My daughter just turned 2 last month. I have tried to get her to use the potty by taking her in there when I go to the bathroom, before she gets a bath, I have even tried moving her potty in the living room where it is closer. When I ask her if she needs to go pee-pee her reply is NOOOO! Is she just no ready yet? What are the signs when she is ready? My son who is now 6 started at 17months so I was wondering if its ok that she doesnt want to do it yet? The other day I also bought a Dora soft seat she likes it and even puts it on the toilet and says go pee-pee but she wont use it yet.

She isn't ready yet. Remember 2 is very young to potty train. I know it is exciting for you, but if you want to avoid the stress and keep from causing diversions, you need to leave it alone for awhile. I had this same issue with my son. I put all potty chairs and seats away and tried about 1 or 2 times only per month, and when he was ready I knew. Also, he didn't like potty seats - just sittin on the regular seat was more exciting to him. I had to assist him at first but now he does it all on his own. Remember, every child is different, your first child was a very early potty user!! When she decides she is ready, I suggest no pull-ups!!!!! They feel just like a diaper, so whats to stop them from going in them. They didn't have them when we were potty trained, why do we think we need to use them. Easy, No, more like lazy. Just buy a lot of training pants, and a lot of jeans, and wash a load of soiled every day. Accidents get less and less, you did this once you can do it again!! Don't worry, don't stress her out about it, she won't wear diapers forever!! You are doing great!!!!!

Hi Daisy:
Does your daughter go to daycare? Mine does and she sees the "big kids" using the potty and she is just now getting into it. She's 26 months and she will pee in the potty (this just started happening over the weekend.). No poop yet. I never push her into using the potty. After I take off her diaper to change her I just ask "do you want to use the potty" and she says yes or no. I respect that. Toddlers are learning control over their own bodily functions. They need space so that they can figure out how it works; they have a newfound independence and that goes hand in hand with toilet training and the feeling of control that they are working so hard to obtain at their stage in life. Take it easy. She'll get there.

My daughter is turning 2 this week. I have slowly been getting her used to using training underwear and learning when to tell me she has gone. It takes time and it's not an easy thing to learn. Get the book Potty Training 1-2-3 by Gary Ezzmo & Anne Ezzo. It's tells you what to look for and explains what goes into using the muscles to even go potty. But don't rush it or it will be a nightmare.

i began out guidance my 2yr previous daughter a month in the past. It became puzzling, yet you incredibly might desire to have staying power, besides the shown fact that it incredibly is greater good for me reason i'm 6 a million/2months pregnant now besides the shown fact that it is okay. i began out with the aid of sitting her on the potty for greater or less 30 min. no remember if she peed or not. If she did pee, i might clap my palms and tell her that she is a vast female, so she might comprehend that peeing interior the potty became what i wanted her to do. Then i offered some pull united statesand saved attempting however the each hour sitting on the potty wasn't working. So, I enable her walk around the homestead without pamper or pull up. i might examine her physique language to work out if she became performing like she had to pee. So, then i might get her until now she peed and positioned her on the potty and he or she saved doing it. i think of it incredibly is distinctive for each infant besides the shown fact that it worked that way for me, she would be ready to nevertheless pee in her pull up if we are out for the day, yet it incredibly is as a results of the fact I basically have her potty knowledgeable at homestead, so i think of it incredibly takes time. good success!!!

I would say she is just not ready yet. 2 is still young give her a few months and don't pressure her. She will let you know when she is ready. My daughter was 26 months when she was potty trained.

She is not ready. The more you push, the harder it will be. Never move a potty chair anywhere but in the bathroom. The soft seat is better.

2 is too young to potty train. Wait for 6 more months and try again.
Just remember that till now NO child has gone to kindergarten in diapers and don't think your s will be the first one in history :)
So, take it easy. Try after 6 months.

She is probably just not ready. My daughter took longer also. We ended up making a game out of it, but it took a while. Everyone told me they all have their own pace and it's better to work on their time.

She's not ready. Give her time, she will be eventually.
