Okay, so my daughter is 2.5 years old and we've started potty training on Monday (5 dsys in currently). Her new keyworker gave us every confidence and we took her a potty in on Monday - Wednesday. Nursery said she did really well, but she did have about four changes of wet clothes. Yesterday we saw it properly for ourselves as I was off: she was holding wees and getting very worked up and upset - holding herself down below, hopping for about 30-45 minutes, sometimes crying all while either sitting on the potty for a mere minute or flatly refusing to sit on it. That being said we did manage two wees without too much fuss. Today it was worse. One successful wee in the potty and even more worked up despite us remaining very calm with her, encouraging and praising her when she went (she really loves her sticker chart!). We spoke to friends who said she just might not be ready and advised stopping and trying again, which we've discussed and think could be a good course of action. We are also travelling with her in about 4 weeks time for a week and dont want it to be super stressful for her. But now we've put the nappy on her and she is still grabbing herself and hopping about a bit and moaning occasionally so im worried that she can't distinguish between it being soaked up in her nappy. Have we royally messed this up already? Is taking a break a good course of action, any other parents with good tips for anxious littleuns? tia people!
