She won't ask

My DD is nearly three and we have got her in pants. If we take her to the loo on a reg basis she will happily have a wee, but if we do not take her and don't say anything to her, she will just wet herself.

She doesnt ask to go but she know she is supposed to go i think.

This happens with soiling as well. The other day 5 minutes after i took her to the loo ahe stood and pooed in her pants in front of me.

How do i get round this.

No you are n't expecting too much assumign she hasn't got any problems communicating on other things and has been training for a while. Perhaps stop taking/prompting her and just make it a low key go when you need to, with stickers or reward for each success

how long has your dd been training? my dd used to do this for what seemed like ages. If you're determined not to go back to nappies you just have to stick with it - there's no easy way. Keep taking her to wee and reminding her, give praise when she does it right and try to ignore when she doesn't. Maybe you could give a reward if she asks in time. My dd seemed to take ages to get it, but it did happen eventually!

my dd is doing a similar thing at the moment. she is 2yr 3mths and i have been potty training her for about 10 days. she can hold it in for a while and is fine if i take her to the toilet, but she wont tell me when she needs to go.

i know i shouldn't but i am getting increasingly frustrated when i ask her if she needs to go and she says 'no' and then has an accident 5 mins later. especially when it is a poo! its very hard to stay calm and make light of it like you are suppossed to.

i was so lucky with my ds cos he was so quick to pick it up and has been fine ever since, am i expectig too much from my dd? how long should it take on average?
