Mine won’t even pee so you’re winning already in my book
@Karalyne yes we do 1 chocolate chip for pee on potty 2 for poop on potty. She hasn’t done poop yet but 🫠 lol I’m gonna do pull ups for naptime and bedtime. Then maybe in unfamiliar places
@Tayler Leftwich lmao don’t worry my daughter also just loves to flush the little potty hahaha
@Karalyne she literally like fights me to sit on the potty. What did you do with this??
@Karalyne this is….. I’m jealous 😔 the dedication has to be there and I just don’t have it yet
My 25 months daughter took me 1 day . But she always with me, even when I need to go, she had her little potty since 14 months. So what I did. After breakfast we putt all the diapers in a bag and left them outside, told a new baby needs them. She had 2 accidents whole day. A quick tip - two weeks before - I took her favorite toy ( bunny, doll) and put in the potty pretending they were popping, put tiny chocolate so she thought was a real poop . Don’t give up!! It’s take at least 10 day .
@Katia did she ever fight going on the potty? What did you do?
@Karalyne yeah she definitely had to pee and I knew it (hence the accident) but I’m wondering once she understood not liking the peeing feeling then maybe she’ll stop fighting me?? Lol idk. She is a FIGHTER she’s stubborn and tough I was expecting the fight lol
@Alyssa no fight but she tells me No, No , but I take her anyway. Also I try to go to her world, I play with her on way to the bathroom, pretend she is an air plane . Another way to prepare them is with books. There is a good one called, let’s go potty Elmo.
It took about a month for my son to really stop having daily accidents. It was 5+ for a day or two, then 3, then 2, and now we have about one a week, typically at daycare. It's a process, they are learning! We used Big Little Feelings potty training course, cause I need rules and direction 🫠 But from day one, it's no more diapers, just "night time undies (pull ups)" since it's really too early for most toddlers to potty train overnight. It does get easier. They pick up on your cues, so the more you want it, the more pressure they can feel. That works against you for some toddlers! If kiddo doesn't want to sit on the potty, play it cool and say "ok, listen to your body" or whatever you typically say and don't push it. The consequence of not sitting on the potty is having pee pee run down their legs. No one likes that, but it's a fast teacher.
@Karalyne my kiddo preferred his potty in the bathroom. I think he used it maybe 2 times when it was somewhere else in the house 😂
lol, mine is May 2022 and we’re only sort of training. She sits when she wants to which is only a couple times a day most days. She mostly wants to play: sing songs and wipe herself with allllll the tp lol. We’re heavily praise when she gets pee or poop in potty. She refuses to sit on potty at daycare. Really treat it like any other skill (her learning to walk and crawl, talk, etc) and try to watch her closely to learn her clues. Mine is a go hide/ in corner pooper and for pee she’ll start messing at her diaper in the front with hand. Then I just ask if she’d like to put it in potty.
It’s going to take time and a lot of patience. It will definitely get harder before it gets easier, because just when you think they’re getting it they start to refuse and pee or poop all over the house in protest lol, so just stay the course and hang in there!
Dont push it. Put the potty in reach. Read a lot of potty books. Let them see you potty. When they are ready they will Do it. If you fight them or force them it will just take longer
The fact your kid is grasping the concept at all is amazing. Cause my kid 😂🥴 sits on the potty, somehow learned to wipe herself with a wet wipe and gets up and says “ALL DONE!!!” And refuses to understand you have to pee or poop to be all done 😂💀
