What is the quickest and easiest way to potty train a girl??
Answers:
I bought my daughter "special panties".(about 6 pair) They were really pretty. She loved them. So when she soiled herself I would tell her i had to through them away, and I did. She was very upset about loosing her panties. Wasn't long before she was potty trained. She did very well after that, but when she had an accident because she was too busy playing or watching tv, i would still throw away her panties. Not for night accidents or beyond her control accidents. She was fairly easy, any tips for a boy? My son is almost 4. My daughter was fully potty trained with no accidents by 3. My son is sooo lazy. I know he knows how. He stays dry at night, he tells me he has to go sometimes, he tells me to change him when he needs it, but he just doesn't try. And I did try the underware thing with him, he doesn't care.

you have to find you child poo rota to start with and check that the child understands what it is doing...
My young one used to put his potty on his head until he understood what it was for...
Make her watch you everytime you go.... I bet she'll think thats a whole lot of fun!! wink wink different kids are ready at different times. Pullups are a good idea, they feel like big kid undies and the little ones will feel guilty about having their big girl undies thrown in the garbage. But a set of big girl undies and use them as a reward for when she goes potty in the toilet.
Try putting her in regular undies. My cousin did this with her daughter and the first time she pee'd her leg, she figured out what a toilet was for. Girls tend to be more conscious about this. I wouldn't recommend doing this while she is sleeping and it is going to cause you to clean up after her. After two times she had no more accidents, so I'd suggest trying this. Sorry I have a two year old son and we use fruit loops, but I don't know if that would work with a girl.
find a book or two that she really likes and leave it in the bathroom...encourage her to read while sitting on the potty - at first you'll have to sit with her and read with her...but later on she might just do it herself.avoid using training pants - this just gives her a 'comfort zone' and makes her think "well, i don't really have to go potty, i can do it right here". even though it might be hard for you every time she has an accident, it's worth it in the long run.
also take her to go pick her own 'big girl underwear'. this makes her want to wear it, and she feels the wetness against her skin which is uncomfortable so will encourage her to use the potty
also...don't ever get angry or upset about accidents. Simply say "you had an accident b/c you forgot to use the potty, and that's fine. But next time, Mommy would really enjoy seeing you go potty"...and then forget about the incident.
use a reward system like stickers for everytime she goes uses the potty succesfully.
we also used school as a incentive. she had older siblings and was really excited to go to school, but we explained that you can't go to school unless you can use the potty like a big girl.
good luck

ive been a nanny for a cpl of yrs, and have potty trained countless children w/ these methods. also have a degree in early childhood education.
I started my daughter at quite an early age. As soon as she could walk I bought her potty. About 12 months.
I took her in the bathroom with me only as often as I had to go. I didn't make her sit until she went and I didn't make her sit every hour or two. Just whenever I went, she watched. I said, "I have to go potty, let's go." She saw what I did.
We also read books about the potty and talked about going to the potty.
It took about 7 or 8 months, and she only went in her potty once. I think that was a fluke, even though I made a big deal about telling her how big she was. I don't think she made the connection.
Then one day we were at the store. She said, "I have to go potty," just out of the blue. I took her to the restroom and held her on the toliet, and after that, she always went in the toliet. Never the potty, I couldn't bribe her enough to use that thing, but I bought a small toliet seat and just lifted her up to the toliet whenever she had to go.
It's just like everything else. Children learn by imitating actions, not by understanding words. Just let go of your modesty (She came out of that thing, and she has one too) and show her what it's all about.
My first daughter just folled me every time, potty trained at 19 mos. My son dont ask!LOL My youngest did not have a clue we got those bathroom markers/paints and every time I would go i would draw a kitty,star,happy face on the shower wall. She could only use them if she went too. Took about 6 days.Sucess!! Try getting her to drink lots of liquids the day you really focus on taking her potty. Stands to reason that the more that goes in, the more will come out and more chances of getting it right. And take the diapers off.
There is no quick and easy way to potty train any child. Potty training any child takes time and effort. I suggest allowing her to follow you into the bathroom and explain to her what you are doing and why. If not take her to the bathroom every 15 to 30 minutes and make her sit there until she uses the potty.
