sorry ....creep creep grovel grovel

Are you going to run a clinic tomorrow night then Cod? Ds2 is in denial. One look at the potty and he runs. Or he'll sit in it but has to keep his trousers on. He's complaining that I'm putting him in pullups and not proper nappies (thank God he hasn't encountered cloth!). He'll be 3 in May. I was hoping that playgroup would shame him into it, but found that the other new mums were in the same boat.

And I've even up the bribery to a whole packet of sweets if he manages to do anything in the potty...

In fact I think that I've probably bribed him just to sit on the potty without trousers...

Don't know, but it has .

Looking forward to seeing you setting Potty Camp UK. We send our 2 year olds to Wiltshire for a week, and they come back fully-trained...

I'm sure there's a market waiting to be tapped...

How old is your dd Latz?

I definitely believe in waiting to the child is ready. But what won't do any harm is leaving your child without clothes on every now and then, so they can have an 'accident' and experience exactly what is happening. This way you can then explain that that is what they should have done in the potty.
But still don't even think about 'training' until your child is good and ready.
Which means literally, they are showing a dislike for nappies, telling you when they have done something, wanting to sit on the potty etc.

She's 2yrs 4 months - loves sitting on the loo and takes her nappy off occasionally whens she's done something. But there again she has sat in a full (wet and Pooey) nappy for ages - obviously one of the less smelly ones.

Think I should be doing something but she has only ever done a wee on the loo once.

my dd is 2.4 and is fully aware of going for wee and poo tells me when she's done it, can hold it for ages and can stop midstream, we've had a couple of dry nights on and off but will NOT do anything on the potty even when tap running and she's desperate. Will sit occasionally on potty but won't do anything and will nto sit on the toilet. HELP!!!! She's not bothered about being in wet knickers at all. I feel there should be some consequence of doing it on teh floor /in pants so she knows that that's not acceptable? I know all the books say you shouldn't discipline etc but if she doesn't get a consequence of some sort i think she'll just carry on doing it in her pants. Any ideas? I did try her ebfore and this time she's so ready just the aversion to a potty - Do not want to stop and start againa s i feel this is part of her nature and will happen whatever age we do it?

Absolutely no consequence would be the answer.

When she wets, just lead her by the hand, tell her to undress, and tell her to put her clean clothes on herself, whilst you clean up the mess. Giving her absolutely no reaction whether it be positive or negative.
She will soon get bored of it i promise!
