How do I potty train my 2 year old?

Two is a normal age to start and potty train. I always potty trained my children in summer so there wasn't so many layers to get off. I used 'pull up' trainer pants a lot too and stayed home a lot during the first few weeks to get intio a routine of offering to go to the toilet every couple of ages. All trial and error. Good luck. It does happen...

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 can have grown-up beds she'll understand. But, that might work against you because then it would be harder for her to get out and tell you that she has to go. Best of luck

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 are probably a lot of websites that can help out.

children will go to the potty themselves when they are ready to. i bought a potty for my son just before he turned two. until now he doesnt want to use it. he is 25 months old now. when he wants to pee he tells me to remove his shorts and he runs outside to pee. when he wants to poo he tells me to put him on the toilet. i only put diapers on him at night. since he asks me to remove it everytime he wants to pee and poo. he doesnt do it in his diapers anymore.

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, has been to time their poop time. Once you know master the timings when your 7 - 8 month old blighter goes to toilet, then you sit them on the small potty at those times. Our 10-month old now cries out in a certain way, mom knows better than daddy, when she wants to potty. She also makes sounds. The best experience was on our 3rd. She's 4 now. We took her through the same training such that by the time she was 2, she actually refused vehemently to use the little potty; she insisted she wanted to use the same toilet as everyone. The ultimate trick: please don't push it too much on her. Patience in training a child works out well. When they are one, simulations by the parent also work wonders!

just observe her movements or expression before doing potty or after like my neibhours son , before doin potty he stand on any place till potty will be over

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 and my mom sits her down right away and she goes pee pee... I just took my niece to the bathroom. She poo pooed...I know she's not done...but at least she did a little in the bathroom. A good thing to do when they are sitting on the toilet is make noises...i think a reason my niece likes us to take her is because we joke around while she is in there...so then she likes to go.

You could try to let her wear panties while you are home after she starts going. have you tried the seats on top the toilet? make sure shes ready my daughter was almost 3 before she actually potty trained.

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 wanting to be potty trained. He is very stubbern though! We have put him in pullups during the day and diapers at night. Encouraged him to go and tell us when he has to go. He refuses to take the lead! I have even tried puttin ghim in regular underwear so he can really feel the wetness - doesn't bother him. If we tell him to go sit on the potty he will go - and has even number 2 in there twice! You just have to keep trying and "plugging away" Unfortunately I have found there is nothing you can do to force a child to become trained. My daughter was in pull ups for over a year. Then one day she just decided it was time to move to the potty and panties. Hopefully this helps - I know it's not answers that you were probably looking for - but no one has those answers. If they did all the kids would be trained at birth!:) At least I hope this helps you feel better and to know you are doing the right things.

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 do it on her own. When she goes for the first time on the potty, reward her by taking her to pick out her "big girl" panties. Pull-ups are much like diapers. And while they make potty training less messy, they don't make it happen any quicker. And don't get upset if it takes a while. If she just turned 2, it could take many more months. They all train at a different pace. My daughter was fully trained at about 2 years and 9 months. My son was just over 3. But I know a 4 year old boy who still isn't trained (that's pretty extreme though), and a girl who was trained just before she turned 2. So there is no magic age. That's my two cents! Hope it helps! Good luck . . .

when my daughter was ready to potty train we used the sticker chart technique. every time she would go she'd get a sticker to put on the chart and when she finished her entire chart she got a present.

Every child is different. And no matter how fast you want them to get potty trained, it's not going to happen until they are ready, there is no pushing them. For my son when he was 2, he wanted one of those battery operated john deeer gators, so we set up a sticker chart and told him if he wanted the gator he had to get potty trained, after all it is a big boy toy. And it still took about 6 months of doing well, and doing not so well. but he eventually got the hang of it and got his gator. This did not work for my daughter, for her it was her clothes, so we let her pick out her very own big girl panties, first letting her wear them over her diapers until she started getting stickers up on her chart, then letting her wear just the panties, the first time she wet in them, we threw them away. She's been very careful not to wet in them since. But I didn't start focusing on potty training until, they were staying dry through the night, and I'd set up a day where I could set the timer for 30 minutes, when the timer sounds take them in to use the potty. Set the timer again for 30 minutes. and take them back in. If they use the potty both times, but the diaper was still wet with in that 30 minute time frame, they are not ready for potty training. But if their bodies can hold it for longer periods of time, get some stickers and reward them for doing good...good luck!!!

HMMM, This is a good one! My daughter, I recall was also very relunctant. I had almost given up until I used her ego against her! I bought some really frilly, girly panties. I proceeded to rant and rave about how beautiful and special these little panties are! (really haming it up!) "Only a special, beautiful princess can wear these"! She put them on. The first few tries, she wet a little, and I only acted a little sad- no heavy guilt trips here- She then became so concerned with not wetting her beautiful "princess panties" that she would literally run from where ever she was to the restroom!
