Started training DD yesterday she only turned 2 Monday, I thought she was ready but now I’m wondering whether it’s still too early (I know it’s only been 2 days). Over the past month or two she’s been telling me she’s doing a wee or she’s done a poo so thought we’d give it a go & I thought this could be a sign she is ready.
She’s been left naked bottom half since yesterday morning (apart from naps & night time) & we’ve had quite a few accidents, she’ll either hold it for ages until she’s bursting or she’ll sit on her potty & start going but then gets scared & stops half way doing one. When I’ve seen her start to go i quickly put her on the potty, give her lots of praise when she continue’s & reward her at the end. She does tell me she needs a ‘weewee’ but when putting her on the potty she doesnt do one, she’ll just get straight back up. I know she definitely needs one as though she keeps holding her minnie.
I sit her on the potty lots & try to read books with her or put the television on but she won’t stay there.
I trained DD1 when she was 2.5 so was a bit older, I can’t remember much of it really though. I know she barely had any accidents though.
I appreciate it was always going to be more difficult the younger she is but I just wanted to know whether there is anything I should be doing or do I keep at it or stop & try again in a few months?
