any ideas how to potty train a stubun two and half year old girl run out of ideas and patient?

Question

any idea a good idea

Answer 1

maybe shes not ready, some children take longerthan others. unfortunately in the west there is so much pressure on mothers to get their children out of nappies in their 2nd year. It is silly for people to expect all children to be the same.

however if you think she is ready, then here are some ideas........

firstly, perservere .........dont soften, dont put her a nappy on when its easier for you ie trip to the supermarket......this sends mixed meesages.

go shopping for 'big girls pants' let her choose her own. Make a really big deal about it , get her to show them to granny etc

once in pants, dont go back to nappies. I reccomend you still let her wear one in bed, unless she wakes up with dry ones. night time training is very different and you dont want to put too much pressure on her too soon.


tell her what a big girl she is now, if she has older siblings, cousins etc say 'your such a big girl now ,just like........'

try the big toilet rather than a potty, you can buy those seats to make the hole smaller. some children respond better to toilet, because its familier to them. It also makes them feel more grown up.

make a reward chart , give stickers for every time she uses the toilet and after she attains a certain amount, then give her a reward.

buy her special hand washing soap for after wee wee!!!!!

Heap huge amounts of praise on her when she is successful.......'your such a clever girl' tell daddy when he comes home so she can hear and get everyone on board to heap on the praise.

when she has an accident, dont scold her, in a stuborn child it will make her even more stuborn, wait a short while so she feels alittle dis comfort then change her, but keep the interaction to a minimum.

good luck , dont worry too much , shell get there!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Have you tried the reward chart? I know it worked on my niece and she was 2 and a half too. My daughter has been dry since just before she was two but that's because of perseverance and advice from my mum from when she was 6 months old so that won't help but anyway the reward chart.

Just a simple bit of paper split into days of the week and a set of attractive stickers. Everytime she goes on the potty she gets a sticker. If she goes on the potty a set amount of times a week (its up to you how many you do, don't set it too low tho!) then she can have a treat, something inexpensive but that she'll love even if only for a week or so.

Try getting her into a routine of it too. Sit her on the toilet/potty as soon as you get up, after breakfast etc. Even try moving the potty into the bathroom and get her to sit on it when you yourself go to the toilet so she can be 'just like Mummy'.

Other than that its heap loads of praise on her when she does go and try not to make too much of a fuss if she does have an accident. Oh and if she does have an accident try sitting her on the potty then because she'll get use to the association between the two (hopefully!). I know its frustrating (my much younger brother was still using his undies as a portapotty when he was 6) and its hard not to get angry when you have the mess to clean up. I'm afraid perseverance and praise are the best advice I can give, that and a treat if she's really, really good!

Oh I just remembered, my friends daughter is about the same age and was potty trained but due to a new baby has taken a step back, is being given her favourite chocolates as a treat if she 'keeps her hearts/bows' on her princess training pants (the ones where the hearts/bows disappear if they're wet) for a whole day. not sure how that's going to be honest but perhaps if your daughter can see as well as feel when she's been, try and get her to be proud of her hearts/bows even if it means running round the house in just them and a t-shirt, its worth a try, right?

Sorry its a bit long winded but you have all the luck i can send you!

Answer 3

You can't make a child go to the bathroom in a toilet. They will do it when they are ready. If people make comments to you, ignore them. All children are different, you can't compare yours to a friend who's 1 1/2 yr old is already potty trained. My daughter was almost 3 before she was even ready to go into training pants. She is almost four and has only been in underwear for about 5 months. My son is almost 2 and I know he isn't going to be ready for a while. First thing is to make sure they are off the bottle. And no drinks an hour prior to bed time. If the wake up with a dry diaper in the morning then that's a good sign. I've also heard, that letting them run around naked is a good way to start. Because they have spent so much time in diapers they do not know what it feels like before they have to releave themselves. So... if they are free forming it then they will learn to know when they have to go. They will have a few messes, yes, but if you keep a close eye on them and try to make sure you take them to the potty when they do go, they may learn a bit faster. Make potty time fun, go in and sing with them. Make it a bonding time for you two, so they find it a good thing and not just a chore, something they have to do. And never punish them for not going in the toilet. It ruins their self esteem. I found that everytime my daughter went in her pulls ups and I scolded her, she was loose some progress. She stared not caring about going in the toilet anymore. Also buy them some really cool underwear something they want to wear, and then tell them that it is for when they start going to the bathroom in the toilet. Don't say you can't have it till then, make it a fun goal. Don't reward them with candy and stuff when they go, this will only make them think they can get something every time they go. And if you don't have something fo them then the next time they may decide not to go in the toilet again. Remember that your child's bladder is not developed like ours, it is not always their fault, my daughter wets the bed a few times a week. I started setting my alarm, and getting her up in the middle of the night to go. It is lessoned the amount of laundry I do and the number of wet nights. Take your child into the bathroom with you when you go, show them that you do it too make it fun. Most important thing to do is be patient. You can also buy one of those toilets that sings, that is what worked for my niece. My sister had a hard time getting her off the toilet. If you don't have other kids running around, buy a few different potty seats. Put one in the living room and one in the bathroom so it's there and they have a constant reminder. But don't push, let it happen gradually. And remember not to compare your child to others, all kids are different and need different things and develope at different rates. Your child is no better or worse than another one.

Answer 4

I trained two chidren the same way. Firstly you have to clear your schedule for 5 days. If you want to see people ask them to come to you.
Next have a potty available to your child and let them run round without any underwear on for the whole 5 day period. Changing from nappy to pants confuses them as they still have the feeling of somthing on. You may have a couple of accidents but they should soon get the gist of things. Obviously a nappy at night until confident they will sleep through without an accident but ensuring they go before bedtime should help.
Good luck and hope it works. Also don't scold if they have an accident this will just set things back...praise for using the potty and a quick oh dear for anything else

Answer 5

She is the right age for potty training. Start as soon as you can. Here is an idea my mom used with me:
1) create or buy a chart
2) buy some reuseable stickers
3) each time she uses the potty, give her a sticker to put on the
chart
4) each time she goes in her panties, take a sticker away
5) when she gets 15 or 20 stickers (or whatever you think
resonable) take her out for ice cream or something
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer 6

I started trining my daughter at 18 months. Here was my technique:

1.) Let her watch you pee - and hear it, so she understands what you are doing

2.) Take her and put her on the toilet maybe 1-2 times each hour. Even if she doesn't pee let her sit there for a little while. She will learn to like the toilet

3.) I let her run around naked. She will probably pee on the floor like a little puppy at first, but every time she does, put her right on the toilet.

4.) After she starts indicating that she wants to go... take her every time with consistancy.

5.) Start using pantie (she might get a little confused thinking they're diapers and back track a little)

6. Never yell about an accident, try to make it enjoyable, give lots of praise everytime she succssfully uses the potty.

Answer 7

It takes a bit of your time but this works very well. I raised 19 children and it is the best method I know. First buy a dolly that wets. Have your child teach the dolly to use the potty. Have her award the dolly with a sticker when she successfully makes it to the potty. Never let her give the dolly a sticker when she does not get the dolly to the potty on time. After a short time she wants to take the dolly's place and you can then train her the same way.

Answer 8

She may not be ready. It can do more harm than good if you try to push them into potty training.
If she is showing some interest I found what worked well for my child was that I would sit him on potty and we would read books or watch TV then if some happened to happen I would make a big deal about it.
But the key is that they have to be ready.
The average age for a girl to start training is about 2, the average age for a boy is about 2.5, but those are just averages so I wouldn't worry too much.

Answer 9

Don't potty train her. She may not be ready. We have a potty seat (fits on our toilet seat) and a potty chair, and Johnny picks which one he wants to use.

There are actually videos that you can get that are for kids and they're all about potty training.

Try an ice cream chart. Make a chart that's tall, and everytime she goes pee, she gets one sticker. When she goes poo, she gets two stickers. When the chart is filled to the top, she gets ice cream (or some other treat).

Also, if she's not ready to potty, let her learn at her own speed. Go to your pedicatrician, they can give you more tips and tricks.
