I work in a childcare center as a toddler teacher. My kids are age 1 to 2 1/2. I have several who have successfully potty trained and a few that are trying. I usually don't start potty training until they are 2 unless they can talk and verbalize that they need to go potty or if they show interest. I usually don't recommend Pull-ups until they actually know how to potty and can do it on a regular basis. I prefer diapers that I can put back on if they are dry. I take them once an hour and have them try to potty. I use sticker charts and positive feedback..clapping etc. I have had some kids that use a potty chair and some that use the potty ring on the toilet. Some do better with one than with another. The most important thing is not to rush it. Several of my kids were rushed and they continually had accidents. The parents put them back in diapers for a couple months and then tried again and they were ready. Expect accidents and a lot of them! Another good reward once they start becoming more consistent is big boy or big girl panties such as Dora or Sponge Bob.

I believe that your daughter is also a little bit young for the 3 day potty coaching system. She's no longer even 2 but, so don't be upset if it takes greater than 3 days. I started potty training my daughter when she was once about 19 months (she simply grew to become 2), but i do not think she would were in a position for a three day potty training procedure irrespective of how impressive. These methods are probably more of a bounce to get your kid which you could more commonly do on your own with out paying a loopy amount of cash. More vigor to you if it works, but i don't think that you can count on your baby to be "absolutely" potty informed in three days. Potty training is a process and does no longer occur over night time. Its feasible, however it is going to make an effort and there will probably be accidents (tons of accidents). I began by using shopping potty movies (Potty vigour, Elmo's Potty Time, and so forth.) and had her watch them at the same time sitting on the potty. She was once utilising the potty the first day of training. Use lots of stickers, might be candy, and surely tons of hugs and kisses and your daughter can be pleasant.

Honestly - success at house has been waiting until the child is ready to train. Can your daughter pull up her pants and pull them down? Can she get onto the potty herself? If not, you have to decide if you want her using the potty and you do all the work, aka parent training or if you want to back off and try potty training when she is a bit older. 4 of my children have potty trained, and it has been so easy! We have had less than a dozen accidents with all four combined! The youngest any of my children trained is 29months. The others were all a month or so from their 3rd birthday. The best book I read on the subject was "Mommy! I have to go potty!" I can't remember the author but it was great! It helped me to back off and let my children tell me when they were ready. Good Luck!

well no there is know real tip i can give on this again this is one of those issues you kinda gotta know the child and watch for signs that she is ready too potty train i my self have a three year old boy that is in the middle of trying too learn this.so good luck but i have two other boys that are trained my advise is too put her in underwear once they can feel there wet most kids don't like that feeling then tell her if she would go potty like a big girl she wouldn't feel wet.pull ups are better in the winter cause its so cold but underwear are a good thing too try come summer because of rases and stuff the winter time can cause trying this in the winter. underwear did the trick with my other two boys,

You have to find out what time of day she most likely to potty. When she does potty reward her with somethingThis will also teach her that wehen you do the right thing you get reward, until a certain age anyway. You also have to try and be more patient.
Good luck it will work out.

I'm working on this too. I've heard to try to have your child sit on the potty about every hour. The pediatrician says not to make a big deal if it can't be done. DON"T RUSH THE CHILD. The md says this will only make it worse. Introduce your child to it, talk about it, try to send them every hour or so, but all in all, when they are ready, it will happen. Also, I've heard to give them lots to drink so this hourly trip has a result.

When she wakes up, put her on the potty. After she eats, put her on the potty. Before a bath (and after) put her on the potty. Before bed, put her on the potty. Rewards might be good. Like a Smartie everytime she says she has to go, and goes.

It takes time. You as the parent will have to be the one to remind her constantly. Make it fun and explain every single step you do.
A lot of the time my son feels the need to go and hides under our table. LOL. So I tell him, Im going to beat you to the bathroom! It works every time. Every child is different and of course as youve prob heard they all do it at their own pace. Use an incentive of wearing big girl underwear with fun colors or characters, if she hasnt yet worn them. Start with them over her pullups and go from there.
Good luck!
