Not Sure What to Do

Feeling really unsure about potty training. My daughter will be 4 in November and she still really does not seem to "get" potty training. I was thinking some of it is stubbornness, but I also thinks that she still just doesn't seem to get it. Some strategies that we have tried: Rewards for trying and success- stickers, little toys, etc. No clothes Underwear Clothes with underwear Timed intervals Taking a break and trying again in a few weeks. We have gotten to the point where she will try to use the potty sometimes, but most of the time nothing comes out. Or she'll try to use the potty after the poop or pee has already come out. Am I worrying to much, or should I be seeking out more professional help?

👋😉 Hi @Hannah Does your toddler-in-training have a little toddler potty on the floor? Or is your little cutie sitting up on the regular big adult toilet?

@💗 Miss Jen We have a little potty on the floor. This is the one she mostly will try to use. We also hsve a little potty seat insert for the big potty that she occasionally tries to use.

💗@Hannah As a professional potty training coach, I'm often hired to stay in families homes to potty train their children. I try to set up the potty in a place where I wont have to rush a child to the bathroom or have to frantically say "go go go!! Lets run to the potty". "Hurry get to the toilet!" Its too stressful & scary. I always keep a small toddler training potty very close by at all times when I'm potty training toddlers. (especially helpful when I'm implementing the bare bottom method.) I have the potty near in whatever room we're in for the toddler sit on the potty frequently to get in a lot of practice and to encourage sitting independently. I prompt them to sit on it hourly. Heres a video for you that explains this and will help you navigate thru this. https://youtu.be/-TrGQi7r8gI
