I haven't tried this method yet, but I intend to give it a try next month. Apparently it works best for young children and loses effectiveness the closer to 3 a child is.

Doctors don't know anything about raising kids. They are not behaviour specialists. That's not their specialty - in fact, they don't learn that at medical school. After all, THEY also told you no rewards charts and any behavioural psychologist would tell you that's total bullshit. All doctors know is that STATISTICALLY, the average girl will potty train at 2 1/2. AVERAGE. There is a very broad range.

I'm sorry you feel like you aren't receiving any real advice here. You are, however receiving real advice from real mothers who have really potty trained their children and are sharing their real experiences. You have received advice, it's just not what you want to hear. But the fact is, if your child is one of those not physically ready, anything you do will not work. You can have all the goals you want, if your child either does not share that goal or is not ready, you will not succeed and you are setting her up for failure.

She may not be ready. Children are all at different developmental stages when it comes to toileting, and two is actually considered quite young. The average age for a girl to be potty trained is about 2 1/2 (it is a little older for boys), but that's average - not all are physically ready at that age. Maybe give it a break for a bit then try again? I found this worked with my daughter. Also, have you tried a rewards chart for her training?

No problem, glad it helped! I hope it is as successful with my daughter. Congrats on being diaper-free :)

Omg thanks at first it didn't seem to work so I gave her a break started a week in a half ago & she is basically potty trained during the day she is completely done with diapers & at night she hasn't peed her pull up in 4 days she would wake me up & tell me she needs to go . Thank you so much .

Yes I know how I wrote it came out kind a funny but she is 2 she will be 3 this October & the doctors are telling me she should at less be almost done potty training during the day that I should be on stage two which is not wetting the bed at night & I take her to ST.Christophers Hopsital those are her doctors I know mentally she ready but physically she might not but I'm trying to encourage her & find other ways to have her use the potty I came on her for encouraging advice or different types of ways to help her not to get bashed about how it's too earlier for her to be potty trying when professional doctors are telling go ahead ! I have took breaks we would try then if she would be stressed we will take a break maybe 3 week or a month or 2 but the doctors told me NOT to do that cause it's only showing her that all she has to do is wine about it & it will go away & that's not what they want y'all do it how y'all do it but my goal is to have her off a diaper by time she turn 3 obviously not completely potty trained but working on it !

I'm sorry, where did anyone call you young and stupid? Also, you said in an earlier post that she will be two in October, which is a big reason people are suggesting she is too young.

If she was ready, you wouldn't be driving yourself nuts over it. A child who is ready will often potty train quite easily. She might say she is ready, but she obviously isn't PHYSICALLY ready to do it.

As I said earlier, why not give it a break for a bit and go back to it in a month or two? With both my kids I did that, and when I gave it a rest and then went back, they both actually trained in a matter of a couple of weeks, and it was far less stressful all round.

She tells me she is ready she shows signs she wants too & she tells me she doesn't like the diaper I'm young not stupid I wouldn't potty train her if she was that young she is two she will be 3 in October

So basically, she is only 1 1/2? That's a long way from 2. It sounds like she isn't ready.

Remember when kids see us doing something they want to as well

She is still a little young, don't get mad or inpatient with her. Keep a diaper on her so she doesn't pee on herself and ask her a lot though the day if she needs to potty, tell her she is a big girl now and big girls use the potty. If you have to demonstrate by using it in front of her (there are ways without showing any body parts). Then encourage her to, also get her a cheaper diaper brand like luvs.

So she is not 2 yrs old until Oct? So she is not 2 yrs old? Why do you want her to grow up so fast? She is only 18/19 months old......don't expect her to do something that developmentally she is not ready for. You will live a life of frustration and your daughter will live a life of never being able to live up to your expectations. She will potty train when she is development ready......most likely around 2 1/2 years old.

As far as two in diapers. Yes it can be crazy and expensive, but you also choose to have kids close in age.....diapers is part of that.

She'll be two in October so I figured she'll be ready & my doctor told me don't is a rewards chart cause she will always expect something she said just encourage her & do a happy potty dance but no luck still she will poop in the toilet but won't pee she'll hold it till she can't no more then pee herself .
