Actually, this is a very important cognitive step she has taken... Once children are to the step where they realize that they HAVE done something in their pants, it is not far off that they start to understand the physical cues that go along with it. After she understands the precursers to going potty (the tingling that tells her that she needs to go) she will be able to tell you ahead of time that she needs to go. This is an important step in pre-potty-training. She needs to be able to understand the feelings associated with going potty in order to be able to hold it in long enough to get to a toilet to go. Now, start encouraging her to try to sit on the potty after she went in her diaper, that way, she can associate the sensation of having a wet diaper with the toilet. Pretty soon, she'll be able to tell you when she has to go, so rush her straight to the potty so she can be successful. Also make sure to teach her how to pull down and up her pants by herself. This, along with the ritual of handwashing, are important components to potty-training.

that's great! it means she's becoming aware of the sensation of being wet or dirty, it takes time to learn bladder & bowel control . I took a pretty relaxed approach with my little boy sitting him on the toilet say before a bath or after a nap . I found pull ups were too much like a nappy they didn't get that wet sensation you can get washable training pants from dept stores that are a bit more padded than undies so if there are any accidents its not a total disaster, if she is recognising she's wet & other signs like being interested in watching mummy or daddy go to the toilet,she's probably ready, you could try a special book shés only allowed to read on the potty & i have some friends who reward their toddlers deposits in the potty with a smartie & getting great results! my little boy is just 3 & has only been dry during the day for the past few weeks, its very individual & if they aren't quite ready you can drive yourself round the twist not to mention putting a lot of pressure on them. good luck!

It's perfectly normal. Some kids will stay in diapers/training pants for a really long time and "train" in one day. Others will try to learn to use the potty for months before they really "get it." Just be patient, and offer her the chance to sit on the potty frequently, even after she just used her diaper (or pull-ups or the kitchen floor). This will help her learn to associate urinating with the toilet.
BTW - My youngest daughter just turned 2 at the end of January. Although she is in the process of potty-learning, she still lets me know when she needs changed. Since she has a big sister(3 1/2) who recently finished day-training, she wants to go on the potty. Sometimes she will go, and other times she won't. I just give her plenty of opportunities. She especially likes to let me know she needs to go before bed, as part of her bedtime routine, after she brushes her teeth.
I wish you the best of luck in this potty-training/toddler stage. I hope this helps.

Well it depends on how old she is. It is a first step to potty training when they tell you they have pottied. This means they do not like the feel of this. When she tells you she has already pottied tell her you are busy and tell her she will have to wear it a few minutes and if she does not like the feel then next time she should tell you sooner so she can go in the potty. I work with pre-schoolers and this is how we potty train them once they start telling us that they have pottied. There are so many mispelled words here as there is no word as pottied.....

It is the first step in potty training. It is normal and she is on the right track. Most kids don't show interest or ability to recognize and respond to their body's signals until after 2 years old. No matter what you mother had told you about you being trained before you were 2. Studies have shown that the early potty training that our parent spoke of were our mothers being trained to get us to the potty on time.

the most perfect element i have ever considered artwork is advantageous them for doing it top. in case you get disillusioned or punish them--this is the instant reaction for most human beings--it will have the option outcome and could more effective than likely compound the problem, causing more effective injuries. i have considered favourite sweet or a clean e book or allowing them to pick a toy and explaining that once she's a "enormous lady" and is going on the potty, she wins the prize. Make it a huge deal even as she does it top. praise her like loopy. children are all about approval and if she is conscious Mommy is pleased with her for what she's finished, she's more effective likely to do it again and again. also--attempt to remind her of the potty a minimum of once each 1/2 hour to an hour. children get busy playing and forget till this is too late. in case you ask her or more effective powerful yet, even make her a minimum of try, you may want to diminish down on the injuries as she's getting to understand. sturdy success--potty practise is a troublesome job in spite of the undeniable fact that it received't very last continuously:)

No it is very normal for a toddler to tell you that their diaper is dirty. But since she is coming to you about it. It might be time for her to start potty training. If you put her on the toilet and she cries. Maybe wait for a little while longer. Start taking her with you to the restroom so she sees and understands what the toilet is for.

she's not even 2 yet, then no. If she was 16 I'd be concerned, lol. But 2 is still pretty good for potty training. Good luck

No- she's just becoming aware of the process and the feelings associated with it, and she wants a clean diaper. You might be to the point where she would consider trying the potty...

Nope. First they have to learn what it is to be dirty. Then they will start to understand the feeling of having to go. She is on the right track. Good luck
