My Daughter is going on 2yrs.........I'm trying to potty train her........First off is that to young.....And Second off..I take her diaper off for 2-3 hours and she will hold it, but when I put her on the potty she screams bloody murder and shows out. As soon as I put a diaper back on her she goes.......Is there a good way I can potty train her without all the DRAMA going on............or do I keep going like I'm going..........?...........=)

Patience. A lot of talking and explaining. Rewarding her for going at the right time with a treat might work.

there is a site pamperspages.com they have a list of signs that your daughter will use to show that she is ready, its a checklist. Experts say to start when they are 2 but every child is different. Mine started training at 1 she will be 3 soon and knows how, where and when to go but chooses to use her pull up. If it is a test of will just keep taking her every couple of hours and when you change her put her on the potty, but don't force it that won't help. Stickers sometimes work I tell mine if she poops in the potty I will give her 3 stickers, but the pull up has to be clean she has improved with that

She make just not be ready to be potty trained. My daughter took a long time and was 3 by the time she was dry.
Try not to get stressed and don't push her too much. Why don't you take a break from it for a couple of weeks and try again. Also do you a health visitor or someone who can give you advice?
Good luck!!

Every child will let you know when they are ready, your child is not. Stop pushing the potty idea for now, you'll traumatize her. Don't be forceful. patience, love caring are what she needs right now. There is evidence that some children are not potty trained until around four, a little late in my book but hey whatever works. Give your child some breathing room. Try again every couple of months. She'll know when she's ready.

It is not to early to start if you feel that you and her are ready
My little girl also hated using the potty, but liked the idea of using the toilet, so i brought a soft toilet seat and a little step so that she could go to the toilet by herself. I just kept asking her every 5- 10 minutes if she needed to do a wee, because BIG GIRLS use the toilet like there mummies. only babies wear nappies. this worked great she is now only 2 years 8 mths old and is completely night and day toilet trained.
Also my childcare centre gives the kids a piece of paper with there name on it when they are potty training and everytime they do a wee or poo in the toilet they get a sticker, this worked with my little boy,

Don't force the issue on her. She will do it when she is ready. I would just ask her if she wants to go potty every hour or so. My boys won't use a potty chair. They refuse to even sit on it. The had to use the toilet like mommy and daddy or they wouldn't go at all. Good luck!

We started to train our daughter by giving her an M&M’s to sit on the potty, This got her to sit on the potty and soon learned what she was supposed to do. When her went we would give her serval M&M's.

take her to the bathroom with you, even if you don't have to go, go through the motions. kids copy parent behavior, so let her copy you. my friend let's her daughter go without a diaper quite often and that has helped her daughter too, but i deffinitely would take to the bathroom more often if the diaper is going to be off. the stress of accidents on furniture will distract from the reward of learning to potty like a big girl. Don't punish her for accidents(ie no snacks or no toys) and deffinitely don't spaknk her for accidents. simply explain that if she wants to wear big girl panties she has to go only in the potty.

2 is a perfect age.
Kids like routine. =) Turn potty time into a game. Say something like "if you can potty in less than 2 minutes, I will buy you a treat" or something like that.
And when she does use the potty, praise her until the cows come home =)

Sit her on the toilet and let her cry. Shes gonna have to learn sometime. While shes on the toilet let the sink run. Usually that helps. My sister did it to her daughter and it worked.
