Treats don't work for her. Trust me, I've tried.

Its because you did not start on time. We started potty training for our son before he clock one, he is one and half now. Even if he is wearing diaper he will still come and tell you he wants to pooh pooh or wee wee. Keep on training her, she will adapt with time. Don't be discouraged.

one of my nephews is 4 and still wers himself (he's a lastborn). It can be tough. But keeping her 2 hours on a potty suggests that you guys may end up getting frustrated at her at some point (normal) and she feels this and it makes her anxious and not go. All kids are different and they have their own schedule of maturity. So take a deep breathe, perhaps take a break for a week, please read the article below and try those tips in it. A gentler approach may be needed (seriously, sitting a child down for 2 hours in one place is punishment for you and the child).

Treats don't usually work, positive encouragement works better (clap for her, tell her "welldone! ", show her how to use the potty, be kind when she messes up, write her name and decorate her potty, in fact you wife and her go to the toilet together so she feels like a grownup)

Trust me there's nothing we didn't try. We encourage her, sing for her, even her potty is one that sings. I even thought maybe I could get her some training pants for her at Babys r'Us or somewhere.

I must admit we started late. I'm usually a bit more patient with her but her mum seems to want to take it a bit hard on her. There are even some days the little girl will just grab her tablet and log onto YouTube when she knows she will be there for long. This morning when she woke up she managed to pee a bit in her potty but not much. Immediately she stood up she went to one corner and peed her pants.

I guess this is ur first child.
First of all u need to stop using diapers, wear her pants instead, so that she becoms conscious of what is going on .
2ndly always take her to wee or poo, u should always ask her if she wants to wee, u might not get response at first , be patient she will eventually understand, u can tell wifey to make her use the potty every 30 minutes.
Get a family friend's child to use the potty and make sure ur baby watches , this is one of the simplest method to teach potty training because children learn by imitation .
Pls make sure u dont spank, i blame wifey cos she should have started this before the baby turns 2.

Potty training is hard work, when parents are lazy some kids end up bed wetting even when they are older .madam should start taking her to wee at night at intervals . u don't need to use diapers at night.
Goodluck

ahannn kilode.if na so them train you you nor go dey shit for body even as an adult


op no mind this one o jare.the mistakes you made was starting late. You should have started at age one at most 2 however it is still redeemable. Yell at her lovingly anytime she defecate on her diapers and buy a pack of sweet, tell her you will give her one of this if she defecate in the potty

Another way is to tell her that anytime she wants to pupu she should call you and say mummy pupu then bring out her potty. If she successfully drfecat in her potty clean her up, clap for her and let her know she did the right thing then reward her with one sweet. Slowly and steadily she'll getused to potty

Sorry you're going through this. Starting potty training too late often resukts in children resisting. I started my children at 14mos by just letting them sit without expectations...no pressure, making it fun. But since your child is older I would try:
1- sitting them on potty every hour for 10 mins.
2- stop using diapers especially during waking hours.
3- if child wets or messes themself dont change them right away (setting them on potty feeling the messy discomfort will encourage child to instead relieve self on potty. *dont leave them messy for long-maybe 10mins).
4- stay with child while they are on potty and distract them with conversation, learning shapes & colors, etc and nature's call may happen while child's not feeling too pressured to potty. Celebrate and encourage them to do it again if it happens.
5- always let little one join mommy/daddy to toilet and really make it seem awsome how big boys and girls use potty. Give yourself small treat after but dont give child...make them earn it. Use it as motivation.

Hope this may help. It will take consistency everyday but it will happen smiley

I am also having the same problem with my two year son. He has refused to be potty trained. The same thing your daughter does is what he does. I take him to the rest room but he will refuse to pee. He only poo in his diaper and wee on his body as soon as we leave the rest room. He cries as if one wants to kill him if asked to sit on his potty.

The issue is that he can't express himself by verbalising his needs. So I don't even know when he wants anything. Just so worried.
Re: . by ancashy(f): 6:28pm On Aug 05, 2015
Try using the toilet(am assuming it is clean and dis infected in order to be save for the toddler) sometimes works faster cos dey always want to behave like adults,remember u'll need to hold d toddler foer safety, you can then resort back to potty once d child gets the gist. I know it sounds somehow but it works for some
Re: . by raumdeuter: 6:55pm On Aug 05, 2015
What of a baby that you put on the potty and he stands up immediately. You would have to hold him down on the potty and its usually a physical contest where he ends up getting very agitated and not using the potty

u have to talk to her, kidz understand what we say. Tell her its not gud to keep doing it in her diapers and that at a point in time her friends will laugh at her.....use stories to convince her.

Re: . by Nobody: 5:00pm On Aug 06, 2015
Thank you all for your posts. We've tried some of your suggestions. The little girl now runs to the potty anytime we say she should try and pee. The issue now is she still doesn't do anything anytime she sits. She holds it in and and once we place her into the bathtub, she pees immediately.

The funny thing is she knows what the toilet is. Anytime she pees or poops on herself she immediately runs into the bathroom. I feel it's because she knows that's where she is supposed to be cleaned up.

Op print this out and use it.

Whatever you do.
Re: . by Nobody: 8:44pm On Aug 06, 2015
Lol at children imitating our examples cheesy

D first day I tried potty training, I was at our backyard and told my smallie to weewee.
Then I was preggy and all of a sudden felt like weeweeing too.
I totally forgot that d boy was there and weeweed the grandmama style.
When I finished, I saw him close by playing and continued with my instructions.

Na so d boy positioned himself d gradmama way to wee wee.
It took me some days to get that off his head.
Infact an adult male actually demonstrated to him on what to do b4 he started doing it d men's way.

Truly, they learn by example.
