Help

[Tashley]

Help - my little girl is 2 n half , she will tell you she needs a wee do a wee in her nappy but as soon as the potty or toliet comes into play she will literally hold her self until she's back in pull up or nappy, I've tried everything my other 2 girls weren't this hard . Someone help

Have you tried a reward chart? Worked wonders with my LO.

Yeah she literally wouldn't do anything without a sticker

She's too smart I put her in pants yesterday to try , got her paw patrol pants to see if that worked told her not to pee pee on sky sky likes it when you go potty she held herself for 4 hours till I put her in a nappy and she peed and went oh mummy I did a pee laughed and ran off

My experience: Have you done much build up? Books about going on the toilet, talking about toilets, "look at your big sister, all grown up using the toilet", buying whichever hideous new pants she likes in Tesco? I did about 2 weeks of this, then the night before said it was happening tomorrow. Make sure she drinks loads then put her on toilet /potty every half hour with chocolate button reward/sticker/both for trying and two for producing. Worked in about 3-4 days to be reliable enough to leave the house.

Well on the plus side she has great bladder control
There's no point getting into a battle of wills with a toddler. I'd just leave it for now and maybe she'll decide she's ready of her own accord soon.

She sounds ready if she can hold for 4 hours! So it's a battle of wills - throw out daytime nappies with her watching maybe? Then you'll both know they are not an option. And give her whatever she'll drink lots of - a day of squash won't hurt even if she normally drinks water.

OK, cross post with opposite advice!

Honestly ladies I've done potty charts , let her come loo with me and she says oh your doing a pee pee on the big toliet mummy big girl and I'll go yes I am and you can be a big girl too if you used the toliet or your special potty ( which is the one she choose ) and she says oh not me , nursery are even helping me because she'll run and get staff for kids that are potty training and say they need to go but she's decided it's not her job , we've bought paw patrol pepper pig even got boys dinosaurs pants , tried potty charts , we don't allow sweets , but I'll try with fruit while she sits on it , definitely try binning the day time pull ups , my other 2 girls were so much easier to do this with my eldest took to it in one day my middle girl she took 2 days , but my little lady will happily sit on the potty for ages and literally do nothing .
