I have been potty training my daughter for almost two months now. she was doing fine, now she wont go when i ask her too.i know shes holding it. then she will have an accident on the floor. she will tell me once a day and make it to the potty. I have tried everything from,stickers, bribing, to time out, playing( she like when i take her toys in there and ply while she sits). I cant get her to go on my time.. I cant get her to go when I say-and I know she has to.shes 26 1/2 months.she goes at night b4 bed time in toilet, its during the day that is the problem. thanks..

Thats completely normal to have set backs...
Perhaps you are pressuring her too much... You might have to go back to the asking every 30mins to an hour...
Potty time should be fun.. not a chore and not a demand from parents..
Your daughter won't be in diapers forever though.. Just have to be consistant..
Good luck!

I go through this with my daughter ever now and again. She is 32 months and has been trained for about 6 months. When she starts to have accidents again, it seems its usually because she is playing and doesn't want to stop to go potty. I reinstate rewards with her once I realize it's a problem and I begin again to take her ever half hour to an hour whether she says she has to go or not. If I get upset with her over this, she does worse, so I try to just not let it bother me but let her know that it is unacceptable to go potty in her panties. I make her clean up any mess she makes (if she pees on the floor, etc.. {this part she actually likes, makes her feel like a big girl, like mommy, funny isn't it? :O}) I also have her take her soiled clothes to the washing machine and put them on top. These bouts don't seem to last longer than a week for her. Good luck, I hope this helps!

I am going through the same thing with my daugher right now and she was all about the potty and then all the sudden started to have accidents and wouldn't tell me when she had to go. She goes to a day care during the day and they have the potty chart there for every step, pull down, pee, poop, pull up, wash hands and she gets a stamp for each thing she does. At home I do the same as you- I use stickers and verbal recognition. She likes when we sing songs when she sits down. 2 weeks ago she wouldn't go poopy on the potty and I think it was because I would always be saying you shoudl poop on the potty too (she has the whole peeing on the potty down and rarely goes in her pull up)- I backed off for a week and sure enough about 80% of the time she would tell me that she had to poop BEFORE she actually did it. I think I was putting to much pressure on her and she had to get there on her own. My suggestion is give her space and when she does go keep up the good work with the stickers and verbal encouragement. I also leave out the toys in the bathroom now becasue I found it distracted my daughter and we could sit there for up to 15 minutes because of them.
Now I have a girl friend who is at home with her daughter all day- she lets her walk around without a diaper on and she goes in the potty all the time because she knows she knows that is where she is supposed to go if she doesn't have a diaper/pull up on. Now her problem is she will still wet her pull up if she has one on- so I hope she grows out of the whole having no panties or pants on thing!
Good Luck!

You need to be consistent, and take her before bed, after she gets up in the morning, and after every meal, naptime. Its alot of work and time involved, but if she wont go when you tell her to, then she may be just too stressed. You have to just keep taking her, and making her sit on that potty until she goes. Get her some big girl panties too, I had mine in those pull ups for 6 months, and she would go sometimes but still have accidents. But I took her to Walmart and let her pick out her "Big Girl" panties, and she had one accident. And within one week of her being out of the pull ups she was completely potty trained.

I wonder if peer pressure would work? You know anybody else with a kid that is her age and is potty trained? Maybe if yours saw that it might help..who knows.
We bought a little plastic potty that sits low on the floor...he would use that and then we had to empty and clean it out.

Give her a break and put training pants on her. Sometimes you can push too much. My son was almost 4 before he went potty by himself.
