Potty Training Stress

[mummybear2918]

So I been trying to potty train my daughter for 2 weeks now but we are still having between 0-3 accidents a day. She will pee on the potty when I put her on and she so pleased with herself and she loves being in big girl pants. She can go through very long periods on being dry sometimes even over night... My problem is she won't say she needs to go and that's why the accidents unless I put her on she would pee herself especially when she distracted. Yesterday she did big pee and poo on the potty then we went out for a few hours she stayed dry and then when we got home I put her on the potty and she did a big pee with no accidents at all.. Today she woke up from night dry and then I put her on the potty and did a massive pee then she came running over about 2 hours later telling me she needs clean pants and when I look she pooped in her pants. Now that's the first she told me she needs clean pants. Then about 1 hour later she wet herself.... I really don't know how i can get her to tell me. Nursery is her worst time 3 accidents... Any advice.. She coming 3 next month

At the start I took my kids to the toilet regularly and it took a few weeks before they prompted me to say they needed the toilet. Could you get nursery on board with reminding her at regular intervals?

You need to be taking her to the potty/toilet every 30mins or so to start with, watch her to see how long it is between havibg a drink and needing a wee.

We follpwed the oh crap method which doesn't recommend knickers until at least a week from starting as they can feel like a nappy, which they have been trained from birth to do wees in. You need to break that, anf retrain her brain where it is socially acceptable to go to the toilet.

You're going to quick.

Two weeks in you need to be asking her if she needs to go regularly.

You should have moved on from telling her/making her go, but you've not yet reached stage three (she tells you).

Ask her regularly. This makes her think about whether she needs to go, to listen to her body for a minute, to get used to the feeling of needing to go. Don't force her if she says no. If she says no, but you think she definitely does then ask her to think again or ask her again in 5 minutes. You want to be avoiding accidents, but also making her take some responsibility.

I do ask her regularly obviously I hardly just leave her there to pee herself. Didn't think asking her to go and setting her on is moving to fast. And I don't believe in training in pull up. Just my personal opnion. Why do I feel these are judgy comments instead of actually help

13:30dementedpixie nursery are asking her constantly and putting her on the potty nearly every 30 mins thank you for the suggestion :)

'Why do I feel these are judgy comments instead of actually help'

I don't know. It was just advice. Feel free to ignore.

My DS is now nearly 4 and will still say he doesn't need to go when he clearly does. As well as asking him I just take him to the toilet every hour/2 hours. He is starting school nursery next week and the teacher has said they routinely take the kids to the toilet every 30 minutes, they don't ask. I find the more he is distracted or playing the less likely he will go. If your DD is able to stay dry at night as well I'd say you're virtually there just need to keep the prompts/taking her to the toilet going during the day.

13:49mommybear1 thank you. She goes pretty well she just full of bean and busy I don't think she realise and pee. Just want her to even start telling me she's wet and needs changed too.

It sounds from your post that you're asking her less frequently than every two hours? At the beginning I'd be taking (not asking) every 45 minutes. Personally I like the Oh Crap method so would recommend having a read of the book.

Well after the stress we are potty trained she just picked it up all on her own 😊

Excellent! You must be so relieved.
