Potty training motivation
Show your support
The first few days are awful 😫. I found that in the beginning I couldn't put underwear or even pants on my daughter because she would just go to the bathroom in them I guess because they felt like a diaper. Once she really got the hang of going in the potty while naked, then she graduated to commando with pants and after she was good with that I started letting her wear underwear also
@Jess This is my third attempt trying because we all get overwhelmed, especially my toddler! But I don't want to give up because I know she can do it and if we want to put her in preschool she needs to be potty trained! I'm torn between using pull ups or sticking out the underwear a few more days
We had to re potty train our oldest daughter who’s 4 now. But when she was 2 she started potty training and then did good for a little while then got back to peeing in her panties. Well now she’s fully potty trained. Honestly it helped doing a sticker board we bought off Amazon but you can create one at home too. They love putting a sticker on for every time they do a good job of going in the potty. And then when you start out potty training go every 15 minutes the first week. Every 20 minutes the second week. 40 minutes the third week. And then by week four every 1hour. But by week 4 they should already be on top of it. Or at least for the most part.
Obviously everyone knows that each kids different. I had something that worked better with all 3 of our kids. My first was easy and motivated by gifts or small rewards. My second kid motivated by candy rewards and then my third was if you can go all day I’ll give you a trip to the store for a $5 toy or maybe go a week and we will go shopping for a gift. Either way. Patience and consistency always pays off. The toilet seats with the magnetic kids size seat attached from Menards has always been the easy transition for us and potty training. For age purposes, our first was quick and easy (boy) by 2. Our second (boy) was almost 4 when potty trained and still has accidents if he’s too “busy” and I don’t remind him he has to try ect. Our third (girl) finally almost 3 yrs old and potty trained but I need to remember to remind her often. But she’s doing really good. I thought she was going to be trained a year ago but then regressed and I took some time off until a couple months ago.
@Jocelyn ohh I'll order and see if she will keep it on!
Don’t react bad or negative to accident bc that def just makes it worse! We used m&ms for potty rewards and that worked great. Try the naked method if you can.
Same boat 😔
I feel your pain. Mine will go pee on the toilet as long as you tell him to do it (he’ll go in his pull up if you don’t tell him to go to the potty) but pooping is impossible. And he knows to go poop on the toilet. He just won’t do it. We’ve been trying this for at least 4 months and I feel like crying. My other 2 boys weren’t anywhere near this difficult to potty train and were almost day trained by this point.
