How can I get my daughter potty trained?

Question

Hi we have been tring to potty train my dauhgter for over a year now and she doesn't want to, we have tried all kinds of methods for example, She gets to put stickers on her board if she goes like a big girls and she really wants to go to school so we explained that she has to learn to go on the potty first, But she just says she doesn't want to be a big girl she wants to wear her dipper, I really need some help in this, exspecially since she is starting school next year, please if anyone can help let me know.

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 girl was potty-trained in two days with the method. Took my 2 1/2 year old son 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

You've obviously started her too early and pressured her. I successfully potty trained hundreds of children both my own and other children, As a trained nursery nurse. My advice is to leave it for a while and don't mention potty training.
Then perhaps take her shopping and let her choose some pretty knickers/pants and don't mention big girls, as thats obviously a word she doesnt respond to. You could also try her with a step for the toilet and get a child seat for the toilet. But children will potty train when they are ready and not before. Stop stressing about it. My own daughter potty trained in two weeks when SHE was ready. Hope that helps

Answer 3

Sounds like a difficult challenge. She seems to understand the concept but not want to conform to it. Perhaps, you should get rid of the diapers altogether. When she is around other children her age and she has an accident in her pants she will be embarrassed. Peer pressure will cause her to want to use the potty. My oldest granddaughter was pretty much the same way. What did it for her was when she went to a birthday party with her cousins. She wet her pants, her cousins teased her. Potty training was not an issue after that. She started pre-school the next year with no problems.

Answer 4

My daughter will be 2 in November and I have recently started to potty train my baby. Sum may think its a lil too early but my lil girl is very smart(a little too smart) which is why I began so soon. Neway my method is everytime I go, I make her go. When she goes, her dad and I "throw a party" Not a real "party". We clap and sing,and prance around the house,give out hugs and kisses and cookies or whatever special snack she likes. And she only gets that snack when she goes potty. She has other snacks but that one particular snack is only for using the potty. This way she looks forward to going. Now she grabs my hand or her dads hand and says "potty" and we take her. Sometimes she forgets and I don't get mad,or "severly punish" her. I just talk to her (because they do understand us) and we try again. Works for me. May not work for everyone.

Answer 5

The earlier you train the better...She probably has a good ideal of what she should do and when..but is getting way to much attention to go.

start to time her. after she drinks about 1-1 1/2 she should be ready and child have a bowel movement around the same time every day. find hers

after she does go to the potty, don;t make such a big deal but instead praise and continue on.. use things like I knew you knew how to do , keep it up girl

Answer 6

this labored for all my children a appeal. as ive discovered, children are continually short of to detect new matters as im definite you recognize. begin of with getting a brightly colored potty or animal potty. Tell her at any time when you think the poo or wee coming run to the say inexperienced turtle. gift her on the begin. It will take a at the same time, however through the years it'll paintings. while it is time to move to the colossal potty ie. toliet, make her think as though it is a colossal lady factor and he or she'll wish to turn out to you she is. well good fortune ! x Ava

Answer 7

Try potty training 3 days before and after a full moon. I know it sounds ridiculous but I swear it works. Good Luck!

Answer 8

If she is old enough to understnad consequences then take her diapers away and make her wear panties. If she wets in them she has to go clean her self up, to include a bath and new outfit. She will only do this a few times before she realizes its easier to go on the potty.

Answer 9

I think the best method is "throwing away" the diapers in front of her, and putting her in panties except for at night. I used to teach preschool and this is the best way. There will be some accidents at first, but at that age she should be able to learn to controll herself fast.

Answer 10

do you have a younger child in diapers?? if so that can be really hard (sibling rivalry) i just stopped buying diapers and pull ups. they absorb the moisture and the child is not uncomfortable. take her to buy panties. she will have accidents still(dont react negatively, this will only make it harder) and will realize how uncomfortable it is, eventually she will want to be a big girl. stick with it good luck.
