I started to potty train my girl she started well now she wees over floor an wont use the potty or loo.?

Question

I am at the end of my tether ot's driving me mad, she is 2 in 2 weeks, after she has done it she tells me, what do i do??

Answer 1

Give her a wee break for now, at under two she's still quite young for potty training. She'll pick it up again no bother when she's a little older say 27 months (which paeditricians say is the optimum age)

Answer 2

There is nothing to worry about, but you must keep your calm and be patient. I believe she is the right age for potty training and i had my kids trained by age 2. No reason to think she would have a urinary infection as someone else suggested. If it hurts her to wee, you would know!

Really really praise her if she uses the potty, but dont get mad if she wees on the floor. When she tells you and it is on the floor, just say big girls go on the potty or loo. Let her see you go on the loo. Put her on the potty every hour and hope she goes so that you can praise her! Go over the top with praise.

If you go out and are worried about car seats or buggies, put a folded towel underneath her, but whatever you do dont put her back in nappies - only for bedtime or naptime. Then take nappy off immediately after bed or nap and put her on potty straightaway.If she wees, praise, praise praise! If not, just be nice and calm. Losing your temper will get you nowhere with this. Remember potty training is one thing where the child gets nothing from it, really.

There will always be accidents and set-backs, but dont set up your will against hers over this. 2 year olds are very wilful and it could be a battleground. Its not worth it. In my opinion, its worth striving to get her trained now before Christmas. She knows what she's doing cos she can tell you, andchildren of that age, especially girls, DO have the control.

Its not easy being a mum, but perservere CALMLY at this and you will succeed.

Answer 3

Do you know any grown up who wees on the floor? No, so she will outgrow it. She is very young. The fact that you are getting mad about it makes her nervous and that is why she is not doing it right. Stop being anxious, let her alone, make it look like a happy play, and she'll get it eventually. When she tells you she did it don't show disappointment, encourage her, have the potty near her, let her sit on it, and she will get better at it. If you get mad when she does it on the floor, she will do it for a long while more.

Answer 4

She is quite young to be starting apparently kids are only able to control their muscles for going to the loo at about 18 months. My daughter is 2 and a half and potty training now and she is getting the hang of it, but there have been lots of accidents along the way and the odd day she might have an accident. It is hard, but maybe she is just not ready yet, i tried my daughter at 2 and she didnt take to it at all.

Answer 5

Try not to get angry with her when she does it on the floor,keep asking her "do you need a wee" and have the potty nearby at all times. When she does manage to wee in the potty,praise her, clap your hands tell her what a big girl she is. You probably already do all these things, but that's what worked for me! Good luck.

Answer 6

keep on to her when she is in the room saying dont wet them knickers and every time she goes on the potty shout and clap her, phone somone up and tell them anthing to make her feel really good, or make a sticker chart tell her everytime she uses the potty she will get a sticker three stickers and she gets a treat.make a big fuss,she is getting you atention by weeing on the floor make it more posative to wee in the potty,make sure the potty is in a place whare she can see it at all times get two or three ,stay at home as much as possible for a while if you can. good luck make weeing fun for her......

Answer 7

you probably gave her lots of attention and help when you started the training and now you expect her to just get on with it. it wont happen. she needs to attention and help if you want her to succeed.
dont get mad with her when she has an accident as it doesnt help and will just make her more anxious about it. make sure you take her to the potty or toilet every hour or so, and remind her as she will forget if engrossed in playing or watching tv.
remember when you go out to take her before you leave the house and when you get to the supermarket or wherever you are going.
give her lots of over the top praise when she uses the potty,and just a 'never mind' when she has an accident, clean her up and carry on.
a sticker chart helps, and can be used to gain a reward at the end of the week.( mine are just A4 paper with their names in bubble writing, that i let them colour in themselves) i also have a small jar with dolly mixture sweets in and my little ones can choose a sticker and take one sweet from the jar when they have eaten all their dinner nicely, slept through the night and used the potty. they love putting their stickers on their charts.and at the end of the week, if they have done really well and got lots of stickers they get to choose a book (only about £1 each).
mine also loved choosing their own undies to buy nad choose which they want to wear each day.
keep going and keep patient, she ll get there in the end

Answer 8

My advise, chill out about it. Don't make a big deal out of it clear it up, say oops never mind we'll try again next time. She's very young to potty train so be thankful that she is even aware when she has gone already. One of those things that really just comes with time and patience.

Answer 9

shes not ready yet-give her a break from it for a week or so then try again..every hour or so sit her on the potty and make a big fuss if she goes...the best tip i got for potty training was when you take them out of nappies in the day dont put one on for bed...it gives them mixed messages and takes longer to train. i did this with my 3 boys and it worked, non of them ever had accidents in the night fro the word go- i hope thats helpful-in no way do i claim to be the perfect mum-believe me ,i not! but that worked for us :-)now i just need a way to train my 15yr old to put his clothes in the washbox!!

Answer 10

Stay calm, Mom. She'll get there... in her own time. Please don't force her to be as good at it as you.... expect it to be like this for a while. This happened to me when my hubby was gone for a month and a half... my son mastered using the potty. I told my hubby how proud I was and all. The moment he comes home... my son acted like he never ever used the potty. We just laughed it off... he is using the regular toilet now- at 4. I'm glad we never made him feel bad or scolded him. I knew he was gonna get there, because my older son was the same.
