how is the best way to potty train a 2 y and a half year old girl.?

Answers:
They sell dolls that have their own toilets, those are funa and can take the srangeness out of things. Let her know that you do it, let her watch you (a little awkward, but t will help, my cousin won't pee in a public restroom because she doesn't want anyone 'to hear') Devise a rewards system so it's a good thing. Small things work better, such as m&ms or alone time with parents, reading a fav book etc.

Other Answers:
Try to make it fun and divise a small reward for success. Make no big deal from mistakes. Let her see you go, too.

FOR MY sisters little one, we went to the local Restaurant .They have a machine that puts out little prizes 4 a quarter. we bought a hand full of the prizes.EVERY time she put poo poo or pee pee(in the potty) she got a prize from the jar. IT worked like a charm. the second hand store has little cheap toys too. IT may not work 4 every child but it worked 4 us. GOOD LUCK.

thank you for asking this question! my son is 19 months old and the doctor said I can start potty training him any time now. I think hes crazy! if the doc thinks its sooo easy, then he can potty train mky son, he cant even say "poop" or "pee pee" yet! goood luck!

I would say to make sure to make it to be something that is fun. Put her on the potty before and after eating, before and after naps, and whenever else feels good for you and her...but A LOT during the day. At first..you are basically trying for it to happen...for her to go in the potty, almost on accident...then with all the praise and attention..she will want to do it again. Make sure to keep this praise up with each time.
Don't just put her on for 1 min...make it at least 5 min every time. Have books and whatever else to keep her occupied. Sing songs...say rhymes..just keep her happy.
And..when it happens...make such a big deal. Praise her and hug her and give her a treat or a sticker or whatever kind of treats you have ready for her after she uses the potty. The immediate reward is very important in potty training... same idea when the child is being bad...immediate acknowledgment and appropriate actions taken.
I hope this helps. It has worked for many kids that I have looked after in the past.
Good luck!

my sister uses the rewards system, basically a chart, sticker stars and a prezzie after they've gone to the toilet un-assisted 10 times, it doesn't have to be a big prezzie, a lollypop etc. if you have older toilet trained kids too get them to brush there teeth so they don't feel left out.

I waited till my son showed signed. He was amazed at other children doing it. I have friends who pushed there child to early and spent weeks trying to train them. My son was 3 and did it in a week he was then dry through the night after 4 weeks. I used lots of praise and just oh deared the accidents,these will happen. Some nice knickers with her favourite characters on are also fun. It is best to spend a week at home first so you can just concentrate on the training, see how you go and then you can start taking trips out. Always take to the toilet before you leave the house and then when you get somewhere. There is nothing worse than being half way round the supermarket and them needing the toilet.Most of all Patience!Good luck.

kids use the bathroom when they first wake up and after naps,try making her sit on the pot every two hrs,let her sit there until she uses it.you have to have alot of patience and she may do a lot of crying but she will catch on fast if you don't let her get up until she is done good luck.

I had all 3 of my kids trained in 2 wks.

dont put pressure on her she will do it when she is ready! but when she does use the potty reward her with a sweet or a small toy.
good luck
ps try training pants or none at all

I started out by buying a simple white potty that looked the closest to a regular toilet. No bells n' whistles. Then I got her the "Feel N Learn" pull-ups which are great because when they are wet, they feel wet to the child. Then we had a "sticker" program. I would put her potty in front of the toilet and we would both go potty together. Every time she was successful, she got a sticker that she placed on the bathroom cupboard beside her potty chair. That way she was able to see the rewards of her efforts. And I also made a big effort to praise her really dramatically! Then we'd both empty her potty into the toilet and wave and say "bye-bye peepees/poopoos, thanks for coming out!" She'd sometimes just sit on the chair and "pretend" to potty just so she'd get a sticker! But she quickly figured out that she needed to produce visible results... It took about 2 months. Then I took her shopping and let her pick out her own underwear (Dora). She was so happy to wear them and very, very proud. She had a few accidents but I never made a big deal out of them to her. It got tricky when we went out because it's important that as soon as said she had to potty, we had to pull over right away. I was sure NOT to fall back on the pullups just because we were out. It just prolongs the process. She was able to wear underwear during the day and a pullup at night. Then, eventually she lost the nightime pullup and I woke her at 2am and took her to the potty - every night for about a week. And then that was that.

Every child is different tho - the key is to make a big fuss when they go and not make a fuss if they don't. Good luck with it.

Have you try the "monkey see monkey do"
