My daughter will be 3 in October, at her daycare her teachers say that she does not even ask, she just goes in and uses the potty and has no trouble, however at home she will not go. She goes in her pull ups. I have tried taking her every hour, but usually she will not go on the potty but waits a few minutes and they goes in her pants again. Why would she feel more comfortable at day care than here? I am not hard on her about it or anything, I am not trying to push her, I want her to be ready on her own. Any ideas?

I concur with Jen J. My daughter was exactly the same way - she did fine at school or church, but not at home. We let her wet her pants, and didn't change her. She didn't like the feeling very much - the problem here is that if you don't deal with her feeling uncomfortable right away, she can learn to "deal" with wet pants!
So, we took away her pullups, and took her to the store, so she could pick out underwear that she really liked. Then, every hour (we had a mini-grandfather clock that chimed every hour), we sat her on the potty. If she went, great! We encouraged her (and small reward for the "bigger" efforts). If she made a mistake, well, she did (no problem), but she wasn't happy about wetting her favorite underwear. Its a combo of things that should work with your girl. Just keep positive, and good luck!

I had the same issue, my daughter was 3 also and she always went at daycare, but when she came home she would go in her pants, I started sitting her on the potty with a book she liked,mabe take here to the store and let her pick one out she really likes. I also have one of those little seats that fits on the big seat and a matching little stool that she can rest her feet on while she is on the potty. It seemed to help I am sure she feels comfortable at home. I didn't push my daughter either,I took confedince in the fact that atleast she was going somewhere, weither it was at daycare or home but I would try the really thick training pants instead of pull ups. She'll get it atleast she is closer to going on the potty full time now than she was a coulple of months ago, give it a couple of weeks and she will go potty at home I am sure.

Take a look at their potty area and make sure yours is as similar as possible. The child size toilet seat of course and a step are two requirements. Just be certain she is comfortable.
In day care it is frequently the competition of everyone doing the same thing.
I will tell you what my Mother told me. And I am 66. Few children go to college with a diaper bag. So DO NOT get crazy over the potty training thing. It will happen. It always does.
Once it is finally accomplished you will discover it was a minor challenge compared to the ones ahead.
Happy Mothers Day.

i think at daycare she sees everyone else doing it so she trying to show that she can do it. but when it comes to her being at home theres to many distracttions and she doesnt feel like she has to go on the potty. try to reward her for going potty at daycare and try to be patient. it will come. pratice makes perfect. good luck

We had that problem with my son. he went at daycare *I think* because he saw all the other kids going.
Finnaly, his dad took him in the potty at home and SHOWED him. BAM, potty trained!

thats a good question. Maybe becuase she sees other kids going? Me personally I let my girl pee her pants once. She was soaked. I let her sit in it for a good 30 minutes. She hated it. But she never did it again. Sounds bad even to tell myself that. But it worked.

Maybe that's just the problem. Maybe you aren't hard on her at all and she feels like she can just do whatever at home. Try answerer #1's idea. It might just work.
