Answer 2

I know it is frustrating but each and every child is different. Have you tried putting her on the potty with her pamper still on? That might make her feel more comfortable. Also from what I've been told if you allow them to come into the bathroom with you when you use the toilet you can explain to them what you are doing and usually they like to try it because someone else is doing it. But at the end of the day you just have to persevere. I actually know of one little girl that started using the potty at 12 months old but then there was another little boy that wasn't potty trained till he was 4. She will let you know when she is ready. Hope this helps

It's hard with every child because every child is different. There are doctor's telling you not to rush your child but I understand your frustration. I started my daughter when she was 15 months. I could tell every time she needed to have a bowel movement so I would simply sit her on her potty, eventually she got use to it. Unfortunately I wasn't as lucky with her with the peeing part. So I would buy her "big girl" panties and would nicely ask her not to pee on herself... trial and error but she's trained. The only advice I have really worth giving is use your OWN best judgement and have some patience. Some days will be easier than others just be consistent. Don't worry about other people and the what the doctor's say. I don't think you will mentally scar your child with the potty-training experience.

I would suggest putting her on the potty 15 minutes after every meal or just when you feel she may have to go. Another good trick is buying those horrible plastic under wear trust me no child wants to be wet in those.

Answer 4

When I first started training my daugther, I got a bag of M&M's. And every time she went potty, she got 3 M&M's. That worked like a charm....for about a week. Then it went to me hanging a chart on the bathroom door and with the numbers 1-5 on it. And every time she went potty, she got a sticker next to the number. After she got 5 stickers, she got a new something...that worked for about an hour. lol. Finally, at 3 years old..I say to my daughter that is very fond of my mother in law....MawMaw wants to see you and let you stay a few days with her, but she doesn't want to change your diaper anymore because you should be a big girl. If you go potty all the time, you can go to mawmaw's...thats all it took. Since then, she's been doing really good. All I can say, is good luck, and she will go when she wants to go. Emily also went through, "NO I'm NOT going potty" she could...she was just spiteful.

Answer 5

I wouldn't expect a 2 1/2 year old to be potty trained.. if they lead and are potty trained by 2 1/2, great! What alot of people don't think about is that a child cannot physically potty train unless their muscles are fully developed, no one knows when that will be. If someone was potty trained at 1, that means they could control their bladder muscles at that age, it does not mean that all children will be able to control their muscles at that age.

Answer 6

Whatever you do...DON'T FORCE HER to toilet train if she isn't ready. The more you force the longer it's going to take. My best friend went through this with her son. He just wasn't interested in the potty and she was losing her mind about it all. Several pediatricians told her just to leave him alone but she kept hassling him (sometimes very angrily) and he ended up not using the potty until he was over 4 years old.

Doctors, midwives and health visitors generally agree that kids let you know when they're ready to start using the toilet and the best way to approach it is to just be relaxed. No hassling or pressure. Make it fun when they show signs that they're ready.

I read in a magazine that today's parents are too anxious to get their kids to do things early..walking, weaning, potty training and I tend to believe that.

Please keep in mind that I'm not coming down on you or anything. I'm just remembering what my friend went through..endless sreaming, fights and tantrums that extended her son's time in diapers.

Take care and good luck!

Answer 7

When I potty trained my twin girls, I started in the morning. Everymorning, I would go wake one of the girls up, and have her sit on her little potty, that was sitting in a corner in the living room, with her diaper on. Then I would do the same thing with the other one. Then they would both go into the bathroom with me while i went potty. After a week or so, they started taking their diapers off and peeing on the diaper, because they were curious. Pretty soon they were sitting on their potty in the corner in the living room to go potty. After another week or so, we moved the potty closer to the bathroom, until they were ready for the potty to be in the bathroom.

Answer 8

Work out a present method with some thing she is going to fairly like. My son did not brain peeing within the potty, however he hated pooping in it. I instituted a 'decal routine' wherein he received to place stickers at the calendar for whenever he peed OR pooped within the potty. He adored the stickers. Also, you could desire to take your youngster out of the pull-ups. Since they're colossal and absorbant like diapers, a few kids fairly do not realise (or care approximately ) the change among a diaper and a pull up. If she has 'colossal woman unders' on, she might come to a decision she does not desire to clutter them and can use the commode. A 'bloodless turkey' process coupled w/ a host of optimistic reinforcement (aka bribery w/ stickers) is what labored for my three. Good success!!!

Answer 9

For my daughter, who recently turned 3, I let her run around the house for a weekend totally naked, and suddenly the potty was the only way to go. I did this about 8 - 9 months ago, and she's been pretty good ever since.

Answer 10

Well, usually you potty train a child when he/she already retain the ability to control his/her bladder + anal sphincter.
And it happens usually by age 2 to 3 (some start at 2.5 to 3, so you're not too late...)
So... if you were asking me... it takes time to potty train a child (1-6 months), just be patient.

Usually you give a child about a year after... if by 4 years old... she's not doing it... take her to pediatrician right away...

Answer 11

Does she tell you she needs to potty or she pottied in her diaper? See mine was about 2 1/2 when he would come say Mommy I'm peeing (present tense) Yes. So, I tried everything nothing worked he would come tell me he was doing it but not that he needed to. I got so frustrated one day I finally told him when his pull-ups were gone that was it he was wearing big boy underwear and if he peed in them they woud stink and he would be wet til we could get home and change his pants. A few days later he was in his underwear on the way to Wal-Mart to buy more and said he peed (I had one of those underwear covers on so it didn't get his pants only his underwear). I told him he'd have to wait til we got there sorry. By the time we had got to Wal-Mart probably 5-10 minutes) he decided he didn't like wet underwear. He had a few accidents here and there after that but it pretty much stopped after that first time. Guess I was lucky. Hey its worth a shot. Good Luck. My twin nieces were awful. They were 3 1/2 going on 4.
