potty training?

Question

my daughter as just started to potty train. i put her on the lil potty after she wakes up from the night and after naps and 75% of the time she will go. (yay!) but she has a problem the rest of the day of telling me after she goes! she'll run to the bathroom door and and yell and say "poopoo" but she has already gone. how do i get her to distinguish between needing to go and already gone?

if u dont know please dont answer....its a waste of my time

Answer 1

I actually just worked with my daughter on potty training as well - it took her some time to understand the feeling of needing to go before she went - just keep doing what you are doing. She will get there. You are doing a great job putting her on the potty when she wakes up, but try putting her on at other times in the day as well. In the beginning, my daughter spent a lot of time on the potty. If she went, great - if not, we tried again a little later. This is a difficult skill for kids because they have to learn to use and control the muscles used in going to the bathroom and it isn't something you can really explain. They just need time to get it. So, just be consistent and keep doing what you are doing. I think she will ge the hang of it soon. My daughter would do the same thing in the beginning and soon go it done. Good luck!!

As far as I know it's a "they'll get it when they're ready" deal. We argued with our daughter for almost a year and she'd STILL wait too long before she'd tell us, just like yours. Then one day my mom mailed us a copy of the book "Hello Potty" and we gave it to her to look at while we drove to the grocery store. She looked at all the pictures and when we got to the store she said "Mommy! I have to go potty!" My wife took her in the ladies room and she used the potty ever since.

You might try talking to her when you put her on the potty in the morning and after naps "Do you feel full in the tummy? That's how you know it's time to go potty!" But aside from that it's just another test of your parenting patience I think.

Best of luck!

This is perfectly normal. I know its gross but sit down and explain it to her. Try to offer rewards when she does go, like stickers or treats, so she sees there is an incentive. Also, as gross as it seems, let her sit in it for a couple minutes. Once she sees that she doesn't like it or the smell , she should correct it. Potty training is very hard and requires a lot of patience. Keep up the good work, you;re doing fine.

Been there, done that. Watch her and take her to the potty right before she normally tells you potty and sit with her, keep her company until she goes then make a really big thing of it so she will want to do it "the right way". Hope that helps.

Answer 5

You need to ask her ALOT remind her...sort of Just say its time to go potty every few minutes and have her go sit if she goes yea if not ok try again in a few more min until she realizes the difference... She'll get it she just needs reminded right now. She's busy with other things too

Answer 6

Have her naked as much as possible.., Seriously, it works. "Naked and $75" is the method, let her be naked and save the $75 for carpet cleaning. When my son was 22 months old, he trained in 3 weeks this way. And, yes, the pooping part was hardest-he had the peeing down very quickly, they seem to feel like it's a part of their body being flushed away, so don't flush it in front of her, unless she's okay with that.

Answer 7

I truly don't know ! I would Just act stupid and Say " All Done"
No More Bye Bye Poopoo all gone" !

I don't have kids so I would Recommend asking a professional !
But Seriously That Idea won't work !

I would be like ! Yah That's gross !

Answer 8

Just keep doing what you are doing and she will eventually get it right, remember to keep asking her and putting her on the potty during various times of day, it also helps if you take her into the toliet with you and show her what you have done. Keep it up you are doing well!!!

Answer 9

That sensation comes after a time. My daughter isn't ready yet! She screams and tells me every time she pees but won't put it in the potty. The poop part is the last part to come. Please don't discourage her because she may just hold it and that's another problem in itself. Patience and be encouraging and when she is ready, she is ready.

You can put a chart in the bathroom on the wall and everythime she goes " In the potty " she gets a pretty sparkly sticker to put on the date. Make sure the chart is eye catching and bright so she will want to put her pretties on it.
