Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 Hi Liz, My daughter was potty trained at 4 as well. We went to Wal-mart and bought her lots of pretty panties. Princess and different characters. Toys R Us and Target have other different characters too. I explained to her she was a big girl now and she had to use panties like the big girls. Mommie doesn't wear a diaper. I didn't throw out all her diapers though. She'd come home from school and she needed to poop so she asked me for a diaper. So whenever I'd get a diaper for her I'd show her and we would count how many diapers she had left. When it got down to 3, then 2 and then the last one. I showed her the bag was empty. I told her there were no more diapers. I would then tell her lets go potty and we'd go together. I didn't ask her if she wanted to go potty. I would try to distract her. I wouldn't interrupt her or try to take away her focus if she was doing something important. But every chance I'd get I would tell her lets go potty. Take books or toys and tell her we'd leave it on the counter until she was done. Lots and lots of patience. And panties!!! Take care and be well. God bless!!
