My daughter is almost 18mths and likes to take off her diaper. I know she is semi ready to be potty trained, but she don't listen to the simplist of task, let alone telling her about the potty. Are there any suggestions on how I can get her to start using the pot and listen to me about it? Please help! Concerned mommie.

I know it sounds bad but I bribed my son into potty training with candy and money about the same age. He still to this day won't listen to me about anything. All he understood was he got a treat when he went in the potty and none when he went in his diaper and it worked. I am doing the same with my youngest now and its working again just fine. I'm not saying its right or wrong but thats how I got it done the first time and now its working again. I hope this could help you some good luck.

The diaper is uncomfortable for her. I would go ahead and start potty training. Sometimes it takes a while. Don't worry about the length of time it takes. Just be sure once you begin potty training, always be consistent. When you set out the potty chair, have your daughter with you and be really excited. Take her hand and walk her to the potty each time she goes. You could try having her sit on the potty every 30 to 60 minutes. Every time she goes in the potty really make a big deal of it. Clap and yell YEAH! If she does not go in the potty for a time, don't get impatient. You have begun a new routine for her. You can do it. The rest of us have.

I'm going through the same thing!! My daughter can take off her diaper, sit on the potty, wipe, everything but pee!! I'm waiting until spring, when we can be outside, and learn to use the potty. If you try to early they just pee all over the house, and you need a few weeks, and I'm sure at this point in your life, potty training should wait. Enjoy your new baby, let your other child settle into the big sister role. When life starts to calm down, start, until then buy cheap diapers, change them often, and the shirts with snaps WORKS!!!

Don't use extra types of tape, this young they can develop an allergy to the adhesive that will stick with them for life! If your house is warm enough, bring the potty into the family room and let her be naked for a day, but lead her to the potty every 10-15 minutes or so. Then use a reward system (stickers, M&M's, etc) every time she goes. If she really has no interest in potty training, you could try pull-ups. They can't just yank them off. Also, don't let it be an attention-getter. If she gets tons of attention from you by pulling off the diaper (good or bad attention) she will continue to do it. Good luck

Every child like to take off their pamper at some point. This maybe one of the sign's of readiness amoung others. Do she know what the potty is for and can she sit on it or tell you Pee Pee. Do she go to you after she has done her business and ask you to change her, If not just be patient she will let you know when she is ready. In the mean time you can try this, every time you have to use yourself to pee let her come into the bathroom with you and let her flush the toilet herself. This might drum up some interest in her to use the potty.

After raising 6 children of my own and countless others I found that once a child is read to begin toilet training putting them in cotton training pants (works best, they don't like to feel wet). If an accident occurs change them right off so they get the idea that being dry is the goal. (Have many pairs of training pants!) Putting them on the toilet at regular interval during the day helps them to get used to the idea of going to the bathroom. Each time they go, "even a drop" I gave them either a goldfish cracker or M&M as a reward. (Just 1 treat). Eventually they begin to associate the treat with the job done and are more that willing to repeat the process!
Good Luck!

She may be to young to grasp the concept of the potty just yet. The suggestion I have is to put her diapers in backwards so she can not get them off or pull ups that do not come apart on the sides.

just put her on the pot once every 45 min or so. this will help her get ready. she takes off her diaper because that is her way of showing you she is a "big girl" and she wants underware. when she wets herself and has nothing to soak it up she wont like that feeling and she shouldn't be that hard to train.

You could put her diapers on backwards you just have to change her more often. Or buy her easy ups or regular training pants, white cloud ones work better then name brand and they are cheaper but they only sell that kind at Walmart.

With my son, we used a reward system. Nothing crazy...just stickers. Find something that your daughter likes and have that as an incentive. With my son he got a sticker each time he sat on the potty. He started to get excited about it and he loved to see us be happy and excited with him. good luck!
