I am potty training my daughter and as long as we are home she is doing great, but I want to try taking her out a few times, but I can't get her to wear underpants. Any suggestions?

Aww, that's kind of cute. I would personally make up a story to make her proud to wear them. You can try the big girl stuff but try to make it more personal and something she would get excited about... I wouldn't recomend rewarding her for it though when it does happen, but you should show her how proud of her you are after it all works out! Best of Luck!

Let her pick out the underpants the next time you go to the store. It makes all the difference. Tell her she is a big girl now and she can pick out the underpants she wants to wear everyday. Everytime she goes to the BR you have to say what a big girl you are and praise her alot. That should work. Goodluck !!!

First of all, I want to congradulate you for potty training your child at the appropriat age. Some of the parents from my work still arn't potty training their three year olds.
Now, I would suggest letting her pick out some of her own underware, and give her a small reward (like 2 or 3 M&Ms) for going out in underware and staying dry. Good luck!

Whats the big deal with her wearing them anyways? I just potty trained my 2 1/2 year old. She didn't want to weat them either. I never once made her. When you go out just put a pair of pants on her (But bring extra clothes there is bound to be an accident or 2 depending on how long your out). As long as it's not freezing cold she will be fine. I agree with picking your battles. Is this really that important. Let her pick her own underwear out and tell her how big of a girl she is. But let her decide when she wants to wear them. There are times when I do not want to wear them. In fact all 3 of my kids went throuhg a faze of not wanting to wear them.

My niece refused to wear underwear until she was 8 years old and her friends asked her why she wasn't wearing any at a slumber party. She always said they were too tight even when they were almost falling down. Don't worry about it. Just tell her if she wants to wear a dress, she has to wear shorts under it, or only buy her skorts and pants instead of dresses. She'll wear them when she gets ready. As a parent of 4 of my own children I've learned to pick my battles. Keep the parental absolutes, "Because I'm the Mom and I said so!", to a minimum to keep them effective.

i'd take her to the DR and have her appeared at - those are considerable pink flags for sexual abuse. Don;t forget approximately sexual abuse additionally contains forcing a minor to witness sexual acts. If she is asserting her pee-pee hurts, it rather is pink and rashy, mom hasn't had it appeared at yet (any 'rash' down there shouldn't final 2 months and desires to be dealt with!) fiddling with herself as others have suggested isn't unusual - inspite of the undeniable fact that, putting issues interior herself isn't usual as she shouldn't recognize how - their little bodies are actually not designed to be helpful in that section nicely sufficient (for this reason why they want help wiping bums!) so it rather is noticeably not likely that she became into waiting to locate that on her very own at her age - i assume not impossible, yet not very probable in any respect. despite in case you purely get her another weekend - the DR would be waiting to learn her for indicators of sexual abuse or molestation and if so, she would have the ability to not be going back to her mothers.

why put pressure on her? she is probably just enjoying the feeling on being free of her nappy. Introduce them gently, try getting her to choose some. In the meantime just dress her apropriately for the weather and her modesty! The time to worry is she is still avoiding pants/knickers when she starts school!

You just have to wait until she is ready, and try not to get emotional about it. It will happen. If you force her, you will both suffer. Let it happen on her time. Just like it was not up to you at which age she learned to walk, talk, etc.

yes, let her pick them. Dont hold things back from her if she doesnt wear them. Offer rewards for wearing them.
