As a foster and adoptive parent, I hate it when someone refers to my adoptive children's birth parents as their "real" parents. Almost anyone can give birth. The real test of being a "real" parent is in raising and loving the...

pebbles_cubbie i agree with you. i think that anyone can pop a kid out it takes a real parent to love and take care of them. that's great that you got a brother and sister from the same family. usually that doesn't happen. i think adoption is a great thing especially for...

dublingirl When my mother potty trained me, I followed her around everywhere, so she just sat a baby toilet next to the regular one and explained that that's what 'big girls' do. Maybe if you take her new bed away, and tell her that only big girls who use the potty...

nickventere With our kids, training at 2 is a little rather late. Our 4th kid is now 10 months and she is "in training." I guess the earlier you start coaching them how to use potty the better the results. What we have always done with our kids, especially 2nd and 3rd,...

courtlynne77 You can try her on a potty chair, but just two is early. I would show her the chair and explain it to her, but not put too much pressure on her. It use to be said that two was the "age" to potty train, but now they say to look for the signs of readiness. There...

sillygirlsd Just keep reminding her. Sit her down on the toilet even if she doesn't have to go. My niece is also 2 she knows to let us know when she needs to go. She wears pull ups. A good time to take her is right when she wakes up! My niece wakes up with a dry diaper...

MakDomMom You need to potty train when your child shows you signs. Not because you want him to be or when someone else wnats him to be. I have a 2 year old that is showing signs (wants to be changed, knows how to use the potty, can take clothes on and off, etc...) of...

ktroth My advice would be to purchase a nice sturdy potty chair. Bring it home, put it in the bathroom and don't say anything. She'll be very curious about it. If she asks about it, tell it's hers and if she wants to use it she can. With little pressure, she may just...
