Potty training bites!!!

My little one is 2.8 years and I think it was prepared for the potty, but he is so scared with the potty, he think is a monster that is going to eat him or something like that. I think he is not so comfortable right now with the potty idea. I will give him some time and then I will try the underwear idea.

Got a three year old also and I am struggling on toilet training as well. She is improving though since I stayed more hours now at home. I remind her to make pee every 2 hours and let her wear underpants so she knows the feeling of being wet. Got to admit am not successful sometime but she is on it already.

With my daughter I did the whole pull up thing also, but those are too much like diapers and my daughter never felt uncomfortable when she wet them so it did not motivate her to. So I took her to the store and had her pick out any underwear that she wanted. When we got home she immediately wanted to put them on, as soon as she wet them the very first time she saw that it was extremely uncomfortable when wet. Every since that first day she never wet herself again, even at night. But the only suggestion is to be consistent take her to the potty every couple of hours and she will get used to it. Good luck she will get the hang of it!

When my oldest daughter was 3 I had basicly the same problem. She was in headstart and they were allowed to wear pull ups. For the most part she was fully potty trained after being there for 2 months. Only problem was she was pushing 3 1/2 and still pooped her pants. I did bribery with her and it worked. She would always poo her pants shortly after getting home from Headstart. I told her that every time she went poop on the potty I would give her a dum dum lolly pop. Sure enough 2-3 months later fully potty trained!! Some people didnt agree with that method as she was getting about 3-4 dum dums a day but they are so tiny and I didnt care as long as she got fully potty trained. After about 5 months I stopped giveing her the lolly pops as a reward as I knew she was done with the training part. I hope this helped, I know it did for me. Good luck.

I wish I had some tips for you potty trainning Is difficult for most of us, you have done well and the the child get the hang of it in time. I had three children all grown now,but; my grand-daughter is gining us a fit.At 23 mos she will take off the pamper when ready and scream if we say potty to her! so; you have done well.lol

I have a 2 1/2 year old girl. TO get her started on the potty wasnt easy at all it was a pain in the butt. But after we got her going and asking her every 10 minutes or so "do you have to potty" she would say yes and when she went we rewarded her with something she likes. And if she didnt go then she didnt get what she liked. And in my case my little one loves chocolate. So i gave her a little pece of chocolate everytime she went to the potty and actually went. I would stand outside the bathroom and listen for the plopping sounds of poop or the water hose sound. Then we would make the BIGGEST deal possible about going to the potty. When i knew forsure she had to go and i knew she knew it after she was going on a regular basis and doin good. She got to pick out her own knew panties her grandma took her and bought her own panties that she wanted. And TinkerBell it was!!! Once in a while she gets lazy and tried to pee herself and i tell her if she does she gets a whippin. And she gets up and goes to the potty. My niece just turned 3 and my sister did the pull up thing and i never did i cant afford them plus i heard it slows down potty training due to they think its still a diaper. I went from diapers to straight underwear and it worked she was potty trained in like 4 days. And shes still doin great at ive never had to whip her accidents are one thing god knows every little one has an accident but for them to look at you and tell you i have to go pee pee and not get up and go and when you say go potty and they dont and do on the floor. All because they dont want to get up and go thats a no no. I would suggest maybe buying NO MORE pull ups and tell your little one that "mommys not buying anymore shes a big girl now and she needs to use the big girl underwear" try to get them with something on them that she will love like princess, dora, spongebob, anything and tell her if she goes to potty in her panties then her princess {or whom ever} will get really sick she gotta go to the potty. Other wise it takes time my little one has been potty trained for about 6 months. Offer her something she likes after she goes reward her with something little like a sticker or something something you know you can afford that wouldnt get to $$$..
