Answer 1

Are you using pull ups or diapers? She feels it's ok to go in them and it's comfortable. Use training pants all day and pull ups at bedtime. NO MORE DIAPERS! Ever! I had to make my son feel the wet pants and tell him no potty-pants for big boys like him. I started putting him on the potty every 45 min to an hour at first and praised heavily every time he did anything there. Once he had a better idea of what he was supposed to do there, I waited longer between trips to the potty. He stays dry now....okay he will probably be wet when he gets up from his nap just because I said that!

Answer 2

I know this is very hard. I have 3 boys and I hear they are easier than girls to potty train. Maybe while your at home and she does it in her pants, I have heard to leave the wet pants on her for awhile and she will not like the wet feeling of her pants and she may learn not to pee in her pants. Try taking her to the potty and sitting her on it every 10 min. Offer her a big prize if she potties. Tell her what it will be. Or ask her what she wants. Whats her favorite toy? Maybe they have more of them that you could get het. When she does go in the potty make sure you make a big deal out of it. Jump up and down high 5 her, Tell her good girl alright lets get you a toy or candy!

Answer 3

Keep her in training pants, no diapers. This will probably keep you home bound for some time. Bring her to the toilet every 1/2 hour or so. Read books etc. while you wait on the toilet. Try purchasing some children's books about potty training/not wearing diapers anymore. Do a "pee pee" dance when she is successful, make a big deal about it.

Remember she won't go to kindergarten with a diaper on!

The prime time for potty training is between 2 and 2 1/2, after that it becomes a bit more difficult.

Good luck and blessings!

Answer 4

At two its hard for them to know what you mean. Plus she's at the age that playing if more fun then sitting on a potty. Instead of asking her, just take her to the potty and play games or look at books. Then a hour later take back to the potty until you know how long she can hold it. But don't push her using the potty if she don't like it. You can actually make her not want to go. Then you have lots of mess's to clean up. You may have to take a break from the potty for a month then re-try it again. I pushed my oldest son and we didn't get potty trained until he was three and half.Good luck.

Answer 5

I work in a daycare and also have a 2 year old son. The technique that we use is simple. Once the child is old enough to potty and control her bladder we go and sit them on the toilet. I use the normal toliet with my son because he just seems to want to sit there and play with himself. I put in on the potty backwards. with his body facing the toilet tank and his bottom on the outer curve of the seat. Then i just encourage them to potty, if they don't after a couple of minutes then i take them off and praise them for sitting there being a big boy or a big girl. about every 15 to 20 minutes after that i take them back to the potty and try again. If they use the potty make sure you praise praise praise just say good job and be very engergetic about it and give hugs and stuff. then just take her back every 45 mins to an hour for her to go again. My son was potty trained in three days using this method and the children in my class have been very successful with it as well. Good luck!!

Answer 6

Never spank a child for soiling or wetting themselves. This will make them associate toileting with pain/spanking and all your good work will be in vain. I left the potty in the living room in full view, reminded my kids about it. Got a sticker chart for when they did go and once they got a certain amount of stickers they got a present. Don't force your child or pressure them. Also, I know you have a daughter but boys take longer to train as they physically cannot control their bladder when a girl of the same age can.

Answer 7

That is the first step into potty training. She realizes she had a body function. Now she is ready to be taught how to go. Keep her in panties in the house. And every hour take her to the potty and tell her lets go pee. I know it sound like alot but a good habit to get into while she is trying to learn and eventually she will start going in there herself when she feels the urge.

Answer 8

I have 3 kids and let me tell you what works.... dont potty train. As long as your child knows that big kids go to the potty (take him/her in there with you sometimes) they will want to do it in their own time. I did not potty train any of my children and they were all using the toilet without accidents by 3 years old. you can make a child go to the bathroom but you cant force their body to have control until it is ready....good luck!!!

Answer 9

you should put her on the potty every 20 mins or so and turn on the water in the sink just a little to hear the water run and when she goes give her a prize ( a sticker or a small piece of candy or something small ) and soon she will realize she goes and gets a treat it works i used the same idea on both of my kids now age 6 and 4

Answer 10

Did she just turn two, or is she closer to turning three?

If she just turned two, she may not be ready just yet, or she may be in the very early stages of learning.

My daughter was 2, but she was very close to turning 3 before she was 100% potty trained.

It just takes time, don't worry. She is still very young. I have friends who didn't get their kids trained until they were almost 4.

Good Luck and try not to stress.
