when will dd get the hang of asking for the toilet

[kbaby]

im traing dd who is 2.1/2 weve been doing it now for 2 weeks as she was showing all the signs and taking her nappies off after a wee etc. howeve unless i put her on the potty she is v rarely asking to go even though she holds herself so i know she needs to go. if i dont put her on the potty then she has accidents all day. when should she learn that she needs a wee or is it a sign that she isnt fully ready

I would say she is'nt quite ready, my dts decided for themselves when they were ready, they started about 2 weeks ago and have not had an accident yet, I did try twice before, but they were having none of it, but maybe your dd just needs to understand that the potty is where she wees, if you can bring yourself to do it, wee on the potty yourself to show her I did the second time I tried, and it was just a couple of weeks later dt1 whipped of her nappy with no encouragement and weed on the potty, dt2 copied and we have'nt looked back since, that is also how my friend taught her dd, just make sure no-one can see in through the windows

Am potty training ds at the moment and have had potty around for the past few months, so he knows its there and also what its for. He then decided when he wanted to start trying the 'potty' by whipping his nappy off when he wanted to go.

if i sit her on it she will go but if i ask her if she needs to go she says no. however she asks in nursery to use the toilet/potty but just wont at home and instead wees everywhere.

When I trained ds took nearly a month for him to ask to go (started at 22 mths), although when we were out he didn't have any accidents. I would carry on now you have started, she'll soon get the idea!

any consolation my dd now 3 has been training for nearly 11 months and is fine if i put her on potty/toilet but will never ask and if left long enough will just wee wherever she is. She does hold it for a v long time though and will go 4 hours or so before going. Its almost as if she's holding it until i put her on. Shes very good at saying she doesn't need a wee wee if i try her on potty but not when she does!!!! Any tips would be v helpful. She knows what to do, she seems to understand everything but no amount of incentive seems to help.
