My nearly 3 year old little girl is terrified of using a potty/toilet. She will sit on it no problem but will not use it, as soon as she feels she’s about to go she starts screaming and shaking and gets off, and manages to continue holding it in. I’ve tried showing her, bribing her with sweets/toys etc but she is terrified and will hold on for hours without going if I put underwear and cries to have a nappy back on. She’s wee’d herself twice today just after sitting on the toilet because she just cannot hold it in anymore, she knows weeing her knickers is wrong and that she should use the toilet but it’s obviosuly less scary than using the toilet for her 😩😩
Anyone had this problem and have any tips for overcoming it? Seriously feeling defeated here, she starts school in September and I just can’t see her using the toilet before then😩 and I know she’s ready as she can hold her leeks for so long I just need her to do one wee and realise it’s not yucky or scary and I think she’ll be fine!
