My 19 month old won't quit taking her diapers off, but won't sit on the potty?

Question

my 19 month takes her diapers off all day long but she won't sit on the potty chair, i have tryed putting her in pull ups but she would pull them off. do i try and potty train her or what? has anyone been through this and what did you do? i have a 3 year old who is potty trained.

Answer 1

I have a nudist as well. I got so sick of scrubbing pee out of my carpet! I just kept on him and when I would see him playing with it I knew he had to go so I would drop whatever I was doing ( which is very inconvenient) and sat him on the chair. Believe me sometimes he peed all the way! And if he made it to the chair I let HIM put a sticker on potty chart. Now even if he pulls his pull up off I don't worry because he knows where to go. Sometimes he has gone in the chair and I don't even realize it. He has to come get me and lead me to the sticker chart. I guess sometimes they just want to be free! Good luck.

Answer 2

My 22 mo. old granddaughter does the same thing. My daughter bought her some big girl panties and puts them on over the diapers, this helped alot, also she rewards for everytime that Alieah sits on the potty and goes, usually with a cute little sticker of some kind. The only thing we are working on now, is that baby will go #2 on potty, but not #1, when she is ready, she will get the hang of it. Just hang in there.

Answer 3

My son liked to take his diapers off too, but still refuses to use the potty. The only way I could keep his hands off his diaper was to put a onesie or whole jumper outfit on him until he got it out of his little head. As far as potty training, I could use some advice on that myself. How did you go about it? (my son is almost 3, doesn't understand the concept of pull-ups, he still thinks they're diapers)

Answer 4

she w/be ready when ready - it depends on her maturity - let her take her diapers off, and just keep trying... what can I say? it's part of motherhood. I have three boys and they were potty trained quite early in life.

Me? I was ONLY ONE! that was back in the day when kids were forced to be responsible before their time.. I think I'm still suffering the consequences :)

Answer 5

Duct tape. it rather works wonders. We used that each and every of the time on our oldest boy. putting out the diaper would not propose she is able to be potty experienced. It in simple terms ability she needs the diaper off. it rather is probable a lot extra gentle to not have that huge cumbersome factor on.

Answer 6

My nephew does the same thing he's 2 yrs , we just tell him to be a big boy and sit on the potty and he's done it like 4 times.

Answer 7

My daughter did that for awhile, I just put a pair of shorts on underneath her dress and that was the end of that. But try to potty train.

Answer 8

She sounds just like my 3 yr. old He does the exact same thing. He is very smart talks like crazy acts really like he is five, he is very independent except on the toilet, Now his other 2 brothers were both potty trained before 2, and he just turned 3. My doctor says when he is ready he will go.

Answer 9

I had a friend whose daughter did that she really did duct tape them. sometimes she put diaper on backwards. If she isn't ready to potty train then you have to figure out how to keep diaper on

Answer 10

you better start potty training her! meanwhile watch her and give her two sharp taps on her butt ( with your two fingers!) with a serious face everytime she takes off her diapers.
