Mine has been potty trained since turning two.
First we only wore undies and pullups for bed.
Second set a timer on our phone for every thirty minutes and to start Every five times she went potty she got a reward for it she got to chose out of the bucket. (A pack of gummies, sticker, dollar tree toys) and slowly she started just saying when she had to go potty (gifts also went from every five times she went potty to once a day to once a week to none at all.)
And we limited all drinks two hours before bed, the only exception being some water after brushing teeth. Took about two months and completely potty trained and has very little accidents

Give her time, pushing them when they arenât ready is harder for you bothâŚ
Does she like Disney princesses? My daughter did and I got her disney pull ups to start and told her if the princesses get wet or poopy they will cry. She had maybe a handfull of accidents the first week then she got to go to the store and pick out big girl under pants that had princesses on them. Within 2 weeks she was completely going in the potty and was so proud of herself. She told EVERYONE lol even people at the store
I have a 3yr old daughter too. Still potty train. Slowly dear no rush let her calm try to sing cos that whats i did i sing poop song i make up my own hahahahaah n then suddenly she poop n i congrates her for being so brave. Slowly dun force
Every child is different. You just have to go with it. Try reward and disapproval usually works.
My 3 year old granddaughter she was giving us hell with it but the last couple of days has been good fingers crossed lol
With my son we took him to toys r us to pick a toy he really wanted & told him if he could go a whole week without accidents, we would come back and buy it for him. The next week we were back to get that toy.
I got my youngest her own seat and a step stool and watched for the signs of her with her movements that she made before she peed. I always asked her if she feels like she had to potty. Another thing we would flush and said. Bye pee or poop clapped. Being very open to talking about it throughout the day. She was two and a half and potty trained. From birth I would make sure I changed her as soon as I noticed she was wet or had poop so she knew she preferred to be dry. Now sheâs my 6th child and it was not always that easy. If she messed her pants I just asked her if she had an accident if she did I would take her to the bathroom so she knew where pee and poop went. Just a few tips Iâve used. Hope this helps. Good luck!
You canât make them, my son was 4, his older brother had a baby and I said you donât want to wear diapers like the baby do you, within a week he was trained .
You can try to do it without anything on but wait till she gets interested in it I barely got my four year old daughter interested in going potty on the potty so it takes time
Itâs potty learning not training. Leave her alone and she will do it. Take her potty with you. Read potty books but donât push it. I know it seems like sheâll never get there but I promise she will. Let her do it in her own time.
When I stopped trying to make my daughter potty train she did it on her own. She likes to do everything her own way
My 3 year old granddaughters (twins) love to wear underwear and love to be naked but also refuses to sit on the potty. Theyâll tell us if they peed or pooped but absolutely refuses to sit on the potty.
Let it go.
I never forced my kids. They decided when they were ready (almost 4 years old) then it was so easy and never had an accident.
Donât stress she is s till young - wait until Summer - one day at a time - enjoy your Daughter - Live - Love - Laugh
Same here. She will happily sit on the toilet and flush it but wonât go. She usually sits on hers every time I go. I figure sheâll get it one day and that will be that.
Weâve always been open using the bathroom and our 2 boys were day and night trained by 3. Our 2 year old daughter is already using potty during the day.
Our pediatrician says no negative feedback, only positive rewards like stickers, toys, etc. We did a sticker chart with my oldest which seemed to help. He also said that kids are potty training later as diapers become more advanced. They are more absorbent making the child less uncomfortable in a wet diaper.
My daughter was 15 months old and totally potty trained.
I bought her Mickey and Minnie panties and told her they didnât want to get wet or dirty & it worked.
Iâve made a deal with my daughter when she was in that age. I told her no potty training no school, coz she was excited to go to school.
At the center we have potty book the children look at while sitting ohh the also make sounds. I also make a big deal when their sitting. Sing songs, finger plays, countingâŚ

My youngest is 3 and a half and is only just starting to use the potty hes very funny with it dont rush them they will go at their own pace my 5 year old (autistic) has only just gone into pants and still has accidents but is exclusively in nappies at night and long journeys he only started proper potty training At 4 and a half when he was ready
We had to get a potty seat for the toilet. She would not use a potty chair. She wanted to go potty like mom did. And thatâs what she would say.
Relax. keep her in pull ups. Tell her she is in control of this and she doesnât have to do it yet.
Just let her be mine girl did half potty and half diapers until 4 1/2 its all good
Dont stress. My 6 yo wouldnt go until almost 4 and I am having the same issue with my current 3 yo. Show them as many potty training songa as you can keep her away from automatic flushers, my 6yo is still scared of them and that makes for a fun family trip to vegas with all toilets being automatic!
What is it that scares her? Mine always claimed going potty took to much time out of her day and my 2nd just likes the security of the pullup I guess
Sounds like she needs a bit more time, it will click eventually. I recommend cloth training undies, use a plastic cover over them to protect clothing/linens. Child feels the sensationâŚ
Wait a few weeks and try again.
Sit next to her, buy her underwear from.a character she likes, give her a sticker every time she sits on the potty.
Have her watch you go potty.
Sheâs probably not ready. Wait another month or 2 and try again. My youngest didnât potty train until about a month before he turned 4.
Sheâs not ready yet. Take a break from it and try it again in 3 months. Youâll drive yourself crazy and donât go by what the books say is the right age.
Will this what I and mother decided to do. We got rid of the old potty and we had her choose her big girl potty and she got to choose her underwear. Then everytime we the girls went potty she went potty with us. Thatâs how we got her to go potty.
We had same problem till we got her a special bank and everytime she went potty she got money she could use any way she wanted
Shes obviously not ready if shes refusing. No kid goes to college and doesnt know how to use the rest room. 
One day the flip will switch and shell be ready.
If she is refusing then she is not ready. You cannot force it.
I literally handed my daughter a package of princess panties at age 2 and said we dont potty in them we go in the big girl potty and she never had an accident. We never used pull ups for either of our kiddos. My son took way longer ⌠All we did was just encourage him and not get frustrated. Try making a treasure point chart. If she pottys in the big girl potty she gets to put up a sticker when she goes so many days w no accidents and using the potty she gets a prize or special lunch/treat w mom
They will do it on theirnown time. I started my son at a year and a half and he wasnt fully potty trained both day and night until this past winter. Heâll be 5 at the end of the month. The more you (word you in general) push the more they will fight
Do it with her a few times put the potty in the bathroom ,you sit on the toilet she sit on the potty⌠Make a game of it until she gets use to it
Mine did that too so when they started I got the book once upon a potty and I sat on the toilet and they sat on the potty chair. When they would stand up I would sit them back down a tell that we need to potty.
Do it when sheâs ready. If sheâs so freaked out, sheâs not ready.
Put her in panties. After she potties on herself a few times she will want to use the little potty. It can be frustrating and messy but it worked with my daughter who refused to train
Stop pushing, but take her out of pull ups and put her in cotton training pants. Pull ups stay dry until they are so heavy they start to fall off. Cotton training pants get WET! She will take them off as soon as she gets or dirtied them. She will soon train herself, but it canât be a power struggle. Good luck.
She will go when sheâs ready. Donât force it
Just wait till they ready. Forcing things just gona make thongs fruatrating for both of you.my lil one is also 3 and doesnt seem to be ready yet so slowly he will be ready soon.
Good luck mama
I bought different kinds of stickers n a cardboard n tell her you get one when you use the potty n if you poop you get 2.n let her her pick itâŚn then make a big deal with a Yelling HOORAY âŚa high five n letâs call grandma âŚn a funny dance anything that she get happy withâŚplus when u go let her see u sitting n say listen mommy is using the pottyâŚn when u finish u do the same with the high five etcâŚit worked for my girls n my granddaughtersâŚgood luck!!
All kids are different. My oldest started at 4 but wasnât fully trained until his 5th birthday. He decided he was finally ready to be a big boy. He used to cry about using the potty too. His little brother who is 3 still needs a pullup at night but is coming along. Donât push, thereâs no set rules about potty training.
I used to just stick underwear on my kids
They didnât like the feeling of it. I didnât have them in the soiled underwear for more than 2-3 mins. They told me as soon as they did it, and I would change their underwear.
Yes, it was a lot of laundry to go through but they didnât like the feeling of being wet and didnât want to feel it again
Itâs tough. But it has to happen. Kids are so different itâs hard to advise.
I waited until my son was ready it was the week of his 3rd bday he said mommy i donât want anymore pull-upsâŚheâs never had a accident heâs 16 now
My daughter would pee on the potty at home but not poop. She would hide when she had to do #2 so we couldnât get her on the potty in time. Her pediatrican said to buy small presents at the dollar store and wrap them in pretty paper and give her one when she went #2. We even upped that, getting $5 stuffed animals instead of dollar store toys (she loves stuffed animals). But, it didnât work. Then, I told her she would get a lollipop when she went #2 on the potty. Then she started doing it 3 and 4 times a day. So, I limited her to 1 lollipop a day for about 2 weeks. Then told her we were done with that. She said she would go back to pooping in a diaper, and I asked her matter of factly if she really thought that was something she wanted to do and she agreed no. She was about 2 when she would do #1 in the toilet and 3 for #2. She was terrified of automatic toilets until about age 5. I would have to hug her while she was in a public restroom to reassure her that she would not go down the toilet. Then, one day she just snapped out of that and realized she wasnât going to get flushed and havenât had an issue since. Every kid is ready on their own timeline, but every kid also has their own currency. My daughterâs is candy. But other kids like other things so find out what that is and make sure you donât try to ârewardâ a kid with something the kid doesnât want. Once heard a mom say to her son he couldnât go to daycare until he was potty-trained. He didnât care (I actually think he didnât want to go to daycare at all so it was a way to prevent it). He was pretty old at the time to not be potty trained.
Everytime u go,she has to go with you, and go thru the motions, have her wear panties,or training panties,she has to feel the wet, and not like it⌠sheâll catch onâŚand she wonât like the poop mess either

My children both were slightly stubborn about potty training. One had bad constipation issues though and had to take medication so part of hers was trying to not go poop cause it hurt. They both got trained by age 3 but were more difficult about pooping in the potty than peeing in it. My son and daughter had to use underwear not pull ups or diapers much cause if they did not feel soiled they figured no big deal and mommy will just clean me up. When they felt the discomfort of dirty pants they were not so fond of that. My son though we also had him clean up stuff if he messed his pants cause he was still not learning so we thought well if you do not like this you will use the potty. Finally his little friend made fun of him for going in his pants and after that never messed his pants again except once when he was sick and could not help it.
Summer time is the best time to encourage toileting. No diaper/pull up or underwear during the day. Allow diaper at night if needed. Be firm. You will be cleaning up some messes, but saving on your grocery bills.
Is she in a daycare? It helps when they see other kids using the toilet.
Donât use pull ups they are just diapers and the point of potty training is to get rid of the diapers

I couldnât figure out anything for my son the thing that worked was he could go to head story and start school like his cousins my daughter was just buying undies and no diapers a few messes and done
I would wait until sheâs ready, but maybe a kiddy seat that goes on the normal toilet so sheâll be doing it like a big girl? And it just looks like a jromal toilet as oppose to the dreaded potty xx
Give it six more months. Donât make a big deal out of it. Some just arenât ready. Is she on track with other stuff developmentally?
My son was 2 and my daughter was 3, she will be ready in her own time. But like others have said they did, we just took off the diapers and let them go. My daughter hated wet undies and had only 1 day of accidents, my son, we had to do pull-ups at night for a while until we learned that waking him for a quick trip to the potty at midnight worked, we stopped that when he was about 4
Donât push her. Sheâll do it when sheâs ready. Only gonna stress you both out.
I put panties on my daughter then a pull up. 2 days she was potty trained because she hated being wet
Take her lead she will tell you when sheâs ready, why fight it just makes it worse
Get a potty watch, a cool child potty that is smaller, hype her up mentally for a few weeks every diaper change, any sitting on the potty is a win even if its for a second. Lots of potty songs on YouTube we turn on only when going on the potty. Also⌠getting a successful per first thing in the morning is usually the easiest way to begin. I donât yell about accidents I just c tell b them itâs ok I still believe you can go on the potty!
I just showed mine how things worked and started clapping for her just for sitting on it while in a diaper.
Then, when she took her diaper off and sat on it, I did a little dance.
Then she peed and we did potty dance and I bought her ice cream.
It took forever to poop in it though.
My point is let her lead u mommy. She may not have linked everything together yet.
My son and other daughter sat on it and was potty trained in a week.
Take her to the bathroom with u everytime u goâŚafter u potty set her on the pottyâŚif she refuses stick her nose in the corner for 3 minsâŚ
My youngest did that too he would only go on normal sized toilet as everyone else was going on it
Encourage them with a small toddler potty and give them a chart and stickers if they go potty they get a sticker and it adds up to a new toy or something they want.
My daughter is all for school. We just explained diapers arent allowed at school so she has to use the big potty.
Let it go, it will happen itâs all they have left to control at this stageâŚ

I told my kids they werenât allowed to turn 3 if they werenât using the big boy potty. It worked. Lol
Wait til shes ready. Mine did it on their own at almost 3 1/2. Just one day just started using the potty. Mo fighting, no yelling, nothing.
Before i straight up said no i started the potty pops and if she went she got a lollipop
Sheâs not ready. Forcing her will make it worse
Just wait kids potty train themselves if u just wait she will do it on her own, all of my kids did I had 5
Offer her candy as a reward and praise her and tell her what a big girl she is. The candy worked for my daughter. She also loved the character underwear.
Keep talking to her about being a big girl & how cool it is to potty in a toilet. Let her watch you go and also let her pick out her own panties. Maybe try telling her that you need her help for you to go to the bathroom. Reverse rolls and maybe have her âread/show you a book while you go to the bathroom. Let her practice wiping herself and flushing the toilet. Something about those 2 things made my son eager to keep trying and we went through a lot of TP lol. Be kind but persistent and remind her every hour (depending on how much sheâs drinks) to sit on the potty even at bedtime to get her into the routine of things- just like puppy training if youâve ever had a puppy lol. It helps to pass time by coloring, talking about her favorite characters/movie or read to her bc otherwise they wont go. My pediatrician told me to make him sit there for however old they are at least and sometimes it was torture but I was persistent. The more you have her sit there and make it fun/interesting the quicker she will âget itâ. Also if she makes it through the night dry rule of thumb is sheâs ready both physically and mentally explain that to her. She will eventually get it and once she gets going pee then #2 will eventually follow. Lol. I remember the anticipation bc I got tired of buying pull-ups and theyâre expensive and I knew my son could do it bc heâd stay dry for hours and all night. Best of luck!
Look up three day potty training. It works but it is your life for 3 solid days.
My sons were both almost 5 before they were trained. Otherwise bribery works at our house.
Donât force it. Forcing it gets you no where. Patience is key
Get her a sticker book and make it fun. Every time she does, she gets stickers to put in her book .
Have her watch you as you burn all the diapers. Tell her itâs panties or bare butt from now onâŚand donât mention it again. Tough Love.
We had an issue with that but she had started potty training when tornado hit the house and we werevin the bathroom. Never heard the noise to toilet made as the thing hit. Between noise of the tornado hitting the wing the glass breaking house breaking apart she REFUSED to get on a potty for a year. Been almost 30 years and she still has bowel issues over it.
She will decide when sheâs ready. Be patient.
Use the reward system. My daughter is/was obsessed with stickers we gave her a big shiny sticker every time she used the potty
Wait a little longer and try again when sheâs older.
Back off, she will come around on her time! Otherwise you will just make yourself nuts.
Give her time. My almost 5 year old just started to be potty trained. We are developmentally delayed but Iâm not a fan of rushing milestones. It will be OK.
Put her backwards on toilet and give her dry erase markers to color on lifted lid it comes off
My daughter trained early but my son wasnât ready until 4.5 years old give her more time thereâs no rush
This could be a sensory issue. Something more going on. I would need to know more about her personality.
My granddaughter refused to #2 in the potty till she was almost 6 or 7.
3 is early - give it time!
Just finally got my 3 and 1/2 year old to, we bribed him and gave him no choice! Hes so stubborn!!
Potty trip every 20 mins first day⌠The chocolate kisses u bake with⌠2 first time pottying, 1 for pee 2 for poop
When she is ready she will let you know. Donât worry too much about it.
Try make it fun but ultimately wait until they are ready
Leave her naked from the waist down. Put the potty somewhere she may like to sit⌠give candies or treats when she goes 
Let them roam naked for about a week in the house. Donât make any plans to leave easy with quarantine lol
Stop. If the two of you start a power struggle when sheâs 3 yrs old can you imagine what life will be in 13 years?
In a tug of war the child will always win. Childen will sacrifice their own best interest to control the parent.
You establish logical consequences for your daughterâs choices. You state the rules. Explain the rules so she understands. Donât argue. Critical is that follow through. Do not cave!
Example; You explainâŚIf you potty in your pants you will wear them wet, then you will change your pants and clean the mess.
If you pee on car seats,sofa, bed,youâll need to clean your pants and the upholstery.
I am not buying diapers after these run out. There will be no more diapers.
Make up what rules YOU will follow that you believe fit your child.
Then lay down your end of the tug of war rope. NO NAGGING.
Treat her with all the love you hope sheâll show you in 13 years. No struggle.
Here are the rules. Here are the consequences. Simple. This will establish that mom means what she says. Mom doesnât play games. A normal child will learn this life lesson after one or two episodes. You will establish that you are the parent. She is the child.
