She was almost potty trained, and then we had a fire at our home, and the emotional trauma caused a set back. She will be 5 in 6months, so I am wanting to get this done, now.

In addition to the great answers above I would also say that the time you choose to potty train should ideally be during a week when you have minimal activities on. There should be a build up to this week - keep telling your daughter what is coming up - get her really excited about it. Go shopping for some underwear with her. Buy her some little gifts/ sweets for the week of training. When you do start the training - don't reward her for using the toilet rather reward her for staying dry - focus on that behaviour. Don't use pull ups. Go all out with underwear - no nappies except during sleep. You have to be totally committed to the training - even in the car. I kept a potty in the boot for emergencies - used in once! Familiarise yourself/daughter with the location of toilets when you are out shopping or even going to a friends place. All the best - and be gentle on yourself!

make her feel comfortable. tell her that everything is ok and that you will never let anything happen to her. My sister was still drinking a bottel until she was almost five. my baby sitter told her that she would not be able to go to school with a bottel. she stopped right then and there. tell her she needs to be a big girl so that she can go to school. if that does not work then take her to a doctor. she may have physical problems that is keeping her from bieng potty trained. also try to keep her on the potty all day if she will. good luck

She would be nonetheless performing like a child considering that there are such a large amount of more youthful siblings within the apartment who get extra concentration than her. I could try to persuade your sister to have her evaluated even though. Either means, she demands support. My youngsters are near in age (yr four days), however it is only the 2 of them, and now we have certainly not gave both one much less concentration and there was no jealousy or regressing to performing like a child. It all will depend on the way you deal with the youngster. My youngest even though is extra complicated than your niece. Both youngsters have been speakme transparent sentences through 18 months. My oldest has been potty proficient for virtually a yr now, and my youngest has been wholly potty proficient for two months.

Help her through the traumatic period she's experiencing. But, gently remind her she needs to work with you to get this done fast, or she won't be able to be with her friends in school or in age-related gatherings (i.e. birthday parties) while she is still not potty friendly. You may need to enlist the help of a pediatric specialist with training in dealing with major traumatic events to help you (and her) get through this more quickly. Reassure and restore her trust will help greatly, too.

Simple no more nappies during the day. Also go shopping with her and buy her some pretty undies to wear instead.
