My daughter hardly goes poddy at home. She wears a Pull-Up at home but at her sitter's she wears panties all day with no problems! What can I do to get her to do the same at home?

I've tried the reward things too...........candy, stickers, getting special treats, etc.!

Stop watching her. Let her go to the bathroom by herself.

You need to figure out what is motivating her to go potty at the sitters and replicate that at home. Praise, praise, praise and aim for consistency -- both at home and the sitters. Use stickers, candy or whatever it takes! And don't forget the frilly panties that she gets to wear when she goes without an accident! Girls love the ruffles on the panties, no matter what their age ;)

Ask the sitter what they do with her. She probably has a different set of expectations at the sitters that she doesn't have at home and visa versa. What is their procedure for the bathroom routine for her? And don't put the pull ups on her at all! If she can do it there she can do it at home, you just may have to do a bit more laundry for a little while.

have a reward system..if she tries she gets a small treat if she actually goes then she gets two...mini M&Ms and small stickers work great. Take her hourly even if it is to try, I'd also put her in panties at home, if she's doing it at the sitters then she can do it at home.

I guess you could try to make a game out of it.Take her to the bathroom with you every time you go.And another good idea is to get something to reward her with for when she does go.That should help motivate her.
