Answer 2

I'm sure there is a ton of information on the internet under potty training. Have you tried to google it?

I have boys so my experience is a little different but from what I've learned, encourage but don't pressure her. Praise her for going on the potty but don't expect too much. Girls will usually start on the potty much sooner than boys - my friend's daughter started at about 2 yrs. old but still wears Pull Ups. You may want to start using Pull Ups too as they can be a great tool - she may feel like a "big girl" and it may help in teaching her to go in the potty more often. If you want to try it, though, you have to commit - no going back to diapers.

Hope this helps and the best of luck!

Answer 3

What worked for my daughter and my son is The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com I started by just setting it at the toilet. My kids immediately climbed up on this stool and discovered that they could safely and securely use the toilet. This got them very interested in using the toilet and they were potty trained very quickly. Kids like to use what they know mommy and daddy use. And it really is wonderful having your kids independently use the toilet on their own. The handles make all the difference --both felt comfortable and were relaxed enough to have easy bowel movements.

I like that I don't have to double the steps of potty training by training them first in a potty and then training them to stop using a potty. And not dumping and cleaning a potty each time is great. The best thing is that kids use it for years. I hope this helps you
