  • Something we used when our little ones didnt want to go was a potty timer, (i used the ktchen stove tmer) i set it for every 20 min and explained that we had a new house rule when the potty timer went off it WAS time to try to potty. I would say "I know you dont want to go right now but the potty timer went off and thats the new rule" Its harder to argue with a timer vs parents. And I always praised even if they didnt go

  • I've potty trained three kids (one girl and two boys) and for me a "potty song" helped.After they would go to the bathroom we would sing the "potty song" and dance.My sister uses a reward system and it worked for her with her three year old.She would use the bathroom and they would give her a small treat.They also went to the store and let her pick out some "big girl" undies.I did that wth the three that I trained and it helped.You also have to remmber what works for one child wont always work with yours.Good luck and I hope that maybe one of these will help or work for your child
