how can I get my 2 year old daughter potty trained?

Answer 1

Use M&Ms or Skittles as rewards. Just one for doing it where she is supposed to! get a cute potty chair too, and practice practice practice!

Answer 2

They say girls are easy, but try something I am trying, buy cloth diapers and they get irritated by the wet diaper, and then they want to use the potty to stay comfortable and dry. Candy didn't work for me. Stickers might. Don't take the potty out of the bathroom, Ask them if they need to use the potty when they grab at themselves or you just know it's that time to go. If you keep on asking them if they have to use the potty they will get confused. Take care and good luck.

Answer 3

Rewards....simple as that....kids don't really care the reward as long as they get one...Get a little chart and every time she goes potty, put a sticker on it....that's what my sis did for her 2 1/2 year old. Even somethign as simple as rewarding them with a hug and a kiss works....Or you could work with something small (like stickers) and the more she goes on the potty, the bigger the reward...she'll want to earn that reward (say it's a Dora playhouse....as an example)...it's kind of like people who sing...they practice and practice and they get better and the reward ends up being able to sing (kinda the same thing but not really)

Answer 4

Well this is how i teached my doughter i bout her panties and when ever i was in the house i took her diaper of and lefet her in panties and ask her like every 30 minutes if she had to do peepe and she would respond. They do pee on them self but just have patience. Oh when you go to the bathroom your self take her with you and explain what you are doing kids are curious they want to do the same thing as what you are doing and buy her pull ups and when she goes to sleep at night put her a regular diaper so she wont pee on the bed till she learns, and when she learns how to potty trained make sure she use the toilet before she goes to bed and she wont pee on the bed. It works. I heard that girls learn fast to potty trained than boys. Good luck

Answer 5

First I got her a book about it. We read it every night before bed.She got hooked to the book and familiar with the issue.Then I got her panties, little ones very cute and sat to play with her to monitor when it is time.If she doesn't speak very fluently you will she that if she needs to go...she will touch herself or will look down.If she can speak she will tell you in her words she feels its coming.The you make a race to the bathroom or wherever you decide to put the nice potty seat.(try to put it in one place a never move it around so she will know where to look for it latter on).
Make yourself like you are running for it and make her sit.
At first she won't make it...but hey...it is a trial an error thing.Keep doing the same routine.One day...(sooner than you think) she will make it before you to the bathroom!.I used to kiss her and hug her a lot and clap like crazy...I am not sure giving her candy its educational...if you still feel a reward is needed...used the sticker method.If she misses it...put a happy face for the effort.If she makes it on time put a start.Good luck and see this as fun...So will she.In a matter of days...you beautiful daughter will know how to go alone!

Answer 6

Has she shown you "sign" that she is ready to be potty trained? Is she:
Curiosius about the toilet and the genitals - theirs and yours.
Talk about pee pee and poo poo.
Dawning awareness of when pee pee and poo poo are happening - especially just before the fact.

alert your child when you see that he has gone, is going, or needs to go.

When you notice behavior such as straining, tugging at the clothes or shifting from foot to foot, point it out! Even when it is obvious to everyone else, it may still be a mystery to a child. Help her learn her body's signals. When she does poop in the diaper, begin going together to put the stool in the toilet, so she will learn that pee pee and poo poo belong in the potty.

Keep diapers off as much as is practical during toilet training. This will increase awareness and motivation for success. Real underpants are great! Pull-ups can prevent messes, but if you use them, I recommend cotton ones if you used paper diapers or paper ones if you used cloth diapers, so that they do not feel like diapers to your child.

At the beginning, you might want to set a timer for every 2 hours. When the timer goes off - "It's time to go to the potty." If she appears to need to go, or says he needs to go - "It's potty time." Make potty time something to look forward to. Keep your child company while he or she sits on the potty for a few minutes.

Encourage your child to celebrate successes. If nothing happens, smile and say she's learning. When accidents happen, don't scold your child, but scoop it up, put it in the potty. Gradually encourage independence.

Answer 7

Try sitting her on the potty everyday around the same time for a couple of minutes.

Answer 8

well alot kids get potty trained at 2 or 1 some 3 but anyway make sure you stress to them that they need to use the toliet and put them one the toliet very often and everytime they do that give them a treat and they will get the hang of it

Answer 9

Wait until she is READY to be potty trained.

Answer 10

Wait until she's at least three. Two is too young and will be even more difficult on both of you. We're training our son now, who is almost 3 and a half, and it's still not easy.
