Oh Crap - she's just not getting it. Disaster!

[Swearwolf]

I could cry. We've been doing the Oh Crap method since Friday and she's still not getting it. She knows when she needs to go and she started so enthusiastically, but she'll now only sit on the potty on her own terms, and it's never when she actually needs to. She was back at the childminders today and didn't do a single wee in the toilet, had two big accidents. Came home and said she needed a poo, refused to get on the potty, stripped off then waited until I went to run the bath before pooing on the floor. The childminder wants her in a pull up tomorrow (with pants inside). I'm gutted it's gone so wrong, it started so promisingly. Do I need to stop and start again or do we persevere? I really do think she's ready - she's capable of learning and she understands what's happening. She's 2 and 2 months.

Well this gives me hope!

We tried the OHPT method with my DD (almost 3), we had 2 weeks of it and made very little progress apart from both her and me in tears regularly! She was very proud the few times she actually pee'd in the potty but as time went on she grew more and more resistant.

We decided to take a break and hoping to try again in the next few weeks, wish us luck!
