Answer 1

do you use a potty chair or the actual toliet maybe it is just too overwhelming for her. My nephew was scared of the toliet because of the flushing so they got him a little potty chair and it worked great.

Answer 2

My potty training advice: it is best in these situations to wait a little longer until your child is more mature. Do not force potty training. Some children are not as physically or developmentally ready to receive and interpret the same signals that tell the rest of us, "It's time to go to the bathroom." While some receive the signal, their muscles may not be able to "hold it" until a potty is available.

Encourage her to be in the bathroom with you and never make your child feel as if the bathroom is a "secretive" place where strange things happen. Try and make the bathroom a "fun" place, so she won't be so scared.

My friend's toddler was using the real toilet and accidentally dropped the lid on his penis (ouch!). He refused to go back to the bathroom for the longest time because he was so scared! Maybe something happened with your daughter that really frighten her. Try to talk to her about it.

I bribed my son to use the potty. Every time he went or tried to go, I'd put a sticker on a chart. After so many stickers, he would get a treat or surprised. He loved this. And it worked.

It will happen for your daughter too.

Ok here goes, I have helped my sister potty train 4 2 of those being twins, I am now doing the same with my son who is not quite 2 and I am also pg and understand your problem. The way we are and have done it is to make potty fun now I know this sounds really strange and all but it works. We tried to get the kids used to the potty chair before we started by sitting them on it fully clothed while we went on ours. Now I know that sounds strange but it helped my son ten fold. Then you get a special toy that they can only play with while they are on the potty if she dosnt sit she dosnt get it. You can reward her with a piece of candy or a special treat of some kind when she dose it. Just think like a child, and it usually works. The hardest one to train was my sisters oldest and we eventually had to go with the cheerios in the bottem of the pot to get him to pee, it was "target practice". Anyway hope this helps in any way. Just remember it cant get any worse then it is already!!!

Answer 4

Here's a tip that I used with my older son about 24 years ago---it might work for you. Don't sit your daughter on the toilet the regular way---put her on their backwards. My older son was fearful, I think, of falling in or off of the toilet. When he faced towards the tank, he was less fearful, and more secure for some reason. After doing this for awhile, he got used to it and began sitting on the toilet the normal way, plus he was taller and able to stand while urinating like a "big boy."

Also, have you sat down and talked to her (when she's not on the potty) and just asked her why it frightens her? If you ask her when she is not in panic-mode, you might get to the root of the problem and work on her fears (she is still a baby, afterall. And when you are only 2, lots of things are new and scarey!)

Good luck!

Answer 6

For both of my girls, I let them run around naked, which was easier when they felt the urge. Also my youngest is still not pooping on the potty so she gets "potty treats", I give her m&m's because she doesn't normally get them. Also let her go to the store with you and pick out some big girl underwear and tell her not to get them dirty. Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Somethimes childern are afraid of things irrationally. Try sitting down and asking her why she dosn't like the potty chair. Also try using examples like big kids go to the bathroom not in their pants. You need to make it clear that it is not alright.

Answer 8

my nephew is also 2 and being potty trained, when he comees to stay with me i put "big boy" underwear on him, when he goes to the potty i tell him what a good job he did then he gets tp picka movie, cartoon, candy........ something fun or tasty for being a "big boy". if he does use his underwear he still doesn't get in trouble, i just tell him "you know what that means... no candy today" wearing the underwear makes him feel more obligated to use the potty, so he usually does. you should try going in there with her or sitting with her to show her it's ok. (if she has a smaller training seat.)

Answer 9

have her wear her plain old undies. if she doesn't like it in the pull-up chances are if she gets wet a few times she will decide on her own to use the potty. good luck cause it took me till my son was 3 and a half to use the potty. ugh truly wish you luck. happy holidays=)

Answer 10

i don't know if this will help, but the way we're doing it is whenever we go potty, we have our daughter sit down on her little potty...she loves to go in it...and she's pretty good at telling us when she has to go...
maybe if you went with her...kinda made it a mommy/daughter thing?
afterwards, we cheer and clap for her (even if she didn't go) and give her a treat...it seems to be working for her...
she loves to flush our toilet afterward and then wash her hands...like a grownup...
