I need help with a child who is resisting to be potty trained?

Answer 1

Give it a total break for several days. Don't mention it at all. Then start over.

Answer 2

I know it is hard and can be frustrating. My oldest was hardly a problem but my youngest who is 4 now was very difficult. We tried everything from pull-ups, bribes, my boyfriend showing him how "big boys" go to the bathroom and nothing seemed to work. Then one day we were watching TV and he got up and I asked where he was going and he said he had to go potty. I was so happy, I felt like throwing him a party. About a month after he was fully potty trained. My advice is not to force them and keep trying new ideas and ones that have been kind of working and eventually they will become potty trained.

Answer 3

I have a similar dilemma. My daughter wont sit on her potty. Ive been keeping underwear on her because ive heard that will help them to understand but she just pees or poops in them and asks me to put a diaper.

Ive read that If they are asking for a diaper, put one on them. All you can do is guide them but you really cant force it. Its a milestone that will happen but every child is ready at different stages. Maybe buy a book about potty training (a childrens picture book). Take them to the bathroom when you go and let them read the book while sitting on the potty. Ask every so often if they want to sit on the potty. Basically just educate them. I also read that it might help to buy those dolls that wet, and ask them to teach their doll to go on the potty. Basically just educate and like i said guide them through and they will eventually do it when theyre ready.

Answer 4

you dont say how old the child is... but the one thing i would say is do not push him/her into something they dont feel ready for, dont make a big fuss of it, just keep the nappies for a couple weeks then give it another go, keep the potty in view all the time so he/she gets used to it, and if you have friends with children that go potty, invite them over so your child can see other children doing it, sometimes it help when their friends do something, they see it as ok...

dont get too frustrated over it, he/she WILL be potty trained, but only when he/she is ready... just relax, dont worry what " everyone else's kid" is doing and encourage your child all you can, talk about the potty, get a story book about potty's.. but dont force them to sit for hours on it, or stay in wet clothes, it just makes them anxious

Answer 5

Don't rush them it will happen when they are ready. All too often kids get rushed and those are the ones who wet the bed.. My son is 4.5 he didn't sto[p wearing diapers to bed till he was over 3 but he has never wet the bed. He made the decision to stop wearing diapers there was no stress on him.

I also have a 3 yr old. He turned 3 Oct. '06 He is potty trained all day but still wets his diaper at night. I am not stressing me or him out about it. It will happen

Answer 6

If the child is over 21/2 he is probably so used to going in his pants you have two issues to deal with. If the child is under the age of two , it might be to soon. Consistancy and patience. Plus there are several good books you can get at the libray. Try to find ones that finds the hunor. Your gonna need help finding the funny.

Answer 7

Reward them every time she does go in the potty make a big fuss and clap what a good girl wow. When putting her on also make a fuss how proud you are and tell her how much of a big girl she is sitting there. Read a book to her well she is sitting there so she isnt bored. Good luck

Answer 8

With my son, we used pull-ups/training pants for several months, and he didn't even notice when he would wet or dirty them. One day, I said, that's it. It's time. I took his diapers and pull-ups completely away, bought a vinyl mattress cover, and told him that he would use the potty, or he would get everything else wet and dirty. I also told him that it made the potty happy to flush his peepee and poopoo. Then I made a sticker chart, and gave him a sticker when he would use the potty, when he was dry at nap, and when he was dry all night. He was potty trained in a week... all day... all night... to this day!

Answer 9

No matter how things are going now, it is likely that your child will be potty trained by kindergarten. He'll go when he's ready! Hang in there.

Answer 10

ok stop trying to get her to go on the toilet and instead let her see you go and say see this is how big girls go potty. try to turn it into a game and the potty videos do help. it gets kids excited to use the "potty". if it is that she is scared show her that there is nothing to be scared of, show her the toilet and ask her what scares her about it. show her the whole toilet and how it works to help her get over her fear. good luck

Answer 11

Try to make a game out of it, however it works best for boys though. My aunt put cerel in the toilet and told him to aim for them, she left cup in the bathroom he would throw them in and an use the restroom. After about a month he stopped putting them in and would just go without the game from then on. For girls i am not too sure what you could do.
