Re: Not Plagio Related/ Potty Training

[Guest guest]

,

My now 3 1/2 year old daughter was almost impossible to potty train!

I got her a potty seat and we started wearing pull-ups...she treated

them like diapers. So I started using underwear, and again she

treated them like diapers and didn't seem to mind the wet or

anything. Finally I discovered that it was the potty seat that was

irking her off. She wanted to sit on the toilet just like everyone

else. So I bought a toilet seat insert and a stool and it worked

like a charm. She still had a lot of accidents - but at that time it

was summer and we were outside a lot and little kids don't realize

they have to go until they are actually going.

But now six months later, she is waking up at night to go to the

bathroom, she is totally fine when we go to the store...she gives

enough warning now so we can find a bathroom...........and all is

well.

So maybe if your little boy is reluctant to use the potty, try

getting a toilet insert and a stool........this way he will truly

be " one of the big people " . )
