I have a 17 month old daughter that I want to start potty training. I was just wondering what age other people

Question

started potty training there little girls and also I was wondering what some good tips were on starting to potty train??

Answer 1

As soon as my son starting walking, he was a year old, I started potty training him. This was some time ago mind you, but at that time he loved He-Man. So before we started I bought him some He-Man under pants, I put them on him and told him it would not be nice to potty on He-Man. He had 2 accidents and we were finished with the training......

Answer 2

What is it with all these "she'll train when she's ready people" That's the mentality that is leaving toddlers not potty trained until 3 or 4. While it's true that you can't make a kid train and that kid's feel there bladders at different times - you got to start somewhere and start while they're young by taking them in the bathroom, letting them sit on the potty, etc. You are doing the right thing by starting this young, just don't get frustrated if she doesn't catch on as quick as you want her. Be consistent and when she finally does start to get the feeling, she'll know exactly where to put it and feel comfortable doing so because you showed her early on instead of waiting until she told you.

Answer 3

Thats about the age I started training my daughter. She didnt really get it until she was almost 2. Just be patient, and offer her to use it daily, I use to take my daughter in the bathroom, and have her to sit on her potty, while I used the big potty.

Answer 4

I started my daughter at 18 months. I started by putting panties on her for about an hour or 2 during the day, usually after she did poop, and telling her if she has to go to tell me. She was really good about telling me. My fear was going out in public without diapers and that she would forget our routine. But she did fine! I would just use diapers at night and even then by morning the diapers were dry. She was fully potty trained before she turned 2.

Answer 5

My daughter was around 20 months when she started waking with a dry diaper. I think it really helped my daughter to understand the concept of "pee pee goes in the toilet, not in your diaper." My daughter really wanted to be independent when it came to potty training. She did not want to use a floor potty and she did not want to be lifted to the toilet. What worked for my kids is The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com This stool makes every toilet kid-sized. It really helped my daughter to have a safe and sturdy way for her to get to the toilet on her own. I like that this stool cuts potty training in half by eliminating the potty chair. This stool made all the difference for my kids. I hope this helps you.

Answer 6

my sister had boys but she started potty training her oldest at the age of 3. her youngest at the age of 2 1/2.

We use a sticker chart with the youngest son and it seems to work.

every time he goes in the big boy potty he gets a sticker and if he gets 5 stickers he gets a treat,if he only has 1 accident during that time he still gets a treat. because they are still little kids and at this age you cant expect them to go 100% of the time in the potty.

the treat is usually a juicey from the gas station. but we switch it up every week because it does get boring.

some times he gets a toy hot wheel or a trip to McDonalds.

It does work because so far we have had only 2 accidents in 2 weeks.

Answer 7

She is probably too young. You might introduce her to the idea. Let her take it from there. Look for signs like dry diapers in the morning, not wanting to wear a wet diaper, telling you she needs to potty, etc. Don't push her. She will train when she is ready.

Answer 8

i too have one a grown up girl but disturb her till she finishes her high school.
