She holds it longer than the movies. :) She'll get there one day, haven't met a kindergarten kid yet who isn't pottytrained...and who knows, maybe she won't like her brother showing her up lol.

STEPHANIE C. I completely understand what your talking about!!!!!!!! I ordered the Huggies Potty dance DVD for free.....And it gave me a small clue.........Do let her choose when she's ready....but also be firm in telling her it's potty time. Also see if when she first wakes up that u put her on the potty and u go too.....sometimes she might follow and then she may not....but it's still up to her.........by the way have you tried her sitting on the potty infront of her favorite movie? works here...it might work for you too!!!!

My daughter is 32 months old and STILL terrified of the potty. She started showing all of the signs of being ready at 16 months so we started then and she has maybe used it once. Now we say the word potty and she screams and runs. We've tried different types, treats, prizes, etc. and still doesn't want anything to do with it. I can't just let her run without anything on though, I've tried but I also have an 11 month old (who enjoys sitting on the potty) but everytime I turn my attention away, she stops holding. She has literally held her pee for 3 hours to try to avoid using it. I'm at my wits end.

My oldest trained at 2.5...I had to bribe her to poop in the potty. But she peepee trained all on her own. Some say that isn't a good idea to bribe, but for $12 (a package of 8 princess figurines....she got one per day for pooping in the potty) I had a fully potty trained little girl.



My youngest trained at 2. With both kids I just left it up to them. No stress. Do it or dont. Here is the potty, here are your rewards if you want to go, there was no punishment or disappointment for not going. I bought the underwear up front and put it in their drawer. Each day around 2 years I asked if they wanted a diaper or underwear.



Again, I didn't have anything to do with their training really. It was all up to them. I think some kids are ready early and some are not. just encourage them along the way and let them know it is ok if they don't go in the potty.

I agree with putting ur child in regular underwear my son was potty trained at 29 months it took me 3 days I was lucky he caught on fast and I worked with him alot I put him in reg undies so when he went in pants he would b all wet and yucky which no one likes and I kept repeating over and over like every 5 min all day if u got to go to potty u need to let me no and I also would give him a.sticker each time he went in potty and a big sticker when he pooped in potty and o would jump and clap and make such a big deal if he went. So hope this helps....:)

First & for most, GOOD LUCK because I am in the same boat as you. My gurly is 30mos and is respectable to the potty, yet she won't say potty. I am also a part time working mom. Yet, in some odd way, I started this sort of ritual of when we wake up, we potty!!!! She's on her potty next to me being on the potty. When I go, she goes......because she follows me. The timing thang of her's i'm still working on. I have had my firstrations where I had her 2 run around with nothing on, 2 potties(one up and down stairs), and had her 2 sit in front of the TV with elmo's world time on the potty.....:) I have also purchased the big girl panties and had her in them, yet she(alone) takes them off, finds her pull-ups as a replacement, and puts them on backwards. lol all i can do at that point is laugh. I have ordered the "potty dance" movie from huggies, which is free. She's getting the point slowly but all through this, try to stick 2 a simple schedule first and then incorporate a new "potty" adventure each week. And don't give up hope because YOUR LITTLE "PERSON" WILL FIND HER OWN INDIVISUAL CHOICE TO DOING THINGS HER WAY. ps-i keep saying this 2 myself through everything!!!!

Just keep on trying, again and again and again and again and......lol, you get the idea. My son turns 3 next week, and was doing really well, then now he has just decided that it's funnier to pee on the floor. Driving me crazy, but I figure that he knows what it's all about, & one day he will actually want to use the potty. Here's hoping anyway! lol

My son is 28 months and wants nothing to do with it. He has peed in it once but he would rather use it to stand on and grab things he can't reach. It takes a lot of patience and eventually they just get it and before you know it it's happening on a regular basis. Good luck!

Just keep working with her. Mines is not but she is not ready and I am not able to put my full attention to it.

I would recomened using normal undies. Ones she likes. So she has to go in the potty or she is all wet.
