How can I get my 2 1/2 to use the potty?

U have to start a consistant pattern. Start by every morning when the kid wakes up take her right to the potty so they can get used to a routine. Take her to the bathroom with you when you go. When she does use the potty, praise her..u know like (Yay...u pee-pee'd in the potty! youre a big girl now!). Express disappointment when she wets herself or has a bm in her pull-up, and make sure you tell her that she is supposed to use the potty for that. Also have patience.

You may try and train him like a puppy.  Sit him on the toilet after he wakes up in the morning or after naps.  Also after playing, after eating, and before bed time; and any other time you see that look on his face.  Don't forget to verbally re-enforce what you are doing..."u need to potty?", "Yeah lets go potty",ect.\n\nOnce he begins to combine the bathroom, with the feeling of using the bathroom, and your pleasure when he makes waste...it may become more natural.

As far as the medicine goes, I would just let her drink a lot of juice, that usually loosens the stools.  Praise her for going potty in the toilet.  Make up a chart with a pic of a potty with like 5 boxes next to it.  When ever she goes potty in the toilet let her put a sticker in 1 of the boxes.  And when she gets all 5 boxes filled, let her pick out a prize.  You can buy dollar store prizes and put them in a box so she can see what she is 'working' for, or you can take her to the park or get icecream.  Whenever she doesn't use the toilet, put an 'x' thru 1 of her stickers and remind her what a big girl she will be when she goes potty and let her know when ever she gets a sticker she only needs __ more to get a prize!!  That should keep her motivated and focus on the positive outcome of being a 'big' girl.

dont wory about that. he will do it. but you could just trigger him by just wearing a towel and coming out of the bathroom, or just touch his legs a bit and then slowly moove up to the sensitive areas gradually and that's it

Bathroom trips don't have much if anything to do with controlling you. Just be extremely thankful that they use the toilet and are not still in diapers. It's preschool. They've gotta go. It's particularly normal for kids with siblings to get an urge to go whenever they see someone else going. They're only four for pete's sake. If you didn't want to deal with helping kids as though you were their mother, you should have probably picked a different job.

when I was with my first relationship I met this girl who had a son, and of course he was in his first for everything...haircut and so on..so I taught him to use the potty my method as jus everytime I used the bathroom I made come in and watch...I know it sounds extreme but kids minds are very young and virgin like so it's easy to manipulate them, their eager to learn and of course doing the for about a week and half he begin to use the potty he still had some accidents but he undertsood the concept..it works bette with a guy..jus in case of you was thinking of being the example GL..bye bye Now

The question that comes to be is how come your parents never potty trained you?  Is someone changing your diapers for you right now?\n\nWell, we all have to do our own thing...

try eating some bread (not toast). it can help latch onto something and get it down.

Use a lot of lube and have him go in VERY slowly so you have time to stretch. You can stretch a lot, but it takes a little time.

I think you need to take her to see her pediatrician.  There could be a problem, because your 7 year old should have no problem holding it by now.\nI don't understand the whole "can't be with her 24/7" thing.  At 7, if you aren't with her, someone you trust should be.  Whoever it is that you are having watch her should be made aware of the problem, and reminding her to use the restroom.

OK dose she wear diapers all the time or is this the first time she has ever put a diaper on to use it. I know by what you said that its the first time you have ever caught her in a diaper. Have you tryed talking to her about this and asking why she was doin this. It can be a range of thing from depression to ocd to a fetish or it can be that she has psychology infantilism. or she is having some kind of sideaffect from a drug. If its a fetish here are some things to look for.1 did she seem like she was in a real good mood when you seen her in that wet and messy diaper. 2 dose she usely go to the bathroom and not in a diaper 3 did she say i just wanted to see what it would feel like to pee and poop my diaper. If she did any of these then its more than likely a FETISH. If not she should be seen by a mental health Dr. If you would like to know more about this feel free to e-mail me and we can talk about this and maybe i can help you to understand what she it doin

use the bed leather under his bed sheet. and let him be free. dont insist on training. he will feel wet and uncomfortable for and realize you are not concerned , he will automatically stop wetting himself. only you need to make sure he sleeps seperate or instead of working , this remedy might backfire, and infact piss you off too..............lol

You can start out by breast feading him still and then finishing the session with a bottle.  It's going to take a few tries for him to get used to but eventually he will take to it and he will even prefer the bottle after awhile.  Good luck.

in a pinch, use 1/2 urine, 1/4 baking soda, 1/4 liquid smoke
