My daughter Sarah is turning 3 in March and refuses to pee on the potty. She will sit on it but not do anything else. I have a 4 1/2 month old baby which is probably part of the problem. Any ideas?

I had to put my youngest on a strict schedule. She just didn't care. 'Big girl' panties didn't deter her from peeing in them, so I had to keep pull ups on her.
Her schedule went like this:
Wake up, sit on potty for 5m, if she didn't pee: play for 10m and repeat,
if she did pee: play for 30m and repeat.
Each time she peed she got 30m off the potty with verbal affirmation.
Each time she didn't pee she got 10m off with verbal reminder that when she does pee she can play for longer.
Remember, as long as there's no medical reason, this too will pass.
My youngest wore pull ups to bed until she was 7yrs. She just decided one day that she was going to stop peeing the bed. It was all about making her own decisions and taking control. The bigger issue I made of it, the stronger conviction she had that she wasn't going to use the 'big girl' potty. She's very strong willed even to this day as a 12yr. old. I learned to pick my battles with her.

My daughter Elisha is 3 in September and won't use the potty, never has, but does go on the toilet sometimes and has done for about 6 months or so. She just isn't interested in the potty but has a little stool in the toilet and her little seat and she likes to get herself on and off. If I try give her the potty she just asks for the toilet. Maybe try Sarah on the toilet instead???? Hope this helps in some way x

It WILL happen. I was in the same boat. I know you don't want to change diapers for 2, but if you ease up, she will get there soon. Keep up the positive reinforcement, but forget the pressure. The second child will train earlier, because they tend to learn EVERYTHING by osmosis!

I am having the same problem with my step son. He will be 3 in April and he refuses to poop in the potty chair. He will literally ask for a pull up just so he can poop in it. It has me so frustrated. My daughter just turned 2 in November and she is already potty trained and I thought that might make him want to start going in the potty. We tried the reward system but then he would go to the bathroom and lie about pooping just to get the treat. So we started leaving his pull up off and that has been the biggest help but you have to watch close so they dont go on the floor. He hasn't went on the floor yet and we have been doing these for 4 days. So you may try just letting her run around bare bottom for awhile with her potty chair in site.
