Answer 1

You can start to put her every morning first thing on her potty, or just after her breakfast. And repeat it every morning. You can buy that toilet seat that you put on top of your toilet, nothing best than to do the same as mum.
And stop the nappies during the day completely. If you continue to put nappies on her, she might be confused. Go to the shop with her, let her choose her own pants. Make it a big deal. You can buy some stickers, or stamp you put on her hand, or special book. At the beginning, yes you'll have to change her a lot during the day, but keep cool. Quickly, she will understand, that if she wee on her pants, she'll be wet, and I'm sure she won't like this feeling, and will be happy to use her potty or go to toilet.
Good luck.

I'm trying to potty train my niece, since her own mother won't. She's gotten the wee-wee part down. But still has problems with the poo part.

I have learned with my nephew, you can't force it. Each and everyday. Ask if they want to use the bathroom. My nephew loves spiderman, we bought him a couple of underwear and boxers (like his daddy) and just one day he went. He hasn't had any accidents.

With my niece, she's really into barbies and ponys. I try to get designs on her panties that she likes. We have 2 potty chairs. One that you have to empty out and the other one is a thing that goes over the toilet. But everytime she uses it, we say she's a such a big girl and we tell every family member. She gets excited about it and wants to do it more.

You can't push them. They have their own mind. Just work with them everyday. Yes, you might be the parent, but you don't push them into something they don't want to do.

My nephew was a little bit over 3 when he got potty trained. My niece will be 3 in January.

Also something else that helps, if you have another toddler in the house already potty trained. They always look up to their older siblings. My niece seems to go potty everytime my nephew does.

Don't get frustrated and don't push them. Just ask them everyday.

Answer 3

I'm currently about to start my daughter potty training. But i just got one of those litte toilet seats to go over the toilet.

When she wakes up first thing in the morning put her on the toilet and say wee wee.. - do this every morning

(my daughter has always come the bathroom with me and hands me the toilet roll now' and get some for herself and pretends to wipe, so cute) Try taking her the toilet with you and u both sit, she on her potty and you on the toilet..- then u could alternate. - jsut a suggestion.- children like to copy their parents.

When she has ate or drank. wait 20 mins and repeat the process.
Keep it simple and do the same thing everytime...

Like the other person said 'make a big deal out of it and praise her.

good luck

Autumn and winter is usually a bad time for potty training but try the set from mother-care that fits over the toilet its self make her feel like a big girl and sit her on it regular , she will soon get to know what this is for and make a game of teaching her how to flush and wash her hands after wards so while your toilet trainign youre also training her hygine it work with all 4 of my kids who refused to use a potty i think its because they can be seen on the potty by strangers .get some trainign pants to just 3 or 4 pairs they are lined in cotton just incase of accidents and are fully washable. even try leaving her potty where she can see it in case she cant get your immediate attention to go she will learn she can use this for emergencys .its all in the teaching but remember not to scold her for having an accident and carry spare pants etc in a little bag so you can change her and make her comfortable .

Answer 5

Don't feel you need to do it now, because society expects your toddler to be potty trained. She will let you know when it the best time for her. She will let you know when she is ready.

My daughter was potty trained during the day at 2 years 2 months, but she wore nappies at night till she was nearly 6 years old. I didn't make an issue of it and now shes fine.

Answer 6

Positive reinforcement. Give her praise and celebration when she sits on it - even a treat or two to begin with. Don't let her see that you are upset of frustrated when she doesn't. She will realise in an instinctive way that she has some power and control over you when she can make you upset by not using it. Very mild disappointment is all you need to show. Good luck.

Answer 7

She'll let you know when she is ready. I have a friend who got all the books and latest plans to potty train her son... she did everything and she spun her wheels and got frustrated and her son finally decided ok...I'm ready at his pace.
I waited until my son started asking to be changed or taking off his diaper (about 2 1/2 yrs old) and the potty training process was REALLY easy 'cause he was ready and wanting to go on the big potty! So you'll know when she is ready, just pay attention to her signs!

Answer 8

you will have to spend a week at home really first,get her dressed normal on the top and a pair of knickers on the bottom, keep the potty handy keep reminding her every five mimutes or so by saying,: dont wet them knicks will you,keep this up for as long as possible if she wets them say oh never mind we will try again put clean knickers on and keep repeating dont wet the knicks, she will get it, when she dose a wee on the potty really praise her, jup up and down get on the phone to her dad or nan let her see how cleaver she is , its all about praise positive thinking good luck get the j cloths out it will be a bumpy ride...

Answer 9

I agree, you cant force a child on the potty it will cause all kind of problems and they will just refuse to use it, and good on kate above who is training her neice keep up the good work, as iv stated in another question my daughter is 4 in november and is still wet at night but dry all day and every so often during the nights iv done every thing i can to encourage her to use the toilet at night i keep the light on in the bathroom she used to go during the night but since me and her dad split she stopped doing it, so i just have to be patient with her again and she will do it again and eventually become dry, as for the 1 above saying use terry nappies i think that is cruel in this day and age we cant force our kids to be dry just cause it suits us and our pockets id never dream of using this method on her i never did with my eldest children who were dry from 3 n half day and night.

Answer 10

This feels like my son a pair of months in the past. the only concern I discovered is he will do it while he's waiting. He knew he had to pass to the bathing room too, yet refused to apply the potty. We kind of gave it a wreck for a week of two and then tried back. It took us a pair of tries, yet then this final time, it truly is like it in basic terms caught with him and now he continuously makes use of it. We enable him %. out "enormous boy" undies with autos and Buzz Lightyear and that looked as though it could do the trick. on condition that your son is familiar with he needs to apply the potty, he would seem waiting, yet do no longer push him. in case you take care of it like a punishment he will react to that. in line with risk examining him a narrative at an identical time as he's going potty or making a track a track to make it extra exciting for him. good success:)
