I will put her on the toilet every ten minutes and she doesn't go, but it seems like every time, about 1 hour into this routine, she'll go in her pull-up as soon as she gets off the toilet. I would really appreciate some input as to what may work. Thank you!

I would stop using pull-ups and put her in underwear (except at nap and nightime). Yes, she will go in her pants and you will have to clean it up. But after a few days, she will more than likely start trying to get to the potty. My youngest daughter was very stubborn when it came to potty training. I tried this as a last resort and she was trained within 2-3 days. I kept lots of clean clothes and underwear close by, expected to give her lots of baths, and layed old blankets on the couch, etc. I'd still keep pull-ups on her when you go shopping, etc. until she can learn to hold it and give you enough warning to make it to a public restroom.It really does work..Good Luck!

Hi there first let me say I'm so happy you are experiencing the joy of motherhood....I had two children and that was many years ago. Those training years can be stressful....looking back I can remember going through what you are doing and I found that this helped. After we had a meal like maybe 20 minutes....I'd take a couple children's books into the bathroom and she would sit on her potty chair. I'd use the big toilet at the same time. Just by us going in there together she caught on and we were both relaxed. Also sometimes if you turn on the water faucet in the sink it will stimulate them to go. Each child grows at different speeds mentally when it comes to understanding what they are doing ...and why? Try not to get upset because it only makes it worse. One thing to do when she uses the toilet is to "praise her" tell her what a great girl she is..make a big deal over it. Then they get the hang of it. It's a natural function but for some little ones it takes longer for them to understand what is happening. Believe me she is going to grow up fast so enjoy every moment with her. Best wishes for the new year ...Mama jazzy Geri I just read the previous person's reply about a little scolding if she wets her pants ...i disagree ...she is too young to understand...make the connection. It is time consuming but part of being the parent.

SHe may not be ready. I have a son the same age and hes afraid so I am just waiting. When they start telling you they need a diaper change..its time. Do you have a small potty? the ones they can sit down on the floor? With my daughter..after she goes even if she did nothing..clap and be really excieted about going potty and then go tell someone..like your husband or boyfriend. Or call Grandma on the phone and tell her what a BIG GIRL she is. You have to make it seem fun. If she goes on the floor or in her pants dont get mad at her or it will never happen. ALso find silk panties and have her wear them as big girl panties..when they get wet...they feel cold and nasty and that will motivate her to use the potty

Work out a reward system with something she will really like.
My son didn't mind peeing in the potty, but he hated pooping in it. I instituted a 'sticker regimen' where he got to put stickers on the calendar for every time he peed OR pooped in the potty. He loved the stickers.
Also, you might want to take your little one out of the pull-ups. Since they are big and absorbant like diapers, some children really don't understand (or care about ) the difference between a diaper and a pull up. If she has 'big girl unders' on, she may decide she doesn't want to mess them and will use the commode. A 'cold turkey' approach coupled w/ a bunch of positive reinforcement (aka bribery w/ stickers) is what worked for my 3.
Good luck!!!

give your daughter plenty of praise and when she does have an accident in her pull-ups dont get angry but do let her know that she mut use the toilet..
keep telling her that she is a big girl now and that all big girls use the toilet..let her fiddle on the toilet if she is on the toilet for 20min who cares if it worgive her a little treat every so often but not everytime she uses the toilet only sometimes this way she will keep using the toilet so she can get a treat..
it worked with my little sister..and she was 2..

I also do the same thing but mine loves to flush! The process for us is I ask him if he has to go potty? and he says Yes, Potty. (I know it's the flush thing) Anyway, I put him on the toilet and I tell him ok... go tinkle ... time passes and then Are you finished? of course No... As he is trying to flush while sitting on the toilet and I tell him he has to tinkle before he flushes. Anyway, after doing this for weeks finally I got 3 to 4 drops YEAH! I just keep repeating, repeating and repeating and of course give him lots of water and juice.
I have even done the .... mommy has to potty while he is in there and I have said go watch daddy (anyway to annoy my hubby lol) Of course my hubby gives the technical side, and boy did our son show him ... wanted to stand just like daddy so he pee'd on the tile in the bathroom right in front of him. lmao

Reward her when she does tinkle in the potty. Give slight scold is she tinkles on her pull up. Keep taking her often to catch it by chance. Take her with you when you go so she'll have an example to go by.
I know its exhausting but keep it up and she'll catch on.
Good luck
