Any tips on beginning potty training for a little girl?

Question

She is showing signs that she knows when she has to go by squatting and she grabs at her diaper when wet.

Answer 1

i sat my gal on the potty every 60 mins for maybe 5 minutes each time,we had our sticker chart for when she did do something on the potty,what finally did it for us was i kept her naked one day except for a long tee shirt,kept filling her with fluids and kept her potty chair near by and by the end of the day she had it figured out

Answer 2

when we notice our daughter doing the pp dance or squatting we ask her if she has to go, which I'm sure you do to. if we see her we take her and put her on the pot, it was/is hit or miss.
we also stop using the a diapers, we us pull ups and regular underwear, we call them big girl panties, we have let her run around naked telling she cant pee on the floor (our daughter listens pretty well for a toodler,(sorry not trying to brag hate those parents) When you go bring her with you tell her what you are doing, learn by example...
we've tried rewarding her with mm's if she goes on the pott.
we cheer and clap when she does and we dont get mad at her if she has an accident. these are some of the things we do
hope it helps
no matter what every child is different yours will get it in her own time, good luck

My daughter was 21 months when she started to show the signs. We got potty books. Once Upon a Potty was her fav to read. Then we bought a training chair-something simple with no distractions-its bathroom time and not play time. Make it a routine and stick with it every day. Never put her down or talk negitive to her. Stay positive and its ok to bribe with tootsie rolls. :) Good luck.

Answer 4

When I started feeling like my daughter was ready, I took a few days off from work, bought her a big orange soda (not something I generally allow, but I knew she'd drink it!), stripped her naked, and sat the potty chair in front of a Barney video. She was completely dry and off of diapers by the time I went back to work 5 days later.

Answer 5

when my daughter was about a yr old she did the same thing i thought how wonderful so i started to train her and all it did was wear me out ... i asked my dr about it and she told me this trick kids will go to the potty when they are for sure ready and only then she said to many people rush it so here is what she told me to do put her potty chair in the room you are usually in the most and when she is ready she will use it on her own my daughter was almost 2 but one morning she got up and said potty went to her chair and used it and that was it done.... good luck

Answer 6

What I did with my daughter when she was 2 was put her on her potty chair in the living room in front of the tv and gave her her sippy cup with fruit flavored carbonated water so she thought she was drinking coke. So it was something that she wanted and she just kept drinking and drinking. So eventually she just went and as soon as she did, I threw a "party" for her. I got out confetti, party hats and gave her a wrapped gift (all stuff I bought at the dollar store). She was so pleased with herself, that she caught on quickly and just started going!

Answer 7

sit her in the potty and let her try it out if she goes is a good time to start potty training

Answer 8

Go ahead and buy her some big girl panties with Barbie or some other well liked figure on them. Tell her she doesn't want to get barbie dirty and she will soon learn.

Answer 9

just take it one step @ a time, dont push her. She'll go on her own time. take her with you so she can see how things are done, i just made sure that i covered up.( not ready for any more questions )
