STILL potty training

I suggest you start training the little one and she might follow if not talk to the doctor about it.

Two months, huh? I think you need to make a list of all the things she has to look forward to if she goes to preschool. Talk to her about it. But, you have to go potty like the other preschoolers! Do you take her with you with you go? Is she preaised and giving added playtime or such when she goes? Short of disowning her I would say she will come around when she is ready. Here's some links I found that might have something you hadn't tried or thought of in them: http://www.parents.com/toddlers-preschoolers/potty-training/tips/potty-training-tips/ AND http://www.pull-ups.com/na/big_kid_central.aspx?WT.mc_id=PUG12

Maybe if you give her a good reason to then she'll do it? It's only a guess for every child is different but to give you an example, I went to Florida to get my God daughter for the summer and her middle brother wanted to go too so I let their mom know it was alright then later the youngest wanted to go too but he wasn't completely potty trained yet so she wouldn't let him go but promised him that if he went to the potty like a good boy then he could go next summer. From then on, he went potty on the pot all because he wanted to spend the summer with hubby and I. The following summer, he was completely potty trained and came to spend the summer with us and now all of them want to come every summer. lol We love kids and so we get them or their mom brings them up almost every summer. I'm sure you see my point but I don't think you want to use that example but say your little one wants something in particular. You could tell her you'll buy this for her when she completes her potty training on the potty. Maybe then she'll do it.

I didn't get into the bribing that some parents do with my kids. My son was a little over 3 when he was finally trained. He knew what to do, but he was being stubborn. I took the this is what you are supposed to do, so you just need to do it approach with my daughter. She was fully trained at 2 1/2 years. She is almost 3 now and has been trained for a good 6 months now. I guess it really depends on the child. Since it seems to be regression, Maybe explain to her that she cannot go to school unless she uses the potty all the time. Make going to preschool seem like a really big deal and a really cool and fun thing to do. She might just take the bait.

Don't put her in a diaper or a pull up at all, just underwear. She won't like it very much if she wets or poops herself.

Hi camomom. I also have a 3 year old and I think I could say that we've been successful in training him. It has been 3 or 4 months now since I last bought a pack of diapers. We used to bring him for a few hours to a babysitter. There were other kids there too. Much older than he is. I guess he picked it up there, that there is a time and place for potty. Is there any other older kid that your 3-year old can emulate? I think if they have someone older kid to follow around, and tell them, it'll help to teach them.

Bribes worked best for me. With my oldest it was stickers. She was eager to do it so it wasn't really hard. With our middle one she was stubborn. There was no point in trying till she was ready. I didn't want to force her, so I asked her and she always said no. I was babysitting another boy and as soon as I stopped she was ready and started going, but it still took bribing her to get her to do it. With her we used tootsie rolls. I kept a bowl of them on a shelf and she got one every time she went. She was a little over 3. My son is almost 2-1/2. He is doing pretty good, he likes to be praised a lot and of course he has to have a piece of candy. Hey whatever works lol.
