Potty Training

1 reply

MrsAnon6 · Yesterday 13:37

I’m really struggling with potty training my 3 year old.

She’ll only use the potty if I physically put her on it or tell her to try and use it and even then she often kicks off and says she doesn’t need to/want to go. She can’t recognise when she needs to go and so has multiple accidents. She’s a bright kid in many ways so I’m confused as to why it isn’t sticking but I’m starting to feel like a failure for not having a fully toilet trained child at age 3.

She doesn’t start school until September 2027 fortunately so I have time but when it comes to this she seems really behind but I’m lost with how to sort it.

My 1st was really similar and I just persisted, took plenty of spare clothes and eventually they got it! My 2nd was a breeze and I did nothing different at all! It was stressful at the time but honestly it just clicks one fay! X
