Hi all.
My 2.11 year old is potty training last 2 days

1st day 3 in toilet and 5 accidents
2nd day 2 in toilet and 5 accidents

Sometimes she sits on the toilet and then pees 5 mins later
She comes and tells me she's wet and want to go to the toilet. Once she did this and carried on the pee on the toilet. I think she tried to hold the accident pee?

Taking her every 30 mins
She's likes going till it's evening and says no mummy toilet is yucky and wants to get off and has a accident
When she does she looks down at her pee and is super happy with herself
Lots of praise when she does and a treat.
I think she sometimes has trouble relaxing
Using a adult toilet with child seat and step up.
Is she ready yet? Shall I persevere?

You need to give it a week. If no progress after that can it for a couple of months or so and wait (oh how I WISH I had done that for my eldest). Youngest was almost totally day dry by the end of the first week but had loads of accidents on days 1 and 2

Ohh and maybe When you do venture outside for your first little walk around, try loose fitting trousers or shorts (to practice the pushing down, but they should be really loose just to get her used to the action) and ask her if she needs a wee as she won't be able to go, ask her to try for one, it's a good habit to get into.

You're both doing test by the sounds of it.

@Thinkbiglittleone
It's day 7 and she's been dry since day 5 which is so happy about! Uses the potty herself or asks for it.
Yesterday she kept using it over and over and didn't do anything and then she started straining and crying so made me think she was constipated. She gets constipated from time to time and squats really hard to get it out.
She hasn't pooped like she usually does during this week so it must have got worse
Gave her some lactalose and she pooped 3 times in one day! One one of them on the potty too.
Today she pooped on the potty normally too. She knows she needs to release there now i think it may take a while to master it.
Just keeping an eye on this for now.

Also she's putting down her own pants if they are loose but does sometimes ask for help.
She starts full time nursery in sept and I wonder how it will go then and with pulling down tighter clothing like leggings.
We went out for lunch today and took her on arrival and when we left the house and she did great. No accidents. Poop and wee in toilets

@YukoandHiro hi yes it's day 7 now and she's cracked the wees just trying to master the poos
