Potty Training, NEED HELP!!!

[Kirsty000]

My LG 2 and a half and been trying potty training all throughout lockdown and still haven't had any luck

Tried her pull ups off her
Tried rewards stickers
Tried videos and encouraging her

But she becoming more scare of the potty and the toilet

Any tips and advice would be great

Juat stop. She’s not ready, and getting scared of the potty is a massive no-no.

Go back to nappies and give her a good few weeks/months of no potty at all. Some kids are ready quicker than others, but it’s not a race.

Honestly when they get it and are ready it’s so easy, dd was trained within 3 days, and she’s never had an accident.

Keep an eye out for signs of readiness: hiding to pee/poo, complaining of dirty nappies, telling you she’s weeing or needs a wee, nappies are drier for longer periods of time.

Agree with this op. She’s not ready yet. Dd2 was 3 before she showed any signs of being ready. She’s 4 now and goes happily on the toilet. Good luck I know it’s hard.

Yeah. I pressured my 2.5 and she responded by withholding her poo. That has been massively stressful for everyone. I should have just listened when people said don't push them. Maybe training on the parents' schedule worked in the old days when people smacked children for not complying but once it becomes a battle of wills you're fucked, so let it go.

Follow your child's lead. They are not ready. It's not worth the stress for them or you.

I agree, she is not ready. We tried our eldest when he was about that age and it was a disaster. We waited 3 months, tried again and it was an easy and almost pleasant experience!

Agree with others, sounds like she's not quite ready yet. When they are the process isn't hard at all and happens very quickly.
Go back to nappies and do lots of talking about the potty and big girls knickers, I read the story princess potty a thousand times I think.... We tried and went back to nappies and one day my little girl said I want to go on the potty and that was it. She was dry though the night soon after too. On this it's best to take their lead.

Thanks everyone I'll hold off and wait till she is ready and wants to do it in her own time
