in "big girls underware" (its better in the summer since you can just let them go naked except panties, too cold right now) You will have to have patience and a sponge since she will have a few accidents. If she is really ready after a few accidents she will start to make a consious effort to use the bathroom since she will soon find out how ucky it is to pee on themselves without a diaper on. Take her to the bathroom sometimes even if she doesn't ask. Look for the potty dance signs, but stay away from diapers and pull ups unless you are going out, and then get rid of those asap as well. I used to take the potty in the car with me during the early stages of potty training. This is all trial and error on her part, but if you don't get rid of the diapers as soon as she starts making an effort to use the bathroom, she will become lazy and just go in her diaper instead of stopping what she is doing to go the the bathroom. You can also give her a reward system, such as making a chart and putting a sticker everytime she goes. You could could make up a dance or cheer to do everytime she goes, it will boost her confidence.
you ar eon the right track and so is your daughter. i have 3 kids and they will get more cosistant as they get closer to age 3.
I put the potty in front of the tv during her favorite shows
I encouraged her to sit on it like a chair
then when she's all relaxed watching her shows, she goes. Then I would make a big deal about my big girl. I gradually moved the potty to the bathroom
she's 2 and a half and been potty trained six months.
It sounds like you have a good start. Try putting her on the potty every two hours for just a few minutes. But don’t rush her! Repetitiveness is best.
We had a favorite doll or toy that we let the babies potty train and they would say "Oh! Barney needs to potty" and they would run their toy to the potty and after a few days they would say " I need to potty" and off they would go. Now I am not saying that we did not have mistakes but they caught on fast , by teaching their favorite toy. We as humans learn better if we teach something to someone else.
good for her! She is doing great for that age, you are right on track. Maybe you could bribe her with a couple of smarties or a sticker, worked for us! Encourage her to sit and look at a book if she doesn't go right away. Whatever you do, don't pressure her, it'll happen soon enough, you are both doing great! Good luck
We are in the middle of potty training with my daughter. My sister-in-law recommended having her drink a lot of whatever is her fav. drink and keep her without a diaper. Have the small potty near by and just keep trying to have to sit on it. It did work the first time we tried this. Now we keep her in pull ups all day and a diaper at night. She is not fully potty trained, it was just a start. My daughter started the same way yours did. It will come soon. Good luck.
Oh also, I had put a few m&ms in a cup and told her if she used the potty she could have them. That one day only we gave her m&ms. After that she just got lot's of praise and hugs and kisses!!
if shes telling you she has to potty that's a good thing i have a three year old and shes been going to the potty since she was two.what i did was first thing in the morning sit her on the potty,after she eats,and drinks,in between changes,and make it fun.me and my daughter did a dance after she went potty,give her a reward(candy,chip,extra juice,out for lunch or dinner,ect.).you have to keep doing it until she get it,it will take sometime but she will get it
I used to make my 2 year old sit on the potty every 2 hours initially and sing her a particular song. Sometimes she would go and sometimes she wont. Then finally she started singing that song when she felt the need to go. That became my cue to a happier diaper free life.
Just that word... "Potty Training" My head starts hurting, my eye. twitching, I may even start hyperventilating.
It was soooo hard..for my son. He wasnt done until 3 1/2. But I knew he was ready earlier, but he still kept going in his pants... he just would hold it for so long, there was no way to make it.
My biggest mistake.. was using Pull-Ups... Those were of no help. My biggest HELP... just plain ol undies... from the dollar store, so if they got groady, i threw em away. he hated the mess that underwear gave when he had an accident.
I watched the movies, I read the books, I even brought a potty with me everywhere. I had the potty sitting BESIDE him in the car and he still peed on himself.
All the while my SIL who I think is just a terrible mom b/c all she does is HIT HIT HIT HIT HIT her kids all day long... well... her kid has JUST TURNED 2 and wearing underwear and she brags and smirks.. " Well, My little Jocelynn is already potty trained hmph.. what about Trey?"
meanwhile, I look like the mom on desperate housewives when she goes nuts... sitting in a corner.. thinking.. Why God? I try hard to be a good mom.. i do. Why do I have to clean up dookie and pee pee off the floors.. the carpets. sometimes the WALLS every day of my life?
But in the end, a straight month of Underwear was the winner. That simple? Why didn't someone tell me?
my daughter started at 2 1/2 it last 2 months until she was completely done with diapers, she will do it when she is ready ,i bought elmo potty trained toys, books, cds , dvds you name it i had it , since she was 1 i 've been trying and why it was time she did it on her own , the best thing to do is to go to the bathroom with her everytime that you are going and tell her: you see mommy use the bathroom you have to do the same , and also turn on the water when she is in the bathroom it will make her go. good luck
I am not a parent yet but i have lots of experience with this subject make it easy for your child don't make it complicated the easier you take it the faster your child will learn the potty thing
