Potty training - HELP

[SleepIsOverratedAnyway]

DD is 2 (24 months exactly)

She will:

• tell us when she needs the toilet
• tell us when she’s been to the toilet
• take her own nappy off and say ‘need a clean one’ (only with wee thank god!)
• explain that big girls use toilets and potty’s etc.

She will not:

• use the potty, we’ve tried lots of different kinds
• use the toilet, we’ve bought lots of different style seats

When she tells us she needs a wee/poo we offer the toilet or potty and she just says no and runs out the room.

We tried just going nappy free and following her around with a potty but she just refused and would go where she was stood.

We tried getting her a doll with a potty which she loves but it hasn’t encouraged her at all.

She has used the potty twice and the toilet once and after that it’s an outright refusal every time.

Please help?? I’ve gone with the ‘it’s too soon’ approach but she is showing all the signs she’s ready. And now the removal of the dirty nappy is making it a bit more pressing

TIA

I would also like to stress that this has been over 3-4 months so we haven’t been pushing it on her constantly. Just approaching the idea of a weekend etc.

I would say leave it for now. I have done potty training with my own kids and in a nursery.
Do not make a big deal of it. When she's ready she will have it done in a week.

I’d say carry on but be consistent - oh crap method: leave her nappy off, bottom naked, if she wees on herself so be it. She will learn.
Also can try Don’t stand over her, put her on the potty with an iPad and walk away.

Leave it for now and try again in a few weeks. Mine did the same and I managed to bribe her to sit on the potty with the promise of stickers aftwrwards. When she did finally sit on it I made a HUGE fuss and she was really quite pleased with herself. Managed to get her to stay on the potty by doing a weird made up potty song accompanied by a dance routine with two of her favourite bunnies....the things we do!

I have always used the reward method at signs of readiness with my Dc. Dc4 is 2 (25 months) and two weeks in is reliably dry/clean and tells me when he needs to go. Started with no pants, take to the potty or toilet every 5 minutes and asked if they need a wee or poo. If they go they get a reward if they try but nothing they get lots of praise. After day one lengthen the time getting longer for a few days. Positive praise for the reward I used small chocolate buttons or choc chips for Dc1,2 & 3. Dc4 was raisins. Any mishaps are just given an oh dear we missed. Two weeks on he gets a raisin less and less but still lots of praise. Dc4 has taken the longest time was but his speech isn’t great. Maybe I have been lucky but it has worked for all 4. I don’t use pull ups once we go with it either as I feel they are too like nappy’s.

I agree to just leave it. There’s no rush is there? It’s not like she’s never going to learn to pee in a toilet.

We tried with my son for a day and it didn’t work, so we just stopped. A few months later he did a poo in his nappy and he was sad about it. That was his last nappy and we didn’t even have any accidents - not one. We’ve had plenty of difficult transitions but potty training was by far the easiest thing we’ve done.

Pull ups and leave her to it, encourage her to go on potty of she wants to. If she doesn't and she doesn't make it she can go in her pull up...no stress.

I would leave it for a bit but what worked for my DS was putting him in ‘big boy pants’ he soon realised he did not like the feeling of being wet so only started using the potty then! Before he was a complete refuser! Wouldn’t even go near it
