potty training

I say don't train her, let her train herself. She's showing interest and that's a good sign. Now have her follow you into the potty as usual and when you sit on the potty encourage her to sit on there or just let her do her thing and get used to seeing the potty. She'll catch on just by watching you it'll take some time as 13 mo's is very very early. But don't push her if you push they will regress and be in diapers longer. Just compliment them and make a big deal of things they do in relation to potty training, she brings you wipes & diaper emphasize her manners by saying thank you and that the diaper is wet & yucky feeling. Make a big deal out of if she goes go potty in the potty even just sitting. Waving buy bye to the potty & allow her to flush the potty was & is a hit with my kids. My oldest was done by 3.5yrs, my middle day & night by 2yrs old (though she did regress for a couple weeks when she got the flu), and now I'm working on my lil guy who's 26mo's. So far he's doing well as long as he's naked he'll sit on the lil potty and bring me the potty cup to flush when he's done & he's quite persistant about it. I just need to work on him pulling his pants up and down, otherwise he pee's in them. Afterall spider man doesn't like getting wet. It takes time I'll be proud if he's done by summer as boys are harder to train and take longer they say. But I think it depends on the kid.

My daughter started using the potty about 19 months old...she will now be 3 on April 26 & she is still training...I have gotten to the stage where I am over her being lazy & using her daiper that whenever we are at home, I just put her in training pants & undies - she still misses going to the toilet more than she gets there on time - I can't wait till it's over...For me, I think it's hard potty training.

I think it is the right time for you to start potty training since she is already aware of what is supposed to be done when she potties now. I had a hard time potty training my daughter. You may not though, since she seems to be quite aware already.

Your daughter is showing some signs of readiness. She is still pretty young so she may not have enough control of her body to potty train. Training can be difficult, but if a child is really ready, and the parents and caregivers are consistent, it can go smoothly. Some more signs of her being ready are staying clean and dry in a diaper for long periods of time and being able to dress and undress herself- at least pull her pants up and down. I would introduce it, let her give it a try, but take it slow at first. It is common at that age to show interest, then totally lose interest again for a while. Give her the opportunity, but don't push it. If she is not ready, you will know.

My niece will turn 2 next week but she don't use potty yet..I tried train her but not successful..she just sit there for 10 sec but she didn't go..lol Maybe she's not ready yet or maybe I don't know how to train her...

I started potty training my kids as soon as they started walking. My son potty trained really fast fast no problem he loved it it made him feel like a big boy. Now my daughter was a different story she wanted to use the potty but when she would sit and start she would jump up and start screaming. I would hold her in my arms and comfort her and she would look at the potty and just cry I couldnt figure it out. Then one day she says to me mommy can I use big potty so i said sure put her on and there she went no problems after that. I asked her whats wrong with the little potty she said mommy the little one makes noise when I potty. Every time she would tinkle a little bit would hit her tushie and thats why she would scream. lol;)

HI, I also have 21 months... the early you start the fast she learns... my kid is hard... sometimes she tells and sometimes she doesn't. but everytime, mostly at home... she will tell me when she wants to use bathroom... but when im on the road or going out, she never do but piss only(diaper still on her) She is barely do when im going out of the house. It could be a good thing but I want her to tell me everytime she wants to do. lolz... at home, whenever she makes a mistake by do on her diaper then she said... her diaper is no good, smelly... hahhah then I know

I am the last person you should ask, because my gal is 2 1/2 and still rely on diapers. She is still going on with her training.

SHE IS READY!!! =] my niece was doing the same things. She HAD to go into the bathroom with us everytime we had to go. She always wanted to watch and then HAD to flush for us :) She then started saying "EWWW" when she would go potty in her diaper and take it off. She was aware of what was happening. Now, she is two and lets us know when it is potty time and makes us go into the bathroom with her and sit on the floor and when she is done we clap and make it a big deal. I say, if your baby is ready, listen to them. Not every child will be the same. This is a great question. I hope I have helped you in some way. I am not a mom yet, but a proud Aunt. You are so blessed to have a child. =] happy potty training!

It sounds like your daughter is about ready to start with her potty training. As for me, I haven't been that lucky with either of my children. My daughter was just over three years old when I was able to get her potty trained and my son is following in his sister's footsteps as far as age. I think the issue that I've had with both of my children is just that they are stubborn when it comes to things like that. As far as potty training stories go, my daughter was in daycare when I was trying to potty train her and our daycare provider was not on the same page as us. She actually told me on the last day that my daughter went to daycare that we weren't to bring her back until she was wearing diapers again (needless to say she never went back) and the following day we sent her to a friend's house in underwear and she only had a few accidents after that.

Hey Looks like your little girl is all set to start with her training.My daughter was nearly 3 till she started telling me.It was funny as she used to use the toilet seat for the Number 1s but when it came to Number 2s she used to bring her diaper so that she can releive herself.But then I started this trend of rewarding her with a chocolate everytime she successfully uses the pot.It has been a welcome relief that she is fully trained now and goes on her own now.
