Mine was trained by 1⌠She walked at 8 months going to 9⌠I would just put her there till she peed then she could leave⌠She hated sitting so she would pee immediately to get up
I know this is difficult but all three of mine were trained before they were two. I believe the earlier you start the easier it would be. Having said that my first boy was the hardest, 2nd easiest but he wet the bed the longest 3rd a girl was also easy, trained by 18 months.
Leave her alone. Sheâll be interested when sheâs ready my daughter we had a year of torturing ourselves and her when she turned 2 because we thought she should start. She became potty trained 2 weeks after turning 3âŚour son, we left alone. Didnât bother to potty train. He basically asked for the potty himself somewhere during his second year simply because he wanted toâŚ
- donât force it or sheâll be so anxious it will take twice as long. Not good.
- read FUN potty books! Get a fun little training potty and let her decide where she wants to put it.
- when sheâs ready let her run around naked!!! Itâs super uncomfortable to pee or poop naked. It stops play, and they typically donât like it. My son ran to the backyard every time! Lol. Suddenly he just started running for the toilet.
My daughter had this problem with her two year,(almost three). She tried this and it worked, she took her every half hour and sat her on her potty chair for one day. No big girl panties on, and she had some accidents but overall it worked.she stills has an accident occasionally but she is doing great.
My pediatrician for my 6 kids told me sometimes they cannot actually recognize the signs of needing to go until theyâre 3. I forced my 1st child to potty train and he wet the bed until he was 8. The rest I waited and not long after their 3rd birthday they were using the potty.

Donât push it. The more you push, the longer it will take. She will when she is ready. Look for signs that she is ready, praise her for small steps, but donât punish for mistakes.

It would always ask mine regularly if she wanted to use the potty. She always said no. So I left it up to her to decide when she was ready. Eventually there came a time when she had a really loose bowel movement, and sharted an exorbitant amount of wet poop all down her pants up her back and every single crevice in between, and decided at that point she was ready to use the potty. We never looked back and we never had another issue. No bedwetting issues either. Sheâs been a rockstar ever since that shart 
My daughter was a little over 3 and we got her a potty chair and the kids toilet seat that fits over the toilet⌠So she felt like she had options and then bribed her with stickers⌠Anytime she used the toilet (or tried to at first) we would give her a sticker
What I did was i took my son out and let him pick out a really cool fire truck toy. And I told him if he wants it he had to start using the big boy potty. He started and I gave it to him like 4-5 days leter
I had my daughter pick out her own big girl undies. It helped her get excited to put them on. Then we started a little bit at a time with undies. Pullups didnât work for her. She treated them exactly like diapers. Eventually she was wearing underwear quite a bit and she did have a few accidents in her undies but she didnât like the feeling and before long she wanted to go on the potty more and more. I used âpotty treatsâ as a motivator. She would get a treat if she went pee or poo. I used twizzlers bites lol. If I kept her in pullups she would still be in pullups to this day. When we first got the undies I had her pick out her own little potty and when she got too big for that we picked out a potty ring. She still uses it and sheâs 4. Good luck and be patient 
We tried mine when he was around 3 and it just didnât work so when he was around 4 one day he came up to me and said mommy pee pee. We made a mad dash to the bathroom and he went. Still had some accidents but when they are ready they will tell u. Maybe wait just a little longer. 
My daughter turned 3 in January. When i got furloughed in March i said thatâs it no more diapers and just refused to allow her to have a diaper and she went! She knew. Sure weâve had a few accidents here and there but she knows when she has to go and she knew i meant business. I was tired of two in diapers i have a 15 month as well! Just be firm especially if you have worked on it and know they can do it!
My son didnât like potty also. I got special kids seat for toilet and he was ok with it going like adult
The biggest help for me was making diaper changes take longer. no toys during diaper changes but could hold a toy on the potty. I also used a toy they really wanted as a prize, i bought it and placed it in the bathroom where they could see it. That way the know it is there and want to earn it.
When it was time for my kids to potty training, I bought small toys and kept it in the bag every time they did business they got a toy and I had this toys bags in every house they went. I explained to them if they go in potty they get a toy. It worked for my kids well.
Look up âspuddieâ on amazon my son wouldnât use those potty seats either but now bc of the âspuddieâ he is fully potty trained!!

Rewards work well. I used chocolate since my granddaughter didnât get much of it when she was that little. Worked great! Had her potty trained in a week. Used the Hersheyâs miniâs and kisses.
Put her in underwear once she starts messing In them she might learn to use a potty? We have a potty seat and not a potty chair my daughter is 3 and she trained pretty quick, she was afraid for a while to go #2 but then finally did!
This may be a little unorthodox, but keep her bare butt in the house and Have The potty accessible. She will go when sheâs ready. Donât force the issue too much.
My daughter will be 5 on July 17 and still refuses she has to start school next year. She went for a little bit when we created a chart and once she filled it up she got a prize but she would never go on her own we had to ask her every 30 minutes that only lasted a little bit now we are back to square one and I have no idea what to do
Wait till sheâs ready, be patient. If you force her to try and go when sheâs not ready it could lead to her stressing and having constant accidents to even feeling shamed 
Not all kids will potty train easy, you will be tested. Donât force it when sheâs ready she will be good. I know that I tried hard with my son and it was difficult, stopped trying for awhile. Then one day I asked him and boom he kept it up. Only had 2 accidents, trained immediately. Itâs only a thought we all parent differently.
The more you push her to do it, the more she might resist. Relax, and let her tell you when sheâs ready. Youâll know when itâs time!
I was not good at the potty training thing I tried every trick known to man what I found work for my children for the boys I was potty trained in the summer this way I could put them in their underwear and they could hang out in the backyard all day once they learn that they could pee on stuff it became a huge game they loved it within a week they be potty trained the girls were definitely more difficult I had to wait until they were around 4 each so that I could actually talk with them and they can understand and communicate with me and I just told them youâre a big girl and itâs time for you to get ready to start for school big girls do not pee in their pants they were panties we went out bought a pair of panties and I took away the diapers and that was the end of it now mind you we have six boys and three girls do not stress yourself over every little thing you have to learn to pick your battles when you have kids some things are just not that deep diapers are not that expensive neither Pull-Ups sheâs going to get tired of wearing them especially if she gets to buy some cute little panties sheâs old enough to understand what youâre saying eventually she will stop wearing diapers cuz they want to be like all their friends and if their friends arenât wearing diapers they donât want to wear diapers donât stress everything will happen when itâs time
My daughter was scared of the potty get like a pretty light for the toilet and a seat she would adore make the bathroom all about her
Leave her alone until sheâs ready. Get a few " going potty" books and just casually talk about using the potty when your going to go, when daddy is going to go and eventually sheâll give it a go. If you push and try to force it with her screaming by just looking at it youll create an even BIGGER issue. You donât want her to become a âholderâ its absolutely terrible and can cause anxiety along with health issues( infections, severe constipation).
All I know is I didnât push it with any of my 3 and they all figured it out eventually. 17, 12 and 11 and they are all going to the bathroom on their own quite well. There are other things to stress over with being a mom. It will happen in all due time!!
Take her shopping, have her pick out her favorite character, âBig Girl Pants,â we mustnât soil our big girl pants. It worked for my kids.
Sheâs not ready yet. Simple as that. When sheâs ready itâll be easy to train her.

Try turning her around and give her some markers to write on the back of the toilet tank and praise her for what she does! Itâs worked out great for our last few grandkids 
My daughter was the same way. Then one day she woke up with a dry pull up and my husband was like wow good job! Letâs go on the potty! And she was just like sure ok. She peed and then just never wanted to go anywhere but the toilet again. It was weird. Like she REFUSED to potty train. I guess we just had to wait till she was ready and willing.
Relax and let it go. Sheâll do it eventually. Donât stress her or yourself. My boys were 3 and 4. I never mentioned it. One day they decided they were done with diapers. Potty training done. No stress, no shame, no problems.
I had one trained at 18 months, my 2nd child did not want to go at all. I bought the panties, even hung candy in the bathroom. She just did not want to do it. She was about 4 1/2 when I told her she could not go to school if she did not go o the potty and she decided she would go. My last one was potty trained by 2 1/2. All kids are different so donât freak out. It will happen in time.
I had a friend who put underwear on her child under the pull-up. She didnât like the wet feeling and the pull-up kept the pee from getting everywhere. Worked for her in no time.
My boy only potty trained coming to 3yo. He only started when I asked his teacher to help in the day and we train him when he is back home. In school he has peer pressure and when he is back home he will automatically go to potty. All the best and do go slow till your child is ready.
Wait. Not all children are the same. Plus you are the best one to know your child. If you are that worried, talk to her pediatrician. I wouldnât worry. I have 4 grown children and they all did things at different times.
She isnât ready the more you push the longer and harder it will be they have a book about training i will have to loom up name if you want it tells you to take a doll or have them take a doll and put on potty chair maki g a big deal about her or him going thenmove up to them sitting just sitting and getting comfortable with it
My youngest didnt want to potty train, so I made a big deal out of changing diapers when the toilet was so much easier. Put her on the pot and had her flush. She said, âthat is easierâ and never wore diapers again. Its your child, you will know what will work and what wont.
Donât use pull-ups at all. Stay home and let her wear parties or training panties. When she sets them it will feel awful. She will want to take them off- but just put a new clean pair on her right after cleaning up and start over every time use all kinds of rewards and celebrate when she sits on the potty. Even if she doesnât pee. The. When she does pee. Give her extra.
My oldest didnât till she was in preschool and saw all the other kids doing it.
Definitely take the diaper off and put on underwear on thatâs what we did ( boy) he had to be trained by 4 for pre k he was 3 and a half fully potty trained !
He kicked up when we used pull ups as soon as we went to underpants he stopped all the whinny stuff
Get a potty seat forget baby toilet !
We went through this and tried everything possible she knew when she had to go and would hide and use her diaper than immediately take it off I finally bought a tiny potty and put it where she liked to hide it took a couple of days and some crying but it worked still canât get her to use the big potty she is petrified but weâre finally out of diapers so 1 step at a time
I potty trained my son maybe a total of 2 or 3 times he wasnât getting it so I gave up and one day he just up and went by himself
My oldest child was super easy to potty train; my second however does everything in her own timeâŚshe was only partI was so frustrated when she was three that I asked her how long did she think she could wear pull-ups for-- she told me she would stop when she turned 4. Sure enough on her 4th birthday she put on underwear and used the toilet. She knew what she needed to do, she just wanted to do it in her own time. (Sheâs 10 now, she is my independent thinker-- doesnât care what anyone else thinks about her and isnât worried about following the crowd).
By the time she starts school she will be trained,guarantee it. Donât stress it,every child learns at a different pace.
I cut my kids off of diapers when I knew they were ready and grasped the concept. They had an emotional attachment to the diapers in my opinion. as soon as they went away it was out of sight out of mind. Also they were both 3
Just stop putting diapers/pull ups on her she wont like the wet clotges and will start. Worked for me
My 1st was hesitant at first but then we did the undies free weekend and it was like it clicked on why the potty was easier and fun. With my 2 one she hates being dirty and she just picked it up started taking her own diaper off so we went to undies and havenât looked back. Both my girls fully potty trained by 2. I did use positive reinforcement with stickers or temporary tattoos, sometimes suckers.
Try putting them in regular underwear for a few hours each day ( or the days ur wanting to work on training) they will have accidents but eventually they wont like going on themselves in the underwear and will go to the potty. I know alot of people say let them go at their own pace, and that may work for alot of children but some it wont. My little cousin didnt get the potty training he needed (given he did not have the best parenting) because they figured he would eventually do it when he was ready and hes now 16 and although he can and does use the toilet he still goes on himself sometimes. Seems like he just doesnt care cuz he wasnt made to. Im not saying pressure them but i think its important to let them know that it is important to learn. Good luck!
I had 2 kids⌠son wasnât potty trained until well over 3, daughter decided on her own that she was a âbig girlâ, and was completely potty trained day and night by 20 months. And the bottom line is, they are both well into their 20s, and no one knows or cares how long it took either of them to potty train. Take a break for a bit and try again in a couple of weeks. And most of all, donât be too hard on him or your self. As a wise woman once told me, âno kid ever goes to kindergarten With a bottle, a pacifier, or in diapersâ
I used a bribe. She really wanted this princess mirror, so I told her if she could go a week without an accident it was hers. Sheâs 21 years old now and still has it.
I always took the kids with me when I went since they could walk. They learned by watching me. Mine were trained by age 2. Day and night.
My 3 year old had NO interest until a couple months ago. Now heâs fully potty trained. Didnât take any effort on our part. Sometimes kids just learn on their own.
My oldest took a while and we had to really work with him on it. But he was trained by 2 1/2 while my youngest was about 3.
Needs a child potty most kids are scared of the flushing DONâT wait not sure how old she is BUT itâs never good to keep any CHILD in diapers what happens when she goes to school or daycare just an opinion
My grandmother who is 89 years old told me once they will do it when theyâre ready. She said this to me because my son was almost 5 before he was fully potty trained and I was worried they wouldnât let him enter kindergarten.
Take that diaper off her. She will not like the pee running down her leg.
Keep it off. Keep kindly reminding her she is a big girl now.
There is lots of reading on it. I just sent mine to my momâs and they came back trained 5 days later.
True.
Following, my 3year old is the same⌠My older 2 kids were easy and mostly trained by 3. I feel like I doing something wrongđ glad to know Iâm not alone.
After weeks of struggle, I had given up. He just wasnât ready. I waited 2 months and he decided he was ready. 1 week and is fully potty trained. He is also 3
Mine just potty trained and is almost 4âŚi just didnt stress ot and encouraged her to try every hour
After 5 kids, each a different age, they will do it when ready. Donât force em that just brings stress. Just con her in the best u can. But every child is different and will do it different. Just have to find what works. So alot of trial and error b4 u figure it out. Gd luck!!
We made a gameboard on a poster and hung it on the wall and let ours choose what kind of stickers they wanted. After each successful potty break they got a sticker and a little candy and at different intervals on the board they got to pick a prize out of a treasure chest full of dollar store toys
All kids are different. My daughter was stubborn. She was 4 before she even had interest. She will learn at her own time. Itâs a control thing. Itâs the only thing at that age. Let her learn on her own time. She will I promise.
Take her to go buy new big girl panties. Ditch the pull ups. Example: she wouldnât want to make the princesses cry. Also you might let her pick out a little potty so she can try to go beside you
We turned our daughter around so she could face the tanks and grab on. That seemed to change everything and give her a sense of security because she was trained within a week or so after months of trying.
Wow. My son was potty trained at 9 months. My girls were trained by 1 year
Um sheâs 3, wait and donât rush into anything. They will do it when theyâre ready, encourage but donât push. If sheâs really afraid, let her see you do it and as silly as it sounds, praise yourself while you do. Like âoh wow, mom is such a big girl! Look at me using the big potty! Wow!â
I was convinced my son was gonna be in pull ups until high school but I promise, they really will when theyâre ready.
Sheâs not ready. Bring it into the living room, let her put her babies on it to go potty. Get Elmoâs Potty Time video and let her sit on her chair while she watches it. It worked for two of my most bashful.
Wait until sheâs ready, mine didnât actually potty train until after he turned 4⌠He turns 5 next week, and still has the occasional accident, but heâs pretty good about it now⌠Sometimes it just takes time⌠Getting them to pee in the potty, typically, is also much easier when theyâre ready, but poop takes can more time⌠Sometimes thatâs all you can do is give her time⌠Ask her if she wants to go on the potty, but donât push⌠Have her come to the bathroom with you when you need to go to show her itâs okay, and thereâs nothing to be afraid of⌠Let her flush when youâre done to get her used to itâŚ
Follow her lead and my daughter wasnât interested until she was closer to 3.5 and once she was interested, it was pretty easy
Sheâs not ready. Forcing it will only scare her and you cannot use fear to teach them. Give it time and try again when she starts showing interest. Itâll happen.
Some kids go at their own pace. My son was fully potty trained by three. My daughter just potty trained right befor she turned 5.
Sheâs not ready. My daughter was the SAMe! We stopped and a few weeks/months later, she was ready
My daughter was potty trained at 1 year and 6 months, at first sheâs afraid but the longer she get used to it.
Bribe her! When my daughter was two she wanted a kitten. We toms her if she uses the potty she could have one. Problem solved
Keep a kid potty available in whichever room youâre in to let her have quick access. And let her play around with it (cleaned, of course). Just so she gets used to it
It will happen in time. It took my husband one day to potty train my daughterâŚI had been trying for over a year by the time she did she was 5
Give it a break for a few weeks and then go back to it. Sheâll do it when SHEâS ready.
Mine was the same way. Woke up one day at the age of 4 and no accidents or anything just started using the potty. Doctor told me you dont know a 8 year old thatâs not potty trained. They will do it in their own time.
My daughter believe it or not was my hardest one to train. She is 3 1/2!! She still has night accidents but thatâs okay. It was very hard for us to train, especially once Covid hit she regressed a lot. She is very articulate and would beg me to buy her diapers because she didnât want to go in her potty. We did 2 weeks of pull ups, with training. Then we went back to strictly undies. We also
Bought a potty chart that made it rewarding and exciting for her. Every time she had a good âpottyâ she got to put a sticker on her chart. That helped tremendously.
I had one sister who refused to potty train. At about 4 mom put her in panties and reminded her to go but she still wet herself. At home she went barefoot so no problem with wet shoes. One day we went to town, 3 blocks away. She wet hsrself and mom went into rhe nearest bathroom to wash her and put clean underwear on he but zhe cimplained her feet were wet because she loaded her shoes and they were squishy. Mom told her that since she peed in her shoes so she had to walk in wet shoes in town. She was trained the next day because next day mom put another pair of shoes on her.
Our doctor said when my daughter turned three to tell her what poop and pee are, why they should go in the toilet, and then dont say anything else about it. Sure enough a month later she decided to go all by herself. Some kids like the attention they get from not being potty trained. 
Let her play with the potty. Show her how to pretend her babies/stuffies are going. Have her watch a potty training movie while her babies/stuffies use her training potty. My girls loved Potty Power (Itâs a potty training video). I am a teacher and I have potty trained countless children. Iâve had a handful that were completely uninterested. I also recommend making a potty sticker chart (let her pick the stickers out). 1st time she pees, give her a written award. Same with a 1st time poo! The first 2 weeks can be the hardest. After that, kids usually begin to get the idea. Not showing interest doesnât necessarily mean she isnât ready. This is a new skill she is learning. Like anything new, it takes practice. Accidents will happen. Itâs important to not get angry when they do. You want potty training to feel like a positive, not a negative. Good luckâ:heart:

Donât force it, I guarantee she will not go to Kindergarten in diapers. When it is her choice it will happen.
I started tryin to train my daughter at 2 yrs old and she wouldnt have anything to do with her new potty or new panties! Said she was afraid the potty would eat her butt lol But she is now 3.5 and is just starting to go pee in it. Hasnt pooped yet but she will. I just started putting panties on her and summer dresses to make it easier for her. I think she has been hanging onto being the baby of the family as long as possible. But all kids are different and will go when theyre ready! It has to click in their brain when they have an urge to go and to hold them themselves til they get to the potty! I told mine to squeeze down there when they feel like they gotta go
I have 5 daughters. 1st thing I did was when my girls were old enough to sit up on their own I bought them their own potty chair. I only put them on it when we were running the bath tub. The sound of running water does wonders, as does praise. This got them interested in going. Then I tried pull ups. Failed miserably with the 1st 4 and wound up bying cotton training panties that are several layers thick, and I bought the plastic pants you use with cloth diapers. The problem with pull ups is kids cant feel when they are wet. With panties it gets cold and uncomfortable real fast. It doesnât take long after they know what it feels like. I also made sticker charts for them. Each time they went potty they got a sticker. After we finished the chart we went to the store and they got to pick out a toy.
My daughter was potty trained by 1 and a half. My son was 2. When I went to potty, so did my children.
She will do it when sheâs ready.We use to leavey daughter in regular underwear and she didnât like the feeling of it coming down her leg.Thats when she learned.
Back off. Not every kid is ready at the same time. Donât worry. She will get it in her own time.
She isnât ready. There is no need to âtrainâ a child to use the toilet. Their body will know when they are ready and they just get it
Wait. She isnât ready. The harder you push the harder it will get. It will be okay Mom. She will do well when the pressure is off.
Wait until summer. Spend time with potty trained kids. Sheâll want to be the same.
If you could and itâs safe; have her around another baby that already does it; kids tend to imitate and learn from other kids.
I had the same problem when my baby girl was 3. I used to go in there with her and make a big deal out of going potty. Like when she tinkled a bit that first time I clapped and did a happy dance praising her. Then gave her a piece of candy lol. Candy was a good bribing reward to teach her to like the potty 
I never had a problem with my boys⌠I never even potty trained them. I took the diaper off, showed the the toilet and what they were supposed to do and boom⌠Potty trained over night 
these girls are a whole other breed boiiiii

Just take it day by day she only 3 show her potty training videos I also had got this potty watch it goes of every 30 mins it work well with her no more pull ups
Mine didn potty train, she just did it on her own around 3-4 yrs old i believe. Her pedia said if she refuses then dont force her, she will learn.
When my son was 9 months old he gave up drinking from a bottle. At 4yrs old gave up on his own diapers and his pacifier. I watch a well known pediatrician namednDr. Tewsberry. He said when your child is ready, he will give up the baby stuff
My son is almost 10, heâs been potty trained since 2 years old but just started the habit of peeing everywhere! In drawers, cups, on the wall, in hampers, trash cans, etc. I say donât push it and let her do it her way. Potty training is a tough thing for kids and donât let them see it as a âpunishmentâ
My youngest did that. She flat out said " I donât like that thing ( toilet ) " We tried bribing her with a princess potty, candy etc. Finally, my sitter went and bought some dollar store barbie dolls and that worked lol
