Potty Training Help

Here for the comments cuz SAME! She’ll be 3 on Saturday and it’s just not working out

@Tara me too. My lil guy will be 3 on Thursday. We've been doing the potty training thing for a while. My other son was 100% potty trained even through the night by 2. But he actually wanted to, no bribing or anything required. So I'm at a loss too.

Same here. My son will be 3 in a week. I work from home, he has 0 interest. He was doing great for like three weeks when he was about 18 months old, then he just completely lost interest.

Have you tried having her be naked or no pants for a few days? If not I would try that. Look for her cues for when she has to pee (it could be as tiny as a toe wiggle or something like that). It might take a little to figure out her cue, but once you notice what it is, her to the potty as soon as you see it. I used the Oh Crap method with my daughter right around when she turned two. It took her a little to catch on but she figured it out quick. She regressed after we moved (which we expected), but regressions are normal. We started again after a few months and she picked it up easily. I would definitely stop changing her on the changing table when she poops. Diapers and being changed are all they’ve known since they’ve been born; even if they see us going in the potty it’s still new and uncomfortable for them. Same thing with being changed on the table. I taught my daughter how to do the downward dog yoga pose, so after she poops I ask her to do downward dog so I can make sure

she’s wiped really well. I work from home too, so I totally get the challenge. You just gotta go for it. Maybe start on a weekend or a slow day. When we first started potty training, we also put trash bags on our couch cushions with towels over top so we wouldn’t have to clean up any accidents on the couch.

We had similar issues and then someone reminded me that kids get fomo too! I would put her on the potty and rush to get something done which made my daughter feel rushed and she would get off only to have an accident 5 minutes later. I started to sit with her on the bathroom floor when she would go and it helped a lot. Also don’t use the changing table anymore and if you must put a diaper on put it over her underwear so she feels it if she has an accident. Another thing is when she would have an accident I would still take her to the bathroom and clean her up there (dispose whatever waste I could into the toilet not a diaper bin) and have her sit on the toilet anyway. Stay consistent
