i am trying to potty train my daughter please help?
Answers:
Here it is- it has worked for my 2 kids,and others after I tell them........
1. get m and m's handy
2. get a small potty chair
3. get a couple books about potty
4. you need to be home for about 4-5 days straight
5. now you can start. let them run around bare-but
6. Set the timer for 1/2 hour. Tell him/her to sit on the potty for 5 min. (read them a book in the mean time if it's to long for them.) If they go, give lots and lots of praise!!! I mean go crazy!! Give them about 3 m and m's.
7. Set the timer for 1/2 hour
8. Avoid asking the question "you got to go potty?'
9. Timer goes off- ok! What does that mean junior? Time to go potty again he or she would say, or you say it if they don't
10. repeat process all day long. If they go # 2 in the potty, reward with a handful of m and m's. They are very colorful and kids love them!!
11. Praise praise praise. I do spank my kids for behavior problems such as lying, disobedience, and bad attitudes, but never for having an accident. If there is an accident, clean it up queitly, and don't say much at all. Remind them it's ok, but try to make it in the potty next time, or in your own words.
Good luck!!! Hope this helps you. My 2 year old girl was potty-trained in about 3 days with the method. Took my 2 1/2 year old son about a week. Leave pull-ups on them at night just in case.
p.s. if this doen't work at all, try again in a few months.
Dont rise to it - buy her a packet of stickers and say that every time she does a wee in her potty you will let her put a sticker on it. My sons potty was covered in stickers by the end of the week!!
Just take it slow...she is only 2!! xx
