Potty Training pls help!!!?

Question

I want to know the signs when is the best time to set up the potty and just put on her underwear only. I was told that she'll do it when she's ready but how would I know? I do not want to miss the signs and the opportunity that she's ready. If I plan for a 2nd baby next year, I might be too busy to guide her and delay the process of potty training
*Sometimes she says the word "kaka" when I'm changing her diaper but I'm not sure if she knows exactly what that word means because she's not consistent
*If she has to poop, she will stop whatever she's doing and go farther from us. Then, returns back to whatever she was doing before, happier and more livelier than ever.
*If she pooped, she doesn't tell me anything. I just discover it almost immediately and change her right away. Am I acting too fast to change her right away or should I give her a chance to communicate with me?
*If poop is undiscovered, she just doesn't want to sit down, then I know she did it. Is it a sign?
PLS HELP!!!

Answer 1

umm...how old is she? (cause this is for around three years old.)

option 1
my mom did this for me when i was little: she told me if i didn't go on the toilet when my grandma was here my grandmother would turn around and go home.

or option 2
if she is into princesses stuff try and track down the frilliest underwear you can find then tell her that they are "princess" underwear

Answer 2

I am also in the middle of potty training my 2 yr old, And I am 35 weeks preg. He got to where it seemed he would stop whatever he was doing and pee. He would get a look on his face and do his due, then say diaper so that told me he knows what he is doing so he must be ready, right...? Well maybe not. We went and got scooby doo underwear which really worked at first cause he didn't want to get scooby dirty. But now he has just started holding his pee so that he doesn't have to take the time to go. I am guessing that this doesn't always happen cause I potty trained a girl I sat for by putting panies on her and asking every 30 min to an hour if she had to go. I would sit on the big pot while she was on the little one and it didn't take but about two weeks working with her she was trained. just take the diaper off her and let her feel herself wet a few times and go from there. That seemed to be what did the trick.

Answer 3

If she seems uncomfortable with a poopy diaper that is a good sign she is ready. Buy some big girl undies in a larger size than she needs and get lots of juice boxes ( I know, the sugar, but you only need it for a couple of days.) Let her have all the juice she wants and put her on the potty chair about every half an hour. Enlist the help of a friend who will agree to pretend to be Barney or Dora and have your daughter call "Dora" if she has potty success. "Dora" can praise her and tell her what a big girl she is. This method usually works pretty quickly. You didn't mention how old your daughter is but this usually works best if the child is about two and a half. Good luck!

I completely agree with Grateful... You have to just take off the diaper/pull-up and only use it for night time for a while. Also, let your daughter go pick out some panties that will be her favorites (my girl just got some Dora ones). Aftershe is starting to get it down a little tell her that if she has an accident she can't wear them until then next day. Stickers work as great rewards. My daughter also likes to hold a toy lamp sometimes when she goes (yes, even when the lights are on - I guess it just makes it fun). Just try to make it fun and let her have some control over something while she goes potty. :-)

Answer 5

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 6

Sounds like prime time to me!
Training for me was in two sections: the potty, and the poop. I'd let my son pee outside so he could actually see what was physically happening when he feels the familiar warm sensation. Once he was familiar with that, I'd put him on the potty and tell him to go potty, and if he did, I'd give him a jelly bean. It worked really well, and contrary to my husbands fears, he no longer asks for a candy after pottying.
The poop was harder. He went a couple times in the potty (he would make a face, I'd ask if he was pooping, he'd say yes, and I'd run him to the bathroom), but then freaked out and absolutely refused. For a while he stayed in 'big boys' and would ask for a diaper to poop in. It sucked for me! Remembering my candy incentive, I promised him lots if he would poop in the potty. I basically forced him to stay on it until he pooped (after making the face), and made a huge deal about how great it was and gave him handfuls of candy.
Their bodies have to be mature enough to hold their urine, and to express all of it in one sitting. Babies pee all the time because they only let a little out at a time.

Answer 7

Well, my daughter was very stubborn and wouldn't potty train totally until 3. But.. every child is differn't.

I will give you one major tip that helped me with my son.. DO NOT BUY PULL UPS! They didn't teach my kids anything except it was a diaper they could pull up instead of me fixing.

If they wet themselves a few times they will get the message :)

Good luck and be patient. If you yell at them for a mess then yous et them back quite a bit.

Answer 8

Yes there are many signs.. You should ask her every hour or 30 minutes if she needs to go potty.. And if you see her going further away from you ask her if she has to potty. or if you see her like squatting ask her then to.. My nephew is 2 years old and i ask him all the time if he has to potty and he says no but sometimes when i ask him he goes to his potty and sits on it and goes.

Here is a good potty training system I used to win my battle agains my stubborn boy http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=297
Cheers ;)

Answer 10

If she isn't liking dirty pants, and she is going further from you, she is close to being ready. If she can take down and pull up her pants on her own, that is another sign.
