Potty Training?

Question

My daughter will be 2 next summer is this the best time to potty train?

Answer 1

there is so many different things and ages you'll be told to start,
potting training,my first was almost done before her 2ndb-day,
she didn't like to do number two on the potty.but she didn't want to go in her diaper either.my doctor told me give it time and keep,
playing the games you all do with her,then one day she was in pain so bad,that my dad,said to her want to go in papa's bath-
room and go on his potty,so we all took her in,she was still unsure at first,she would look,in thepotty,and say hurts me,we told her no it won't hurt you,my dad came back a few mins,later,
and asked if it,worked,no not yet,so he went by the door and told
her just go ahead use papa's potty it won't hurt you if it does you tell papa and papa hurt the potty,and get a new one,okay?she still was a little unsure and then we heared her say papa get new potty if this one hurts me?and we held in our laugher,and said yes,and that worked.we look at each other said why didn't we
try this a while ago..she's been good since.my friend little girl,
was about 4 or so when she was fully trained,the mom didn't
want to help,like me and her grandparnets,and her dad,the mom,
said its easier for us all if she wears diapers.but when she was with the grandparnets she wear big girl underwear and went on
the potty.but when people stopd helping the mom by diapers,
she let her run around her apartment with underwear on,and
when she had to many accidents she wore nothing,and when
she wanted to go to school like her sisters we told her you've,
got to wear stuff and go potty on yuor own on the pottys,she
was all for it..now for my 2nd little girl,i had a second floor bath-
room,so i had two potty chairs,but when she got into it we had
alot more then two,for she would she one she liked at the store
we had to get it,but before that she would watch me and her
big sister on the big potty and she wanted to go,she pretty much did it all on her ownshe was just a little over one years old and i felt that was to early,but others told me thats great,she had a fighting match with me when i would put diapers on her when we went someplace or at night for bed,so i tried it at night first w/o,
and it went well.but she was walking a 9 months,got rid of her bottle around 5months,she was to much in a rush to do it all.
but it helps with older ones around and they see what the do
and say and want to do it themselfs.
so,whatever age you and her feel good with,and let her pick the
potty,the toilet paper she wants,and then at home let her pick-out
the spot to put it in,even if it's not the bathroom go with the flow.
if you want and can afford it let her pick a couple of pottys and that way she'll have one in the bathroom,and when you, go to the potty,take her and let her sit on her potty and play a game with it.
and if you have more then one she can do her spot and the other
in the bathroom.with my 2nd girl,when i would go or her sister,
she always wanted to be on hers and finally she did her job and she love it when we told her she you can do it on your potty,good girl ,and we say other happy stuff and clap our hands and she loved that..so,i think we did have something to do in helping her
out ,but she's is the one that let us know when she was ready..
good=luck with it and have fun with it as well.
but remember don't push her it to it,help her and she'll help you..

Answer 2

Honestly, there is no perfect time for potty training. All children are different. Some can be potty trained as early as 18 months and some not until 4. If your child shows interest in using the potty, that yes, try her on it. Don't be forceful and always reward her for using the potty. You can give her a fun sticker every time she uses the potty. And make sure to praise her for it too. Ask her frequently if she has to go potty. I found that the summer time was the easiest time to potty train my boys, but I was lucky enough to have hardwood floors. I stripped them butt-naked and let them go. This was only after they had used the potty a few times first though, you don't want to start this way, or you will have a lot of cleaning up to do!!!

Good luck!!!

Answer 3

Every child is different but I found by two it is time. I have three boys. No girls but potty training is just that. Take her with you when you go. Take turns. Use awards. Make the big deal of it. I eventually just put the real underwear on my boys and made a spectacle of it. There comes a time when they know what to do and they become comfortable the way things are and begin to hide upon having to go. Or they will come to you and tell you after they have gone so they can get it off. That is truly a sign of them being ready because they are aware it shouldn't be there. That is when I put the real ones on and ran them to the potty every hour or so (depending on diet) and cut the drinks off at a reasonable time in the night hours. Pull ups are OK at night for a while until you see they are dry in the mornings and you praise them and let them know they do not need them anymore. They WILL have a few mishaps with the real under-ware. When they start to realize that it is not the same as a diaper or pull up and the way it feels because there is no protection then the cycle will break.
Good Luck!

Answer 4

It's much easier to "hold on" to a full rectum than it is to a full bladder, and your child will probably achieve bowel control first. Because of this it's sensible to help your child use the potty for bowel movements first. It's also sensible from your point of view because bowel movements are more predictable, so you can prepare for them on your child's behalf. When your child makes her special movements or sounds, suggest that she use the potty. Make things easier by deliberately leaving off any clothes or nappies so that nothing hinders her getting on to the potty in time.

After she's been on the potty, wipe her bottom (front to back in girls) with some toilet paper. Put the wipes in the potty and flush the whole lot down the lavatory. Remove any trace of faeces and rinse out the potty, then wash it with disinfectant.

Never force your child to sit on the potty. It will have the reverse effect, so that when you next suggest that she use it you'll be faced with a point-blank refusal or even a tantrum. Instead, just forget about the potty for a few days and then re-introduce it in a casual way.

Answer 5

The summer is always the best time to potty train and they are ready to do this at the age of two. All four of my kids trained in the summer and all were 2 or approaching second birthday.

Answer 7

Actually I have an August baby, among others, but the Christmas before he turned 2 we bought the potty seat and just put it in the bathroom. We always did this with al 4 kids, just let them express an interest and there it is. He spent a lot of time just sitting on his potty while the rest of us used the regular toilet. During the summer I like to let them go either with no diaper or regular underpants. I have learned that they are much more likely to wet themselves when they have a barrier there. Anyway i like to keep the potty handy, in other words if your going to be in the livingroom and your only bathroom is upstairs then keep the potty in the living room and keep reminding her that it is there, no pressure. i think pull-ups are great for night accidents but they are a diaper and I think it makes it harder to get them to go on the toilet, not easier. Just remember, no one goes to kindergarten with a diaper and she'll get the hang of it.. I think there is nothing wrong with getting the potty chair now though.

Answer 8

girls are easier than boys to train. My daughter was potty trained at 1 year. Just put her on the potty as soon as she wakes up. Give her an incentive to go. I would only give my children skittles when they went. I would take them in the bathroom with me and say ok, now you have to go potty and then I will give you these skittles, and it worked. Now is a very good time to start training.

Answer 9

I would say yes. Only your daughter can tell you for sure. My son was a late potty trained child. I finally would offer him 1 or 2 M&Ms if he would "make" in the toilet. The doctor gave me the idea. He was potty trained in record time!

Good LUCK!

Answer 10

your daughter will tell you when she's ready-trying to force her will only result in frustrating not only her but you too!!

signs of readiness are:
-she show interest in the potty (wanting to use it,asking what it's for)
-she is staying dry overnight or during naps
-she no longer wants to wear her diapers

each child is different in how soon they train and what works best. i have 3 girls and they all trained at different times and i had to use different methods.

be patient during this process-there were days when i felt like i was doing something wrong and my kid was going to be in diapers forever!! but it worked out just fine-my girls are now 4,5,and 7 and what a great feeling it is to not have those diapers around anymore!!

try introducing the potty to her and see how she reacts-if she shows interest-then you can start slowly training her. get her a toddler potty just for her use-the big toilet is hard for little ones to use b/c it sits so high above the ground and the space between the water and their butt frightens little ones-they feel like they're going to fall in!!

good luck

Answer 11

Summer is a great time to potty train because kids tend to spend more time playing outdoors so the little accidents don't end up all over your carpets! Also it is easier to get the extra clothing dry. If she doesn't seem interested wait a bit longer. Good luck!xx
