How do I potty train my 2 year old?

My advice would be to purchase a nice sturdy potty chair. Bring it home, put it in the bathroom and don't say anything. She'll be very curious about it. If she asks about it, tell it's hers and if she wants to use it she can. With little pressure, she may just do it on her own. When she goes for the first time on the potty, reward her by taking her to pick out her "big girl" panties. Pull-ups are much like diapers. And while they make potty training less messy, they don't make it happen any quicker.

And don't get upset if it takes a while. If she just turned 2, it could take many more months. They all train at a different pace. My daughter was fully trained at about 2 years and 9 months. My son was just over 3. But I know a 4 year old boy who still isn't trained (that's pretty extreme though), and a girl who was trained just before she turned 2. So there is no magic age.

That's my two cents! Hope it helps! Good luck . . .

Every child is different. And no matter how fast you want them to get potty trained, it's not going to happen until they are ready, there is no pushing them.
For my son when he was 2, he wanted one of those battery operated john deeer gators, so we set up a sticker chart and told him if he wanted the gator he had to get potty trained, after all it is a big boy toy. And it still took about 6 months of doing well, and doing not so well. but he eventually got the hang of it and got his gator. This did not work for my daughter, for her it was her clothes, so we let her pick out her very own big girl panties, first letting her wear them over her diapers until she started getting stickers up on her chart, then letting her wear just the panties, the first time she wet in them, we threw them away. She's been very careful not to wet in them since. But I didn't start focusing on potty training until, they were staying dry through the night, and I'd set up a day where I could set the timer for 30 minutes, when the timer sounds take them in to use the potty. Set the timer again for 30 minutes. and take them back in. If they use the potty both times, but the diaper was still wet with in that 30 minute time frame, they are not ready for potty training. But if their bodies can hold it for longer periods of time, get some stickers and reward them for doing good...good luck!!!

My little girl will be 2 in May. I haven't started to potty train her yet. But I saw an advertisment for some Pull-Ups that get cold when they go in their diapers. It's supposed to to make them want to go to the potty before they pee, to avoid getting a cold butt!! I think it is a clever idea. It's a little discomforting, which is why kids don't like it. But it isn't near cold enough to cause any harm. I actually think that I will try them. Knowing my baby, she'll go pee in them and she won't care about it being cold!:o)

when my daughter was ready to potty train we used the sticker chart technique. every time she would go she'd get a sticker to put on the chart and when she finished her entire chart she got a present.

You need to potty train when your child shows you signs. Not because you want him to be or when someone else wnats him to be. I have a 2 year old that is showing signs (wants to be changed, knows how to use the potty, can take clothes on and off, etc...) of wanting to be potty trained. He is very stubbern though! We have put him in pullups during the day and diapers at night. Encouraged him to go and tell us when he has to go. He refuses to take the lead! I have even tried puttin ghim in regular underwear so he can really feel the wetness - doesn't bother him. If we tell him to go sit on the potty he will go - and has even number 2 in there twice! You just have to keep trying and "plugging away" Unfortunately I have found there is nothing you can do to force a child to become trained. My daughter was in pull ups for over a year. Then one day she just decided it was time to move to the potty and panties. Hopefully this helps - I know it's not answers that you were probably looking for - but no one has those answers. If they did all the kids would be trained at birth!:) At least I hope this helps you feel better and to know you are doing the right things.

A good idea is to go with her, kinda show her that you do it too, I know it may sound gross, but it works!
Anyway, since she just turned 2, you still have time. First she needs to be able to control and realize when she needs to go, that's about her phisycal maturity, and they reach it aroung the 2nd year, so you're right on schedule!
You can start taking the dipers off from time to time, so it gradually. She will probably first learn how to go no 1, and then no 2 is the most important step. But you should take it slowly.
It's great your starting now, that way you have time to do it gradually! good luck!

You could try to let her wear panties while you are home after she starts going. have you tried the seats on top the toilet? make sure shes ready my daughter was almost 3 before she actually potty trained.

Just keep reminding her. Sit her down on the toilet even if she doesn't have to go. My niece is also 2 she knows to let us know when she needs to go. She wears pull ups. A good time to take her is right when she wakes up! My niece wakes up with a dry diaper and my mom sits her down right away and she goes pee pee...

I just took my niece to the bathroom. She poo pooed...I know she's not done...but at least she did a little in the bathroom. A good thing to do when they are sitting on the toilet is make noises...i think a reason my niece likes us to take her is because we joke around while she is in there...so then she likes to go.

HMMM, This is a good one!
My daughter, I recall was also very relunctant. I had almost given up until I used her ego against her! I bought some really frilly, girly panties. I proceeded to rant and rave about how beautiful and special these little panties are! (really haming it up!) "Only a special, beautiful princess can wear these"! She put them on. The first few tries, she wet a little, and I only acted a little sad- no heavy guilt trips here- She then became so concerned with not wetting her beautiful "princess panties" that she would literally run from where ever she was to the restroom!

just observe her movements or expression before doing potty or after like my neibhours son, before doin potty he stand on any place till potty will be over
