I need to figure out how to potty train my 2 year old this is driving me crazy every time take her to the restroom she throws a fit and cries. She will not use the potty and keeps going on herself.
@kekoa92, no please don’t feel bad people think they know all the answers and what’s best for your child when truly only mom know what’s best and if she’s not ready and you are not either don’t worry about it you child your rules. Every single child is different. If you try when she’s not ready your going to have many many accidents and stress about it but if you do it when you Both are ready it will go smoothly. With my son I didn’t know what I was doing one day I put him in underwear and told him what was going on he never had one accident not even at night but my daughter was a different story I think I pushed it on her too soon she took for ever to be potty trained I didn’t
Know it back then that she wasn’t ready. It was a struggle so with my 3rd when I see that he is ready I’ll try but never force them. Stay positive one day she will be ready and so will you
My family pressured me too with my daughter, but I ignored them, b/c when I tried she didn’t want too and she would get constipated . So I stoped listening and eventually she went on her own and she told me she had to go potty. Also it wasn’t a big deal having to change both of their diapers. Lol I’m doing it again right now.
@kekoa92, your baby your rules just let them know you’ll handle it when it comes and some kids aren’t ready early on my niece was 4 when she finally got potty trained it’s not that either parent or child is lazy but the just are not ready it will happen when it happens
@kekoa92, if your not ready and she’s not ready then don’t do it. It’ll temporarily traumatize her trying to make her do it and her freaking out like that. It’ll prolong it even more. Since you don’t want to then just don’t I’d wait a little bit more until you want to try and then try doing it
If your not ready and she not ready don’t let other people tell u what to do only you know what right for your child just tell them your not buying her diapers I am if they want to be rude about it
Some kids r late starters did you try the reward system? Mine was on mm for pee and two mm for going number 2 take them to the potty every 20 minutes or so and even if the don’t go tell them nice try next time maybe go out with her and let her pick out her own potty chair and place it next to the bathroom
@kekoa92, I know in my state kids have to be potty trained before entering preschool or head start but personally wise say you aren’t doing head start and if it were my kid I wouldn’t even bother however it sounds like a must SO maybe get her her own potty that sits in the floor? If she doesn’t already hav done anyway. They have ones that look exactly like real toilets with a tank and bowl and everything it has a flush handle that makes the sound of flushing when used and the tank holds wipes. The big potty might scare her and that could be why she’s freaking out when you take her. Give rewards for trying and big rewards for actually going pee or poop. Like a sticker for trying and sucker for actually going. Make it fun make a big deal out of it and be excited maybe google a potty song that’s fun and energetic.
@noahs.mommy that's what I'm thinking but I wanted her to be out of pull up before I have my second child on July 23 and everyone keeps telling me she needs to be potty training because she gonna be 3 years old in October also hopefully in headstart.
Know it back then that she wasn’t ready. It was a struggle so with my 3rd when I see that he is ready I’ll try but never force them. Stay positive one day she will be ready and so will you
