What about potty training?

Heyy, My son was fully potty trained just after his 2nd birthday but he was really interested in it and showed signs of being ready ie, staying dry through the night, letting me know he needed the toilet etc. I think it is more or less down to the individual child more than anything. If they feel scared they won't go. Don't push just try and encourage her by maybe putting up a reward chart near the potty and givving stickers for going? My son loved this but it may not work for your daughter. The most important thing is waiting till your daughter feels confident enough. She'll elt you know when she's ready some way or another lol.

i tried to potty train my son, shortly after he turned 2 years old. He clearly wasn't ready and no matter what i tried, he would not pee in the potty. i decided to wait a bit and try again once he was a bit older. he was almost 3 by the time he was potty trained. i found that putting him in real underwear with plastic pants over top helped alot. he didn't like the feeling of being wet, so as soon as he'd pee his underwear, he would take them off. He only peed in them twice and then went to the potty on his own every time after that. i found that pull-ups didn't help at all even the ones that claimed the child could feel the moisture or it would make them feel cool when they were wet.

princessmel has the best approach,the disposable diapers and pull-ups are the main cause of children being in diapers to 5 and 6 years old. It looks like she is interested in training as she watches you and imitates. I would suggest getting the thicker cloth training pants(not the all-in-ones)and seperate plastic panties. the naked method is great on children between 1 and 2 years of age,after that,they have usually figured out that potty training take time away from playtime,so you have to be more consistant. if you know she normally pees in 1 hour or 45 minute scheduals,try setting the kitchen timer for about that time,and tell her to run (or make a game of race with her)to the potty and sit for no more than 5 minutes,if she does not produce,but did run and sit,give her 1 m&m's for being so good,and 2 if she pees and 3 or 4 for poop. instigateing or telling you when she needs to go is the last step in the training. If you would like to ask any more questions on this,please do so,I am a co-leader on the toilet teaching board of Ivillage,so maybe able to give you some other ideas. Many Blessings.

My daughter made the decision. I had her on the changing table. She was yelling "no diapey, no diapey!! She kicked and got me in the mouth. Accidentally she loosened some teeth. We went to potty pants and never looked back. Took about 6-8months to get the hang of it. And my teeth tightened back up in a few days.

well though i have no formal experience with potty training i know a lot of 2-year olds in our vicinity who are already good at it. discipline is a key. potty training is one giant step to your baby's development. once she is able to grasp the philosophy of it, she will then understand its significance. potty training is something parents should be doing for their kids. babies will never be ready. since they just adapt to everything they learn from their surroundings. plus, she is already 2 years old :) we all know every well that she can do it. just be patient mommy. she'll learn it through.
