Potty Training....here We Go Again

I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter who refuses to potty train. When I tell her "big" girls go on the potty, she tells me she's a "little" girl. I've bribed her, made games with her, tried to teach her with her baby, everything. SHe will NOT go either. Day care attempted as well & she sat only 1 time on the potty but now refuses there as well. I'm glad to hear mine is not the only one! I thought girls were easier - at least a lot of people have told me that. Ugh! If you find any tricks, please let me know too. I will do the same!

It sounds like she is just not ready! Wait a few more weeks, but while you're waiting keep talking to her about using the potty. Ask her questions like, "where do we go pee pee?" Let me see you use the potty. Make it seem like you are having fun. Maybe try taking her to the store and let her pick our her own big girl panties, but tell her that she has to use the potty to get to wear them. If she has an accident in her panties, clean her up and put on another pair...DON'T put her back in a diaper, she'll get the idea that if she has an accident she can just have her diapers back. After a few accidents in her panties, she'll hate the feeling and start telling you when she has to go. Just keep being consistent with whatever you do.

Good Luck! She will potty train!

I agree. She's just not ready. My dd was 3.5 before she finally trained (but she is stubborn and is going to do it her way, OR ELSE!) I finally had to give up and let her take an interest in it. What finally worked was for me to find something she REALLY wanted (a hamster in our case)...then, she had to stay dry for x number of days and we could buy a cage, the x number of days more to get some food, then x number of days to get the bedding, the x number of days to get toys, then, finally she got to earn the hamster himself.

thats all i know to do...we tried everything and nothing worked until she wanted the hamster more than she wanted to fight about the toilet.

I have a 2 yr old little girl i am tring to get to use the potty and get out of diapers my little boy was easy but girls seem stuborn. well we have a game and my little boy helps out.. when you go tee tee you get to sing and dance and mom you have to really act crazy and the kids laugh at you and they start to do it and then if they number 2 the same thing just change the lyrics. My husband even gets in on it and that makes katlyn really want to go just to hear us laughing and clappig and having fun.. We also have a sticker chart and when you fill it up you get to take it to walmart and get a special surprise. last but not least. make sure when she gets up in the morning the first thing you do with her is take her to the rest room and have her try to go and whenever you lay her down for a nap you need to take her straight to the potty. I am not telling you what to do and i hope this does not sound strange but this is how i started my little boy and it seems to be working a little on her. plus the daycare is doing a pretty good job. hope it helped alittle.

I ended up just putting my daughter in panties and after a few days she decided she didn't like that feeling. I don't know if it will work, but it is always something to try. It can be messy though.
