For little girls i have found that it is pretty easy. i was working full time while trying to potty train my daughter (she had just turned 2) and i was definitely intimidated by the task. She ended up catching on super quick. As her mommy you know when she is ready or not. Just show her what to do. If you use a potty chair let her sit on it and get comfortable with it. and as weird as it sounds go to the bathroom with her lol. Kids always want to mimic their parents if she sees you doing it its just going to make her want to try it more. Good luck! and congrats on being one step closer to being done with diapers :P
oh yeah my mom is giving me flack that my 2.5 yr old isnt potty trained as well while my eldest was potty trained when she was 18 months old. My youngest could care less! i put her in panties and she will still pee, the last time I tried just naked time, she stood in front of the open and cleaned dishwasher and peed! I have a little saying to remind her "pee pee in the potty, not in the diaper or the panties, pee pee and poo poo in the potty" and if I ask her, she will say it but it isnt connecting even though she knows what is what. I have a potty song, I try and distract her while she is on the potty such as reading to her, singing a potty song, putting warm water down their to promote the action, putting light pressure on her bladder area and still NOTHING! She will do it when she is ready, so while I have her in the day, I keep her in panties as much as possible and will cross my fingers that one of these days she will connect the dots.
Can they do 10 minutes of naked time and offer the potty a few times a day? Get them to do that (& you do it, too, when you are home). After a few weeks everyone increases it up more often or more time....it's a start, at least!
well thank you all for the suggestions. i keep asking people to help out they say they will and dont or make the excuse that she isnt ready and that my brother and i were not potty trained untill we were 3 so she is just the same and keep telling me to stop pushing her. i am not pushing her she will bring me a diaper when she is dirty or wet or just take it off herself and say wipe wipe and she keeps grabbing herself weather its in the front when she pees or the back when she poops so i just keep working with her when i can hopefully its enough for her to connect the dots
Am I overreacting?
