Grrrrrrr potty training............?

Question

This is my 3rd time back here looking for potty training advice. I've been trying to train my 3 1/2 yr old daughter for a year. She goes to preschool every morning wearing panties and has no accidents there. Then she gets home and it all goes out the window. I try leaving her in panties when she gets home, and I even set a timer for her(every 90 min.)and she knows when it goes off she MUST take a "potty break", but she inevitably has accident after accident, so I wind up putting her back into pull-ups at home(which I know I shouldn't do, but my carpets and I can only take so much)and every time she wets herself in them she comes running to me asking to be changed. I know she can tell the difference between wet and dry and can use the potty on her own, as shown at school and occassionally at home. I've gone back to using sticker charts because it worked to begin with and seems to be working again, but she is still having several accidents a day. I am so frustrated!!!! HELP!!!!

Answer 1

i potty trained my daughter with nail polish. for every day she stayed dry all day i painted one toenail, when she had them all painted i told her she could go and buy her own nail polish and paint her nails whenever she wanted and it only took 10 days and she never had an accident.

It sounds as though she may crave the attention of being changed. I think that positive attention toward potty training can easily replace that. Potty training works well at school because of her peers. Also because she won't get the same nurturing at school for having an accident in her panties.

Try these things. Let your daughter choose new 'big girl panties'. Make a big deal about the purchase of new big girl panties that she won't 'ruin'. She can pick some with her favorite characters or colors. This gives her a sense of responsibility and pride. (My daughter actually told people [even strangers] that she was wearing 'big girl' panties and you may notice little girls showing each other their panties.)

Next, prepare for nonstop celebrations. Set aside time at home with party supplies like noise makers. Choose some things that you know your daughter likes such as confetti or balloons. Spend time together just allowing her to eat popsicles and drink fluids wearing just underwear on the bottom. This makes it easier. Discuss the urge to use the potty. There are some great books and movies starring Sesame Street characters that you can share with her while you wait for her to need to use the bathroom. When she uses the potty start the celebration. Practically have a parade! Make a big deal about it. For her it may mean calling grandparents. Whatever it takes. Then settle down again and continue this until she gets more and more used to it until the celebrations become minimal and then no longer necessary.

One thing you can try prior to celebrating with your daughter is to pretend that a favorite doll or stuffed animal has gone potty and celebrate for the toy first. We had a Betsy Wetsy doll.

All of this may sound strange at first, but I can testify to results. This whole process should not take longer than a weekend.

Best of luck to you and have fun!!

Answer 3

Ask her preschool what they do that she don't have any accidents over there. Could be her every 90 minutes thing that has her thinking at home "well i gotta potty but the timer hasn't gone off yet so i have to try to wait?"

Answer 4

If she is having no accidents at school, I would say she probably doesnt have any physical problems. Maybe it is for attention. I'm not going to analyze it. Here is my suggestion & worked for me many times. You may think its gross, but hey its worth a try.

---Take her bottoms off, let her go about doing her normal things. If she pees its going to be noticeable to her. Its not going to be sucked up in a "pull up", or soaked into undies, or pants. She is going to see it running down her leg---& NOT LIKE IT! If you have tile in the kitchen, somewhere for easy cleaning-not carpet! Try it. I did this only a couple days w/ my kids all at 2 years old & trained right away.
---You can also try rewards, have a glass filled w/ treats, go pee, poop on the potty, you get to pick a treat.
---Or ask your Dr.
GOOD LUCK!

Answer 5

have you spoken to the people at school to see what it is that they are doing? Have you spoken to your daughter and told her that it is time for her to use the toilet ALL the time. Not just at school, but at home too. Use the same type of potty and stop with the pull-ups. Use rubber pants and training underwear.

Answer 6

I didnt have any problems potty training my son but it is different than training a girl. I wish you the best of luck and it sounds like the sticker training will get you going again. I would just stick to it.
