| When potty training josh i didn't push it, i waited til he was roughly 2 1/2 ish & just left the potty in the room we lived in all the time, Left him nappyless at home & just kept saying do you need to wee, sometimes whilst playing he would wee so i would just grab his potty & hold it under him whilst he stood weeing, then i'd show him the wee wee & say good boy for weeing on the potty even though it was mid flow , he very very quickly started saying i need to wee & although it was literally as he sprinkled he realised to tell me so it was a race to grab the potty for him to sit or stand over. The weeing we cracked within that week but pooing oh that took time he kept asking for a nappy on & at 1st i gave in but then thought this isn't helping & i just said nope if you need to poo you can sit on your potty. Ok so we had accidents but who doesn't , but the 1st time he poo'd on his potty he was so proud of himself it changed everything so much he was already proper dry during day so as soon as the pooing was cracked i left him nappyless for bed & going out during day. I found leaving it til he was just a tad older (nearly 3)so easy than watching my friends trying to potty train their younger kids, he understood me better & could talk back better, We had no hassle & compared to watching my friends get angry & complain constantly that there kids weren't getting it ..well obviously they were to young or just not ready.
If she says she wants a nappy on then just say no you need to wee wee on the big girl potty now, & ask her if she needs to wee or does she want to sit on it. The fact she'll sit on it anyway is good she isn't worried about it but its a big thing for them to learn its ok to wee/poo in a nappy now we tell them no. Just go 1 day at a time & dont rush her xxx |
