where to start potty training for dd 2 yrs

[madame]

My dd is 2 years old and is showing a real interest in the loo, she keeps asking to wee wee, I have bought a seat to go on the loo which she is very happy to sit on but as yet has not done a thing. I don't want to discourage her but not sure if she is ready. Where do I start?

I have the seat, I have knickers and pull ups but just don't really know what to do from here.

I bought my son (2.5)a book from WH Smith. It has stickers and a wall chart. We read the book through a few times and then one morning I put him in "big boy's pants" (with noddy on - he chose them)I kept putting him on the potty every half an hour. Each time he agreed to sit on he got a sticker on his chart. Eventually he did a wee on the potty and we never looked back. He was potty perfect in just two weeks (still has occasional accident but is clean most of the time - even at nursery where he goes for 3 hours in morning). Just give loads of praise when it goes right and brush over accidents. It has to be the right time for them. I hope this helps.

I used a potty to start with and kept it to hand (on a bedmat to catch spills) It avoids the mad dash to the toilet- they really cant hold it and will need to go in seconds at first.
I encouraged mine to sit on it after meals or big drinks and praised about how big and clever etc. Dont insist they stay, let them experiment with getting on an off. No knickers/ nappy obviously. Eventually the timing will be right and you will catch a wee- go crazy with praise- everyone to have a look,etc. Mine loved the reaction and soon cottoned on that wee wee meant clever girl. If she really is showing no interest or you are having no success GIVE UP and try again in a month. You are wasting your time if they are not ready and everyone will get stressed out and it will become traumatic. I potty trained twin girls and one was ready 3 months before the other. 2 is really the EARLIEST I would try. Good luck and be cool!

I have to say we got the Gina Ford Potty Training in a Week book and never looked back. Dd1 was 2 when we started.

I think the key is to be consistent. As tempting as it is to put them in a nappy/pull up after accidents, you need to stick with knickers.

Good luck.

Can anyone suggest a good web site for buying all the potty things I am going to need
