Answer 1

Actually, you can't "potty train" a child. It all depend on his/her body. You can't force them to go on command because their muscles aren't developed like adults. You just have to wait until they're ready. I know .. I take a psych class.

Answer 2

She sees baby brother getting attention, even if it is just for a diaper change. The way she sees it, she has the best of both worlds. Attention and big girl privileges. The best solution I have ever had when "potty training" was when working as a nanny for a 3yr old and 1 yr old. I had to really push the big kid, baby thing. If he wants to act like a baby we let him. But we stayed strict to it. Naps when the baby goes, bed time when the baby goes, only playing on playgrounds and with toys that the baby does that means no stickers. Even eating the same food. After fighting for 8 months we tried this method and needless to say, he was potty trained in under two weeks. The hardest part...You just can't slack off no matter how easy it is for you.

Answer 3

Just be patient she will go potty when she is ready. Having a younger brother might be keeping her from training to 'stay a baby'. Continue to encourage her to go potty. We made a big fuss over how yucky changing poopy diapers were and that seemed to get to him, eventually... but he ultimately made up his own mind and one day said "I'm going potty now" he has been great ever since. by the time they get to 3 ish that understand what the urge means. Give her a little time it sounds like she is almost there. Patience :o) Good luck

I'm a mother who never wanna put pressure on my kids. So while other mommies are busy trying to toilet train their toddlers, I do it at my own pace. I started letting my kids sit on a potty each time they had finished drinking their juice or milk. They were abt 18-20 mths then. I will sit with them and try ask if they wanna pee. Sometimes we'd sit for almost 30 mins and still no pee. When there's no pee, i'll put back the diapers on. And by a month's time, sitting on their potty (pee or no pee) were already their rountine each time they finish drinking. They soon learn that if they wanna pee or sometimes poo, they'll go straight to the potty. But sometimes, "accidents" do happen... hehehehehehehe. Never scold them or they never wanna pee or poo in the potty again. They'd rather wear diapers. And there goes our effort. Hope this helps :D

Hi

There is no such thing as potty trained they will go to the toilet when they are ready - My daughter is now 4 i had been trying to get her to use the potty since she was one i put her in knickers and just encouraged her to use it ( give ice cream or lollies every time she went ) and then she ended just being used to going that she didnt want treats any more

Answer 6

Sounds as if she's not quite ready. If you can, continue to encourage her, but kind of put it on the back burner and don't worry about it. Try again in a few months or let her take the lead. All kids are different and your daughter is within the perfectly normal range to not be ready.

Answer 7

Put her in pull ups. She will get to it eventually. I tried with my son forever. He was about 31/2 before he did it.Finally i gave up and he did it himself. Sometimes we put too much pressure on them to do it. It has the opposite effect. If you still want to try put her on the potty with a book ar small toy till she goes. Good Luck!!

You wait until the child is ready to be potty trained, obviously she wasn't ready at two and all you've done since then is torture the poor child.
