Re: NEED POTTY HELP PLEASE

We'll I don't know how much help I can be as I in the same boat.

We almost had her trained but total regression and back in pull ups.

Yes, it's tough to keep those diapers coming. They are expensive

too! Pretty soon I'll have to mail order them as we don't have too

much longer in the store sizes.

My daughter too will sit. She won't ask to go she'll go in her pants

then take them off. When I see her butt bare then I know there are

wet pants somewhere. Sometimes she'll put them in the hamper diaper

and all which is where we taught her to put her wet stuff, so I guess

I can't complain.

We recently got the video " It's Potty Time " . This video comes highly

recomended. We got it on Amazon.com used for $5. She seems to love

the video and it's done tastefully. It shows both boys and girls

using the potty and there is some cute Potty songs to get the kids

motivated. It's worth a shot.

No improvements yet with the video but we just got it last week.

Good luck and let us know how things go.

Thank you for your reply

May I ask how old your daughter is ? I am just curious at what ages our

daughters with Autism

Have potty trained and the one that have not as of yet.

I have the " Once upon a potty " book and video and so far it hasn't helped

us much at all

Unfortunately :-(

My daughter will be 5 in June. I guess it's always been MY goal to

have her trained by then. It doesn't look like that's going to

happen.

Next month all teachers/therapist and daycare people are going to

have a " Potty " meeting. Were all going to try to come up with a

standard and all do the same thing the same way. I'll let you know

how it goes.
