I have been trying to train leah and the other day I put knickers on her and said no more nappies and well for 3 days she cried and screamed (yes non stop) I gave in because if I didnt and she kept crying then I would have killed her because the screaming was getting to me. She wa screaming till she made herself sick and crying and moaning all day.
I am going to leave it for a while.
I havnt a clue what I am doing maybe thats why she is screaming because I havent a clue and she knows.
She just wasnt responding to praise and love and affection. when she did wee I made a big deal of it and said how clever she was for weeing in her potty but it just made her scream louder. I tried a star chart she just wasnt interested.
Leah is 2 and 4 months she cant go to nursery till she is trained and I think she will benefit from it alot. (there is a nursery near me that takes them for the morning and 2 and 3 months if they are out of nappies)
Its so fustrating

Hello
That's such a shame the nursery won't take them until they're potty trained. Is there another nursery you could ask? My LO has been at nursery from 9 months so they take them obviously in nappies.
You did the right thing giving in. All that screaming! Arrrrgggghhhh!
I'm still going through potty training ... it is taking ages! And a lot of the time I wish I'd never started it, so much washing. My LO responds briefly to incentives and then just isn't bothered so I now need to keep thinking up new incentives and am kind-of running out of ideas. But today I thought I could buy him a comic each week and only let him read it when he's on the potty - that way it is something new regularly and maybe he'll want to go on the potty. We'll see after I've been to the shop tomorrow.
Good luck when you try again!
FloBob

Hi Kirsty
The thing I think with kids is they are just either ready or not and there is no point in oushing them with it as it just makes it harder for them. Perhaps you could try putting her in proper pants once a week or something until she decides it is for her? She is still quite young so i dont think it is anything to worry about it at all.
How odd that the nursery will only take them if they are potty trained?? Never heard that before!

the most important thing is to make sure she is ready, cavans only just in pants during the day and hes 3 in a couple of weeks  i know how you feel i felt the same way, i was putting so much pressure on myself coz cavans friend has been in pants for months (but hes always wet and cavans dry in the day now). im glad now i left it "late" as cavan has been able to tell me when he needs to go and can go on command before we go out anywhere. have just realised i made my DS sound like a hound dog so ill stop there but try not to worry, she'll get it eventually |

I'm reviving this thread as I've been training R over the weekend and it's been mostly good with some accidents. The main problem is that she is deliberately weeing on the floor and pooing in her knickers! I know she's weeing on the carpet deliberately as she laughs afterwards  and also the Little Princess potty book shows the little princess weeing on the floor - what bloody bright spark decided that was a good thing to put in there!!!! The pooing thing is on purpose as well I think but it's more that she DOES NOT want to go on the potty or on the toilet, I've been refusing to put a nappy on her so she gives me the slip and hides somewhere to do it quick - the kid is like sodding Houdini Stickers have not helped. She's 2 and 7 months so any tips, however strange, will be gratefully accepted |

Hi Siany
I am crap at this sort of stuff as am just thinking about potty training myself, but as a thought could you put her back in nappies? Explain that as she is unable to go to the toilet properly yet she will have to have nappies instead of big girls pants? That might annoy her and spur her into doing it properly to get in the big girl pants?
Prob not my best idea, I am certainly no Dr Tanya Byron!! LOL

she wants a reaction, so dont give her one. get her involved in clearing it up. the novelty will soon wear off if shes the one clearing up! the trouble is once you have them in pants, it sends mixed messages to them when u put them back in nappies. i know its a pain but you will get there. like i said, she wants a reaction, so stay strong and for gods sake get rid of the bloody book, its obviously a load of rubbish lol! keep her in pants, you will soon recognise when she needs to go, and she will soon get bored of having them wet and dirty x

Cheers Caz - I'm going with your advice and hoping for the best. She had a fairly successful day in nursery yesterday with a couple of accidents which is good for Day 5. Day 6 has started well with her going to the potty ON HER OWN as soon as she got up, pulling her pj's down and weeing on the potty. She also tried to do the same later with a number 2 but missed the potty - still, 10 out of 10 for realising she needed to go and trying to get there ;D WG - she wants the nappies back - that's the problem I have let her pick knickers though so she is now torn between locating the hidden nappies and wearing her new knickers |
