Literally at my wit's end with my daughter. We have had her fully potty trained for the last year and just recently, like the last 3 weeks, she has not wanted anything to do with going to the bathroom in public. I sit her on the toilet after fighting her and she sits there and screams and cries reaching out to me. Idk what to do anymore, I'm ready to bang my head against the wall. It's making me stressed and kind of depressed I guess. Any help or tips?

My daughter was the same way she eventually grew out of her fear the more she was around the toilets like that.
Eta: I realize my comment offers no help sorry, what we did to help her was carry one of those portable seat adapters and slow stop using them. She has been fine since even on our 17 hour drive to Florida.
My second daughter has had no issues with either toilet seat.

I'm just really confused because she had been going anytime anywhere no matter what kind of toilet.

@kaitrack23 we have an extra seat but it's a hassle to try to carry it because we don't use a diaper bag anymore. She ends up going pee in her pants.

@kaitrack23, her fear was falling in and automatic flusher so I covered the flusher every time I wouldn’t use the adapter and calmly talked to her while she went. I was frustrated at first and that seemed to make things worse. So I just stayed calm and reassured her she will not fall in.

My 6 year old won't go on a public toilet. She will sit but has only peed maybe once or twice on one. Kids are super finnicky about things.

My daughter was the same way in public. We got this and it has helped so much!! It folds up and comes with a bag and I just keep it in her bag. She’s finally getting to where she will go in public without it again.

I might have to try that. Might be easier to carry around since we don't use a diaper bag

@kaitrack23, it’s pretty small once folded up. I usually keep it in my purse unless we are going to be gone most of the day then I’ll take her bag just in case of a accident.

Thank you!
