I am looking for a little help on the best way to potty train a 2 year old. She just seems to have no interest in learing. Is there a magic trick that I am missing?

The best thing is just patience. Some kids are just not interested at 2 and there's nothing wrong with that if you push it she will just dislike the idea more. Have you tried something like pull ups where she can feel when she's wet and you can say something like oh, don't you want to wear your pretty pink big girl panties?

We are actually using the pulls up. We use them at both home and daycare. And the daycare is also working with her. I try not too push her too hard about it. But other mothers have gave me the feeling that this should be done by now. But I'm an only child and she is my first and only so I'm not sure what the norm is.

That's your problem right there-- Pull ups are the worse thing that's ever happened to potty training. Throw them out. Get "big girl" panties and plastic overpants for when you're out and just deal with it.

That might be hard to do in daycare, but as long as you're using a diaper, and lets face it--a pull up is nothing more than a cheap diaper--you're going to hinder the process.

I'm going to agree with LeighA. Having patience is the best thing you can do right now. You can introduce her to the concept of using the potty but if she isn't ready...she isn't ready and no amount of coercing will change that. If you really want her trained by 3 just keep watching for signs that she is ready and work with her at those times.


izzybellmom (4)   ranked 2,795 out of 6,529 in mother  3 years ago

Well she is a little head strong lady just like her mother. But I am guessing that most 2 year olds are this way. Patience is the key. So is lots of love and a very good sense of humor.

I would not worry about potty training right now. She is only 2. Try again in a few months. When she is ready you will be amazed at how easy it is.

If she isn't interested I wouldn't push it! My daughter was potty trained not long after she turned 2, but with my little boy he has good and bad days. He is 2 1/2 and not even close to being completely potty-trained. My daughter was just up to learn anything so it was super easy with her, but not all kids are that way!! I would get her a potty chair and ask her about going in her big potty and see if she wants to try it out, but if she doesn't than wait and ask her again in a month or something like that.

If she's not interested, she's not ready. When she is ready you will know because she will be uncomfortable in a wet diaper, talk about having to go or tell you when she went, and show an interest in being in the bathtroom and using the toilet. When she is ready, it will be much easier and less stressful on you both. I suggest waiting. In the meantime you can let her come in the bathroom when you go, let her sit on the potty chair with her clothes on, and talk about it some with her.

Hi!!
I have two children, all grown up.
The best way to get a child potty trained, is to let the child be.
Don´t get angry when the child wets.
Just laugh a little and say "it´s your own fault.
Now your all wet, what shall we do now?"(Shower and change of course. But, not to fast and not to slow)
Childeren expect you to react. And reaction means attention.
Attention even when it´s negative is attention for a child.
Try not to make a big deal of it.
And when you see you child make an effort in the right direction.Give the child a reward. Nothing big, a cookie or a big hugh. Tell the child your proud of her/him.
This is what I found to be the best advise.
Success,
Margajoe

Aloha! There really is no right age to potty train. My sons both started very early, my oldest just decided when he was 1 1/2 that he was big enough and did it all on his own.

My daughter is taking a bit longer but she is getting there. She just turned 3 and is doing great with pull ups, but I found that using real under wear actually makes her conscious of going to the toilet.

Maybe try putting her in real underwear for small amounts of time during the day and steadily increase the amount of time throughout the day. Best of luck to you!

I think all kids do this at their own speed. By kindergarten you won't be able to tell who walked/talked/potty trained early or late. They all start at about the same spot.

Have her teach her favorite stuffed animal or doll to go in the potty. (Dr. Phil show)

I was given a bad time because I hadn't started my oldest daughter at age 18 months. Because I tried to rush it, she didn't get totally potty trained until she was about 3 1/2. I wish I would have waited, and did with my other kids. Each one of my kids became interested at a different age. I have 6 kids and quite honestly none of them wet their pants in High school.
