Going on 4 years potty training

Am I the only person that has a child that is 3.5 years old, and refuses to use a "big girl" potty? I need help on what to do. I've read a book on a technique, and it doesn't work. The one that says: Put them on the toilet as soon as they are up, then every hour. Make a big celebration every time they use the toilet. She has a speech delay, so she doesn't tell me if she has to go. And when I put her on the toilet, she gets impatient and bored. I have to stand there, with her and read her books. Then she still gets bored and gives up after a few minutes. I have a two year old that I'm about to train to. So I need help.

hahahaha if only you could comment shit incognito I get judged so hard for this, but if your kid is into like monsters and scary stuff and scared of monsters and all that tell him that the potty monsters gonna get him if he keeps pooping his pants.potty trained my kid in literally like 3 days. the only thing that worked for him. I tried stickers. I tried candy prizes, I tried wearing our underwear going around naked all day. I tried all the things.

She is entertained by monsters. Ha, she loves that animated movie Monsters, and cracks up over people during Halloween.

tell her the potty monster is mean and will eat her 🤣🤣 worth a shot. My son loves monsters and is obsessed with Halloween and that is literally the only thing that worked. It sounds awful, but I was so done with the poop.

I would let my daughter be naked for a couple days and she started to want to tell me to go potty and I did sticker chart every time she would go and every 10 stickers I would give her a tiny toy bought a bunch from Amazon it worked really well she’s fully potty trained now she’s 3

Is she in pull-ups still? Best thing that worked for my 3 year old is just taking away the diapers cold turkey. Get a washable incontinence pad for their beds and let them have accidents until they figure it out. If they have the comfort of their diapers they'll just keep reverting bsck

@Morgan sometimes, I put her in regular underwear UNDER an Easy-Up to avoid "spills". But I guess that isn't working, because it is blocking the pee from pouring on her legs.

Yep you just have to go for it or they'll have no reason to use the potty if they can stick to the diapers.

Same. My daughter is 3 1/2 years old. And refuses to poop in the potty just finally got her to start peeing. But even then, if she’s being lazy, she will be in her pull up.
