i am trying to potty train my daughter please help?

Question

my daughter will sit on the potty but wont do anything and then she thinks its funny to wee next to her potty instead of on it so i dont no what to do any suggestions?

Answer 1

Here it is- it has worked for my 2 kids,and others after I tell them........

1. get m and m's handy
2. get a small potty chair
3. get a couple books about potty
4. you need to be home for about 4-5 days straight
5. now you can start. let them run around bare-but
6. Set the timer for 1/2 hour. Tell him/her to sit on the potty for 5 min. (read them a book in the mean time if it's to long for them.) If they go, give lots and lots of praise!!! I mean go crazy!! Give them about 3 m and m's.
7. Set the timer for 1/2 hour
8. Avoid asking the question "you got to go potty?'
9. Timer goes off- ok! What does that mean junior? Time to go potty again he or she would say, or you say it if they don't
10. repeat process all day long. If they go # 2 in the potty, reward with a handful of m and m's. They are very colorful and kids love them!!

11. Praise praise praise. I do spank my kids for behavior problems such as lying, disobedience, and bad attitudes, but never for having an accident. If there is an accident, clean it up queitly, and don't say much at all. Remind them it's ok, but try to make it in the potty next time, or in your own words.

Good luck!!! Hope this helps you. My 2 year old girl was potty-trained in about 3 days with the method. Took my 2 1/2 year old son about a week. Leave pull-ups on them at night just in case.
p.s. if this doen't work at all, try again in a few months.

Answer 2

My 2 children became toilet trained overnight simply by waiting until they were ready and not setting timetables. One was 3 the other 2. I never used potties but bought a step and seat for the toilet as I think they have to relearn when they are bigger. Ignore advice or comments from older family members-just because it used to be done a certain way doesn't make it right-babies "potty trained" at 18 months were often just sat on there after a meal and couldn't get off until they had performed.

Be positive, don't let them see you are stressed about it-clean it up-ignore the child while you do this-any attention is good attention to a child. Best of Luck!

Answer 3

You didn't say how old your daughter is, and that makes a big difference. If she is 18 months or older, every time she goes next to the potty instead of in it, pick her up and put her on the potty and say "NO. pee goes IN the potty". Give her a small reward, but this only works if you ONLY give her one when she goes in the potty.

You might try sitting her backward on the toilet instead of on a potty chair. My kids liked that better.

Mini m&ms make a great reward.

Answer 4

How old? Perhaps you are pushing too soon. It's wonderful to begin introducing her to the concept of big girls going p p on potty, but if her interest isn't there right now, it would do you or her any good to push it and get frustrated. Wait a bit longer and keep trying.

As I've shared before on Answers, I tried here and there with my son. Until I shopped with him and let him pick brand new "big boy" underwear he couldn't wait to wear, he wasn't as motivated to use the toilet all the time. Sure there were some accidents when I let him wear the underwear to get the feel of being a big boy, but all it took was a weekend and then he was using the toilet and "big boy" undies from then on out. The timing has to be just right for the child, and ALL children are different unfortunately.

Answer 6

My child never took to the kiddy potty. We bought an adapter seat at walmart and put her on the big potty. To her, the little one with the bright colors and cartoon characters was a toy. Not a big surprise when you think about it. I filled her up with kool-ade (which we never drink usually, but she guzzled it like a sorority girl). Talk about a target-rich environment. Give her a book, set her down, and party like an idiot when the pee goes in. Call Daddy, call Grandma, call Dora. Then show her the diaper package with the baby on the front and toss it cause she's a big girl and they wear pull ups and panties. My girl was potty trained super fast after that.

Answer 7

well to her it like a game hun,if she wees at the side of the potty,don't say anything just clean it up.when she site on the potty,tell her she a good girl,and give her a hug. And when she does a wee in the potty,just clap your hands saying good girl. It making less fuss of her if she does it at side of her potty,and alot of fuss when she goes on the potty. Prob without you thinking your doing it,you might show more fuss when she does it at the side of potty. She'll get there in the end,all kids love playing games.even more when they get a response with it...lol good luck

Answer 8

Dont rise to it - buy her a packet of stickers and say that every time she does a wee in her potty you will let her put a sticker on it. My sons potty was covered in stickers by the end of the week!!
Just take it slow...she is only 2!! xx

Answer 9

all kids are different,im going though it now with my son, i first tried when he was 18 month, i thought he was ready but he wasnt he just didnt get it! but i kept the potty where he could see it and told him what it was he slowly got used to it and comfortable with sitting on it. Sometimes he would pee sometimes not! I didnt pressure him i just waited till he asked me what it was and i would tell him, till eventually the other day he pulled out potty and sat on it (he is now 27 mnths) I asked him if he wanted his nappy off and he sat and peed no problem! i gave him lots and lots of praise!! ( though no m&ms they would make hi, hyper he too young for those things i think!!!)
basically just be calm as they can sense when we are uptight!
and be patient maybe your daughter is not ready yet you will know when she is! dont give up!
I know how it feels i felt a failure like i was doing it all wrong but youve just got to let the child do it at her own pace. so as not to get problems with constipation and other things. once she is out of nappies you will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 10

i asked the very same question not too long ago and i got lots of different advice but the lady who helped the most said every child is different and to watch for the signs ie trying to pull her own nappy off so i did a week later she was doing just that so i started with all the advice from stickers to treats to a big round of applause if she sat on it for even a min weather she did anything or not. after the 1st day she began to make a game outta it by day 4 she was doing a wee in it and day 7 she was telling me she wanted to use it.pick a time to start when ur not stressed or tired and that ur not planning on going anywhere i spent a week at home when i was training mine, its too confussing taking the nappy away then putting one on when ur in a rush to get to town. plenty of patience and even if u feel silly doing a song n dance routine when she does go its worth it to see the look of pride on their little face when they do master it. then take ur daughter to town and let her pick out her big girl pants to wear make her feel special. it takes time to learn like anything new but she will do it eventually.
