this started about three days ago. I went to change her in the morning and she dosnt want me to clean her anymore. I told her then it was time to use the potty. she says NO! and wants a diaper. I have a hard time to clean her. So, does this mean shes ready for potty training full time? She knows how to,but is stuburn.

The social worker is correct. Potty training time is the child's first bid at running the show, and if you give in, you make each following confrontation for power more difficult to overcome. By the time she reaches her teen years, you will be a docile domestic servant . . .
My daughter was bright and willful also. The best way to deal with such children is to outsmart them while they're still small.
I used the Toilet Training In One Day book to train my daughter. It took a week, but the process worked beautifully, and best of all, she cooperated fully and saw me as her friend. I took the behavioral approach as a cue and worked on all other potential clash issues the same way.
For example, instead of setting up bedtime battles, I got her extremely tired with various activities an hour or two before bedtime every night. It worked like a charm. She's always been cooperative and sweet with me (although headstrong and willful with others) and we have never had an argument and get along great. She's 25 years old now, so I'd say my potty training of her was a success!

Put her on the potty because it is past due! If she can tell you no then she can wipe and pull her pants up and down! I started my daughter at 1 years old and I love not having to tell her to go to the potty and stand over her! Plus a pack of panties is way cheaper then a pack of diapers! Don't yell at her just join her! If she tells u no tell her no! Let her sit in her own snit for a while but don't let her get a diaper rash! Show her who's the boss!!

2 1/2 and still in diapers? Man, potty train that child, believe me it's worth it what with the cost of diapers. Second of all, don't let the girl tell you no and dictate how things are going to be. You will regret letting her get away with that later on when she is running wild and telling you to screw yourself. Sorry so harsh, but I see it time and time again in my social work job.

UMMM YES. She needs to be potty trained. 2 1/2 yrs is kind of old. She is telling you no now. Then she is ready for the toilet. You are the boss not her. Show her now before she walks all over you.

All children of this age pass this ''phase of independence''.They want to do things alone,not to tell them what to do,and they use a lot the word ''no''.According to Freud this is the ''anal stage''.Other psychologist describe it differently but they all agree that in some point this is a natural phase all kids go through in different ways and levels.
It's time to train her for the potty.Dont ground her or yell at her!This will make things worse and maybe she'll have psychological problems in the future.Explain to her calmly why she should learn to go to potty.tell her that she is a big girl.and support her to her failures.That's important.
You should make her feel that she has a some kind of control in the situation.Like wipe herself alone or bring her potty.That will satisfay her need for independence.That's very important too.Give her a motivation for using the pot.(Clean,big girl,like mommy and daddy etc.)Finally reward her when she makes little steps.

I have let both of my kids potty train themselves. It has worked great. With both of them, the harder we pushed the further behind we would get. We stopped pushing and they decided it was time. We got a lot of lectures from our parents about out method, but we don't push ourselves to do something we haven't. We take our time and when we feel ready we do it. Why can't our kids be treated the same?

First i visit't exhibit how undesirable i have self assurance for you. my very last roommates cat died for no glaring reason many years in the past and it nevertheless hurts to imagine about. she pasted away on the vets because he waited so long to take her in. i have self assurance responsible because he offered to provide her to me and that i stated no and that i recognize I took more desirable sensible care of her. some weeks in the past I almost lost my new kitten from subject matters with having her mounted. regrettably such issues as that only ensue to cats. I doubt the well being care provider might want to ensure precisely what killed the cat inspite of in the adventure that they tried. only make an effort you want to grieve. do not rush out and get a sparkling cat once you encounter your next buddy they're going to allow you to recognize. we do not %. cats they %. us. be at liberty to message me in case you want a shoulder to cry on ok?
