We started potty training DD (2.8) 8 weeks ago. Today, after 3 poos and 3 wees in her pants (a typical day) I have decided SHE IS NOT READY
My other 2 DCs were both potty trained much earlier and with little effort on my part, so DD2 is a bit of a shock.
I feel we've tried everything and given her a long time to get the hang of it, and we really aren't seeing much progress. She is able to stay dry during a morning at pre-school (because she goes when everyone else does?) but has done several poos in her pants at the childminder's recently. She will sometimes take herself to the potty or loo, but most of the time she just seems too busy with whatever she's doing, and doesn't care about being wet/dirty.
It's got to the stage where, however relaxed we try to be, I don't think it's good for her morale to be constantly having wet/dirty pants. She's either not yet able to control when she goes, or if she can she's not yet willing to exercise that control when she would rather do something else.
The plan is to leave it for a few months and wait for her to be really keen. Please reassure me with your experiences of going back into nappies and getting there in the end!
