My daughter is two and I have her in uderwear during the day when we are at home, and somtimes she makes it to the toilet and other times she just goes on the floor. She doesn't like going on the floor but it just happens so quik. I have tried rewarding her and we always jump and dance and clap when she goes on the toilet..and she is so proud of her self but how do we get her completly out of diapers even at night? Is it just a matter of time?

Take her to the potty starting about 15 minutes after she drinks something. I don't know what it is about that time but it has always worked for me and I have 4. Also try putting a little potty in the same room that you spend most of your time. That way she could see it and know that she could make it in time. I have a "potty" treasure box that me and my 2 sons made so every time that they go potty, they get a small treat. Go to the dollar store or someplace like that and buy small inexpensive things to go in it. Bubbles, gum, sidewalk chalk, rings, necklaces,etc.
When I was training my other older kids, I would get up about every hour or so when they were asleep to take them to the potty and after some time of both of us being tired, they finally stopped going in their pull ups. The best advice that my pediatrician gave me once was that he has never known a child to go to school in a diaper. Give it time and just like everything else that they try that is new, they will get it!

I know this doesn't help to answer the question, but I am in the same boat. My two year old daughter was potty trained fine until I babysat a younger child. Now she will do #2 fine but she only makes it for #1 when we are out. I don't get it. My son was so easy. I have tried all of those things. I even went onto pull-ups.com and printed out the sticker sheet and tried bribery. I guess just be patient. I feel for you. I am there too. Good luck.

It's just a matter of time. Keep ignoring the oops and praising success. She's at the youngest end of the range of potty training. Remember, no one graduates from college or gets married in diapers.

First of all, breathe! You are doing a great job if she is only two and wants out of diapers. What I did was switch to cloth diapers at night (they hate that wet feeling, but it won't leak with plastic cover), and during the day at home they just went "bottomless" (i.e., little dress to cover) and I put the potty in the corner of the main room where they played for VERY easy access. It worked for my two daughters, but my sister said that boys are harder to train. hehe (: But we already knew that...just kidding...(:

Yes, it's a matter of time. Every child progresses at different levels. Even when my daughter was going during the day, I always kept a pullup on her at night for those accidents. She can still get up and go with them on.

Yeah, it's just a matter of time. She is still trying to figure out how to get control of her body and hasn't quite mastered it yet, but she will. It took us forever to potty train our son, we first made a mistake by presenting him with little gifts and toys whenever he went to the potty, that worked as long as we had toys to give, but when they ran out, he didn't want to go to the potty anymore. So my advice, reward her well, but not too well and give her time!

I agree she might want to have a bladder an infection verify it out. If its no longer that talk which includes her and spot if something will be bothering her.even as my sister became dealing with her divorce many years in the past her son (who became 4 on the time) all started having injuries and it regarded that the chop up became stressing him out to the point that he might want to no longer administration his bladder or bowels. So it would want to nicely be rigidity.

She may still be too young for the muscle control. Just do not give up. Keep up the positive rewards.

it depends on how old she is daneille, but i have raised two and i found the trick is not to put so much pressure on yourself or the child. if you see her getting ready to squat, or kinda go off by herself to do her thing, then that is the time to train her . this way she knows the feeling of what she gets before going. hope this helps!! good luck
