Potty training

What are some good ways to potty train a girl? I have been working with her for a year. she won’t tell you she has to go potty until she’s already peed or pooped her pants. we wanted to put her in preschool in the fall, but doesn’t look like it’s gonna be happening.

What's her age?

@Lianne she will be four in June

Try another round of something new.. Get a set of new potty books. If you have a little potty, try a ladder that fits on the potty. Have her pick out big girl panties for when gets the hang of it. Practice predicting other things and then use a similar phrase about going potty. For example, if you hear your garbage truck coming down the street, in the morning ask her to see if she can tell you when it's coming. Run out to go see it, and when you come back in tell her how it's like going to the potty. First you sense it coming, then tell mommy, then run together to the potty. Talk about what signs she might feel before needing to go like feeling heavy, feeling uncomfortable, feeling like she needs to cross her legs or squirm around. Have her try before you leave the house (you don't want to have an accident at the library...) and give her lots of praise if she's successful. A lot will happen before fall! Don't worry, she'll get there. 🙂

Potty train in three days it’s a helpful book give it a try helps out step for step

Just came to say you're not alone. My son will be 4 in July and we've been working with him for about a year as well. There were stretches of almost a week with 💩 only in the potty, but he's since regressed back to in his pull ups. Pee has been another story... He never goes on the potty. And he never tells us. It's become incredibly frustrating bc it feels like he isn't even trying. 😞
