Ive been potty training my 18months old girl for almost a month now but am not getting any positive response . Need help here . Must be doing something wrong.
She may not be ready yet, but you could try this thread for more info: Potty Training
My daughter wasn't potty trained during the day till she was almost 3, then not bedtime trained till she was almost 4 years old. She just wasn't ready and we didn't push it. I would make sure I asked often if she needed to go, show her how to pull down and pull up her undies and how to wash her hands by herself. Wiping is still an issue we are working on. But you can't make a child be potty trained, they have to be ready! But when they are it should be fairly easy :)
She is still pretty young. As long as she's not resisting, I'd say keep going.
Is she even ready? the youngest I had any of my kids potty trained was only a little under two (like 22 mos) and the oldest was at or just over 3and a half. I wouldn't presume to tell a mom her kid is or isn't ready, but that's where I've had the most challenges. I would try, sometimes it would "take" to an extent, but usually not (not until the child was ready).
Here are some of the things I've used: My cardinal rule is THERE IS NO NEGATIVE TO POTTY TRAINING (only neutral, like cleaning up the puddles, etc and positive, like a reward for "going" in the "potty"). I used stickers with the girls, if they filled a chart, we went to "the sticker store" (Education Express) and got some little thing they wanted, usually something they'd had their eye on (we lived walking distance from the store then). I used chocolate with my boys, they have sweet teeth like their momma (or worse).
She's cheating on him
