Answer 1

My daughter was even worse - she knew how to use the toilet because she would show off and use it a couple of times just to get praise, after the novelty wore off she went back to peeing herself so I got her some pull-ups. She would take them off herself after she did something just like your daughter. Its not that she didnt know how to use the toilet, she just didnt WANT to! I stopped letting her wear pull-ups but she knew where I kept them, so when she needed to do her business she would go and get one out of the closet, put it on, do what she needed to do, then take it off!!! She's very stubborn!

Eventually Grandma came to stay and she would use the toilet to please Grandma, so my suggestion is this:

HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE DO THE TOILET TRAINING! KIDS DONT LISTEN TO THEIR MOMS!

Remember babies dont like change and you have to do everything gradually - always let them have something familiar!

Answer 2

I also have almost 2 year old daughter with with a royal potty chair. I think in some ways the music it plays makes the nervous. When my daughter hears the music come on she is off that potty. With her baby doll on the other hand has to sit on the potty. I am going to take the batteries out of mine to see if it works. My little girl loves music,but hates the potty chair. She also wants to do everything like mommy does, so with a little time it will happen. Some do say she is to young to potty trained. I think if she is showing the interest to use the potty chair then why not let her.

Answer 3

I too have a 2 year old and she is not yet potty trained, but it is possible. My friend's 2 year old son is already potty trained. I think that it really has to do with the personality of the child, whether you are a stay at home parent, and how busy your life is, ie... other children, vacations, and other out of the home activities. One idea is to let them run around naked and make the bathroom available to them so when they do have to go they have the option to do so at their own will, however there may be accidents, but that is where your watchful eye comes in handy. Some people use pull-ups instead of diapers, but in my personal opinion it is just another diaper. Another idea is to start a bowel and bladder program, make up a chart and for the first week sit her on the potty every half an hour and track when she is wet, dry, or goes in the potty, and of course praise her for using the potty. The chart will give you an idea of what her schedule is and you can work around that.

Answer 4

She's still a bit young to use the toilet on any reliable basis. Put the potty chair in the bathroom. When you go to the bathroom, keep the door open, so she can see you doing it and learn by example that it's no big deal, not scary and not a special thing.
Let her play with the potty chair (keep it clean) and get familiar with it. When she comes in there while you are going to the bathroom, ask her, casually, if she wants to use her potty, too.
Let her go whenever you go, even if she doesn't need to right then. Congratulate her when she goes, but don't ever give her the idea that she is doing it FOR YOU. If she gets the idea that she can please or displease you that way, then it becomes a war that SHE will WIN. Just let her get used to it and use the toilet for her own comfort and well-being. Don't stress over it at all. It will happen naturally in its own time, and it will happen more quickly if you don't try to rush it.

Answer 5

I started out by buying a simple white potty that looked the closest to a regular toilet. No bells n' whistles. Then I got her the "Feel N Learn" pull-ups which are great because when they are wet, they feel wet to the child. Then we had a "sticker" program. I would put her potty in front of the toilet and we would both go potty together. Every time she was successful, she got a sticker that she placed on the bathroom cupboard beside her potty chair. That way she was able to see the rewards of her efforts. And I also made a big effort to praise her really dramatically! Then we'd both empty her potty into the toilet and wave and say "bye-bye peepees/poopoos, thanks for coming out!" She'd sometimes just sit on the chair and "pretend" to potty just so she'd get a sticker! But she quickly figured out that she needed to produce visible results... It took about 2 months. Then I took her shopping and let her pick out her own underwear (Dora). She was so happy to wear them and very, very proud. She had a few accidents but I never made a big deal out of them to her. It got tricky when we went out because it's important that as soon as said she had to potty, we had to pull over right away. I was sure NOT to fall back on the pullups just because we were out. It just prolongs the process. She was able to wear underwear during the day and a pullup at night. Then, eventually she lost the nightime pullup and I woke her at 2am and took her to the potty - every night for about a week. And then that was that.

Every child is different tho - the key is to make a big fuss when they go and not make a fuss if they don't. Good luck with it.

Answer 6

Yes, your daughter is a little young for full blown potty training, but encouragement an example is the key. My daughter did the same thing, messy diaper, off it went.....sometimes not pleasant places...lol! But what I did was when I went to the bathroom, I had her come in and watch me. when I was finished, I showed her what was in the toilet before I flushed it. Then when she went in her diaper, easier to do with poop, I took her and her diaper to the toilet and put the stuff from the diaper into the toilet and had her flush it. All while talking calmly and encouraging her. Your daughter is not quite yet ready to go to the toilet, but just keep showing her and encouraging her, eventually she will start to use it. Another thing to try would be take her to the store and let her pick out some panties. Put them on her so she can get a feel of what it's like to wear big girl underwear like mommy does. It makes her feel better, like she has some independence. Most of all be patient. She may revert back to going in her diaper and not caring about it also. This will take time, be patient and encouraging. Good luck!

Answer 7

Of course praise works wonders. Explain to her that mommy uses the potty and that she is a big girl like mommy if she does too. Maybe give her something to eat that she likes - not candy but fruit or cheese - as a treat if she uses her potty. She has the idea if she takes her diaper off when its dirty and that's really the hardest part

Answer 8

Go potty with her ..you sit on the toilet and she sit on her potty ..and it will work..It worked with all of my children ...and she is trying to tell u she is ready to be potty train...I have 3 girls and 1 boy...My girls were 2 1/2 years old when they were potty broke..and my son it took a little longer 3 long years...So, try that ...And good luck to u and ur little girl

Answer 9

my son just turned 2 in april and he does the same thing make it fun for her to use her potty and never use the potty as a punishment and always praise her and before you no it she will use the pot because she dont like how it feels on her thats why she takes it off but dont force her let her go at her own pace plzbe patient

Answer 10

you should stick with what you are doing, eventually your child will learn to go potty in the toilet, the first step in potty training is when your child knows she is wet/dirty, she knows hat something needs to be done, now just continue to show her what to do ( in a couple of months you'll be on here telling us your child goes potty in her toilet but won't go poo in it, same answer- stick with what you're doing)
