My daughter is only about 22 months but she seemed intererested in it several month ago so I bought the potty. I have not been pushing hard at it yet but I need to so hopefully she is trained by next March when my next baby is due. I haven't done any rewards other than what a BIG girl comments. What has motivated her some is even buying the pullups. She loves to where princess pants. She does pretty well in the morning for me or the babysitter but after her nap she doesn't want/ask to go. Just this last weekend was the first time she went poop in the potty and told me before hand. I have also on the weekend (since I am home) put here in real princess toddler underwear and we do ok for a while then she has an accident and I put on pullups. In the afternoon if she is not doing well at all with going potty then she has to put on Mickey Mouse (diapers) which she does like to much. Hope this helps some. Pull ups are also wonderful for mom to get them off and on.

hi
i started to try her(carissa) on the potty before her second birthday but that didn't work out to well.so i gave up and just left the potty in the bathroom.see i thought at the time that see could have been ready she would always come with us to the washroom ,give us the toilet paper,she even would flush the toilet for us.she would like to tell us that she went to the washroom in her diaper number 1 or 2.plus with haveing a baby soon i thought this was the time to start that way it would be done and over with by the time baby #2 would get here.i was wrong she was not ready and i was to busy or to sick to be with her trying to pee in the potty.so we stoped.
then we had the baby(alexa).now i had to juggle both girls was my new goal.but alexa is not sleeping though the night like carissa did when she was a baby.so that pushed back potty training again.then not to long after alexa was born my MIL came down from greece.i was not going to start carissa potty training with her here and now that she is gone,here i go and i'm not stoping this time she needs to get out of diapers once and for all.
so to sum it up this 3rd time around we are now almost two weeks into it.
i know she hates it.she would like to play or watch tv but i need her to do this.i have put the chart of stickers beside her potty and every time she goes on she counts them.then when she comes to a blank box she ask me for a stickers and i say to her not untill u go to the washroom.
i hope this gets better soon and i wish u all the luck in the world.i know how hard it is when u have one on the potty and the other one wants to be feed.
i will let u know how things are going and if i change anything.
let me know how things are going on your end and if u come up with anything new that may work better.

Your problem sounds like what i'm about to begin going through. My daughter is about to turn two. Next Saturday actually (Sept). As well as it being her second birthday its the due date of my son. I wear that was not planned belive me. So what i have to say is that i was trying to figure out where i should begin w/ my daughter and you have given me some really great ideas. How long have you been at it w/ your daugher. Does she give any indications as to when she is going pee in her diaper or just poop .

Hi
My daughter just turned 2 years old in June.My husband and I are ready to start potty trianing her.We know that she knows when she is going b/c as soon as she has done it she tells us and then ask for a diaper change.She is not crazy about sitting on the potty.she cries for the first couple of minutes but then she is happy after she goes.We have a chart for to put stickers on.She gets a big stickers for if she goes to the washroom in the potty and a small one for if she tries to go but nothing happens.She also gets a M&M if she goes to the washroom in her potty.Also after she gets 10 stickers we take her to get a new toy or a treat(just something small).
For now we are only getting her to go on the potty first thing in the morning,after her nap,and just before bed.I give her some milk and a book to read to keep her busy so that way she will stay there.I also sit with her and sing and read to her too.We also take her off if nothing happens after 20 minutes.
So I ask to the mother out there who have done potty trianing or who are doing it now:
1)Am I starting her the right way?
2)Are stickers and M&M's a good reward or should I try something else?
3)How do I know when to go from the 3 times a day on the potty to more?
4)Once she starts going on the potty more often how long should I wait in between?
5)Just any tips u have would be great.
I also forgot to tell u that I also am trying to do all this and still take care of my 2 month old daughter who eats every 3 hours.
So any help would be great
