What is the best method of potty training...?

Question

I'm having trouble potty training my 2 yr old. Sometimes she will go...and other times she refuses to use the toilet. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Don't ever push them. That's the worst thing you could do when it comes to potty training. The more you push, the more they regress making the process much longer. Let her do it when she wants, and step back when she doesn't. If she feels pressured she'll stop doing it altogether. It just takes patience :-)

Answer 2

I bought the plain potty no music. Then i introduced her and sat it in front of the big potty. when mommy went in and sat she would go to and get to sit on her big girl potty. Then she lost interest for about 7 months then came to me a week ago and said mommy.. potty now... i took her in and sure enough she went potty and we clapped and danced. now she wears cute big girl pants that she wanted so badly! haha Patience and letting nature take its course! good luck by the way my daughter is 2 as well.... Always let her potty when shes ready its easier on the both of you

Answer 3

My son is 2 and we are trying to potty train too. I just ask him frequently if he needs to go. When he does go I make a big deal about it. I clap and dance and tell him he's a big boy.

Answer 4

ah yes the potty ups and downs is hard as you keep trying she will get it right and you will be so proude

Answer 5

Don't get too anxious, They will go on their own time.My son is almost 4 and he still wets the bed. I go through a lot of pullups. Don't worry... the time will come... keep your chin up :)

Answer 6

Give it time. Sounds like she is doing great for her age. You might want to try big girl panties. She might want to keep them clean if she loves them.

Answer 7

don't push, when she goes, say "Potty" and when she is done, give her a jellybean or something
