Hi good morning all,

I am a mom of two beautiful girl 5 and 2. My oldest daughter was each to potty train but my youngest has the concept of going to the bathroom she just doesn't and comes to me or her father and says mommy or daddy poop or pee which ever she did. But won't go to the bathroom and use the toilet. WHAT CAN I DO?

@ritschardrachel look at this I thought this was interesting 9 months?

My daughter Isabella just turned Two a week ago. Any tips or ideas on how soon I should start potty 🚽 training. She shows some interest, but don't want to push it. She does yell me or her dad that she has dirty diaper. Is that a sign that she may be ready? @smilingwithmyawesome4kids,

My son points and tries to take off his diaper when he has to pee but refuses to sit long enough on the potty. He is also too small for training pants or even regular toddler underwear. He is almost 2 and isn't even in size 4 diapers. He also is not verbally communicating. Is he still too young? He seems ready to potty train to me. He just gets easily distracted. He likes baths and gets distracted by the tub when he tries to potty. Would moving his potty to another room be more helpful? He also take a his toilet apart. What can I do to stop that?

My little one is 3 and I'm having a hard time getting her to go poop on the potty.

My baby girl is showing serious interest in the potty chair and had gone pee 7 times and pooped once. She loved the praise. Some family are giving me a hard time that we have started "early" and it will cause her issues. I wasn't anywhere near thinking about potty training but we got a potty chair from my mil that they has for their other granddaughter who is 4 now. I decided to clean it up and stick it in the spare room until ready well once I cleaned it she wanted to sit on it. So she sat and sat and got up came back we did this for about an hour than she peed in it and I praised her a LOT and she wants to sit all the time she dose get disappointed when she doesn't get praise for just sitting hahah. I did a little praise when she peed next to her potty because close enough and the thought counts right? Anywho I like that Im not the only one starting "young".

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids my daughter won't let me go to the bathroom without her and she always looks in the toilet but if I put her on it she immediately wants off. She pulls her diaper off as well. According to my boyfriend she took her diaper off yesterday and squatted on the floor but didn't potty at all

I tried the no underwear to underwear thing, the taking them to the potty every 15 minutes besides at bedtime it's before bed and first thing in the morning. And tried potty seats and little pottys

I have four in diapers my youngest is 11 months old so it would be nice if my boys got potty training down before she starts trying. Plus my oldest has one year before kindergarten and it's a must to be fully potty trained

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, so 15 months is ok? He is starting to pull his diaper off

It's varies yes my daughter was easier to potty train @shellymakuk92

@kelliamber a lot of parents give candy but I don't

@kelleycrew7362, Yeah that sounds like a good idea 💡

Hoe can I have my child show interest? I heard boys take longer than girls but he's ahead of schedule and six and half months now.

Also I know all kids are different my question is how to know if you're being too pushy or just the right amount if that makes sense I just don't want to make it more dramatic for her and end up delaying things @smilingwithmyawesome4kids,

@mothersjobneverdone realize potty training is exhausting but put him on the potty for 15 minutes and see how he does

@mothersjobneverdone, were in the same boat I have a two year old and a six month old. Let's start this journey together Snapchat ya lol. I'm maken a pee poop and sit chart to hang and put stickers on

@mommytofour2015 what have you tried ?

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, wise choice! It's not like me to have candy around- we only did bc of Easter. I've tossed the rest and she's doing pretty good. I have to laugh at myself a little...I obviously wasn't thinking real clear 🤷‍♀️

They work great @kelleycrew7362

I actually just made a sticker chart it worked so well with my son. We're taking this journey again this coming week send lots of positive thoughts @smilingwithmyawesome4kids,

I didn't reward with candy @kelliamber

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, she quickly figured out the reward system and kept going to the potty. Which was great except when woke up in middle of the night screaming for chocolate. All out tantrum for chocolate😳oops.

I have a 2yr. old and just had a new baby with the lack of sleep and my husbands work schedule I don't no how to fit in potty 🚽 training although he's very interested in the bathroom and buying Costco boxes of diapers and wipes for my 5 month old and him is getting expensive 💸💸.So I guess my question is what or how should I do it?

Hello I'm a mom of 5 kids My boys are having a difficult time getting the concept ages 4 and twin 2 year olds they do have minor delays but seem interested but just do go they will sit on the potty but we off and go in their diapers

I did a sticker chart with my older children @kelleycrew7362 what does she like ?

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, I have she sits there and nothing. I just ordered a potty book. Did you do a sticker board or anything

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, ☺️☺️

I will @manismommy1207 and you're welcome 🤗@manismommy1207

I also have 4 children. My husband works so potty training falls on me. I see you have older children. Get them to help you potty train your youngest. My oldest children clap their hands and praise their baby brother. They also tell him he is a big boy. @hotmessmom

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, please and thank you.

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, I try very hard but I have 4 other kids and my husband doesn't help much at all with anything 😱

I offer a potty training group on here if you would like I will add you @manismommy1207

@meg_falls16 trying to potty train before your child is able to sit up.

Your fine @masonsmom0609

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, I know. I'm trying.

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids i know that haha! Sorry if it was put outvthe wrong way

What age is too young to start potty training?

@masonsmom0609 I am not here to judge but here to provide tips .

Yeah I wouldn't worry about him sitting or standing yet @motherofboys17

@manismommy1207 you have to be consistently for potty training to work .

Oh okay well thank you its just easier cause that's how he sees mom doing it

@motherofboys17 I taught all 3 of my sons by them sitting down. I wouldn't worry to much now. My sons didn't start standing until they there 3 and 5 years old.

@lexirosex3 I don't to my son I clap my hands and I tell him he is a big boy

@lexirosex3 then your able to potty train your child.

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, 😄 will do!

@koreyamanda86 open that potty up and try

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, we are doing better, just have to get her up at night to use the bathroom. We are both heavy sleepers.

@manismommy1207 how is that going ?

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, oh ok

@manismommy1207 I took my son every 15 minutes including at night.

@kelliamber what happened with the reward system ?

@paueden2 I can't let my children run around naked .

@kelleycrew7362 have you tried to put her on her potty . After you change her diaper.

@hotmessmom consistently is the key to potty training.

@dannie992 my son would walk in on me and he would also pull his diaper off.

I took my son's potty chair in his room downstairs in the bathroom. @daradee01 you want your child to feel comfortable.

@daradee01 keep trying he will at first think its a drum but keep working with him.

I know this sounds weird but I have been teaching my son to go potty sitting down cause that's the only way he would he is 2 and he has been doing great so far and he has no accidents but now I'm trying to teach him how to stand up while doing it and I got the froggy urien thing. Any tips? Or should I not be worried about it?

@nicokeke keep taking her to the potty every 15 minutes to get her use to using the potty.

I wasn't asking for advice just commenting on the pull ups and bed and interfering with potty training myth

Do I just put her on a potty ?? Any words you say how many times a day

I Never give candy or anything like that. I did a sticker chart once they went all week dry. They can choose something to do. I did big rewards once they went all month without having accidents.

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, I have my child is a heavy sleeper and sleep walker.

@ashleydunn try to cut her liquids off a few hours before bed. My 7 year old has accidents too it's because of his medicine. So we cut the liquids off a few hours before bed and he is dry in the morning.

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, she does since 7 months.

@lexirosex3 at soon as your child is able to sit up unassisted is good to try.

@lizfelico pull ups can confuse the child thinking it's a diaper.

@alexsisjenkins I also co sleep and I would recommend a waterproof pad in case she has a accident.

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, any suggestions on how to start? We have a baby potty ready just haven't opened it yet

@thebossmom since they are different ages I would recommend potty training them different. If they like a favorite show let them watch .

What have you tried @proudmommy_0320

Exactly @lizfelico that's why I waited until my children showed interest. I Never forced potty training on them. Good advice 😎

Sounds like time for potty training @koreyamanda86 my son was the same way. Once he showed interest I started working with him.

My son is going to be three in june. He has been very off and on. He knows when he has to go he just chooses not to. Judge if you may but i fo not use pull ups. We will frequently use undies but he feel he can go in the undies so i allow him to go pantsless for the first few times then turn to the undies

@daraaaaalyn5 teach them both at the same time . I know with twins they have that what one does then I will try attitude. At least that how my twin nephews are.

@lizfelico did you praise him when he went pee in the potty. Children love praises

@c.shanice you can try now there is a mother in my potty training group who is currently potty training her son he is 7 months. Just be understanding there will be accidents. Don't yell or whoop your child.

I didn't know that when I had my first

@tashamagolan Yes it is best to avoid pull ups since they are like diapers. I didn't use pull ups with my 4 children. I wanted them out of diapers not in.

@monica.apodaca0513 she showed interest so I started working her.

@kdcmommy26 you let the day care know your potty training and you provide pull ups and extra clothes

@p0790 the best time is when they are able to sit unassisted and give them a book or a toy to play with. My son loves Mickey Mouse so I put Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on for him.

@smilingwithmyawesome4kids, I'm trying to take her every 15-30 minutes. I just stop that and let her tell me when she has to go to the bathroom. She will tell me that she has to go but then sometimes she doesn't go.

@manismommy1207 how often do you take your child to the potty?

@kaguirre what have you been doing ?

I can attest to #4 we did that and man I regret that little reward system...we're doing better but it more of a challenge with our 2nd child

Let her be naked

My two year old hates being in her wet diaper and tells me every time after she goes but still hasn't gone on the potty. Any tips are welcome

My 3 yr old does so well for awhile and then BAM he quits...and then he repeats the process all over again! Help!!!

How does a child show interest in the potty?

I'm having issues with two kids cause we have a very small bathroom lol both potties won't fit working on my nephew and my youngest daughter at the same time

@thebossmom matter of fact. That is what his dad suggested. I really do need to heed his advice more

It is the the bathroom but I will trying going with him in the bathroom. Thanks

@daradee01, I would suggest putting it in the bathroom and having him sit on it whenever you go to the bathroom

What is a good way to introduce the potty and start training? My baby thinks the potty is something to bang on

My oldest stopped wetting the bed about a year after she was potty trained during the day it helped to stop giving her drinks an hour before bed time

Forgot to add my daughter has been trained since 2.5^^

@lizfelico, thanks
