How do I get my spoiled little Daddy's girl to start potting training?

Question

My daughter is going to be 3 next month and she doesn't want to seem to go to the potty. I even bought her a new potty with lights and music the whole works. She likes it and plays with it but she doesn't go potty in it. I did not have this problem with my son and he did not hesitate to use the small or big potty. My son was a very quick potty boy and it only took about a month with both #1 and #2. Can someone please give me a few tips or some advice? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

she seems kinda... i don't know...

well, you could make it look fun, and show her everyone else is doing it, that's what made me want to go use the potty, hopefully that'll work

Answer 2

just put her on the seat till she go's

Answer 3

Try bribery ... find out what she REALLY wants or wants to do, and tell her that it's not for babies, who wear diapers, but for 'big girls' who wear underpants all the time.  Girls are usually easier to train than boys ... but leave it up to her ... tell her she can have or do this thing but ONLY after she is completely potty trained.  Tell your husband he must AGREE with you on this, or he can be the one to change the diapers, wash the clothes, the sheets, etc. until she's trained ... and if he works, that will be a problem, because he's going to have to find a way to change those diapers even if you are home and he's at work.  This is 'reverse bribery' but it works best for 'spoiled husbands' when working with a spoiled Daddy's child and toilet training!

Answer 4

My daughter is 30 months and she refuses to potty too. I have sat her on it for long periods of time and she will not use it. But as soon as I put a diaper on her, she fills it up. So this tells me she can hold it.. and I guess is not ready to train yet. I talked to a lady at the health dept about it and she said it's ok and when she is ready she will use it.. I had 3 sons and I don't remember having this much trouble with them, but that was a longgg time ago..

Answer 5

Let her go to the bathroom with you so she can see what you are doing. Next pick something she likes as a treat when she goes. For exapmle my daughter liked money so when she went in the potty I gave her a quarter, and when she went in her pants she had to give one quater back to me. next make a chart and everyday she goes in the potty all day with no accidents she gets a stick er and after she gets so many stickers she can have a toy she wants. Or go somewhere that she has been wanting to go like chucky cheese or something. Make it funny try doing a potty dance when she goes try anything untill you find something that works. Also try letting her pick her panties at the store because she will not want to mess in them!

Answer 6

get a bunch of plants and time her potting them

that should do the trick

Answer 7

my parents put together a barbie car and put it on the top of the entertainment center, but said i couldnt have it until i started using the potty all the time.  maybe giver her an incentive like that.  mom told me i was potty trained in about 3-4 weeks after that.

Answer 8

Sit her in her potty and pour alittel warm water in her private area. The warm water will give her the urge 2 go. Sit her in her potty every 2 or 3 hours for about 5min. That's how I potty trained my 2 girls. Have lots of patiences. Good luck.

Answer 9

Have her wear diapers, and when its time to go have her sit on the potty train seat

Answer 10

Sit her on it and make her stay there until she does something.  If she cries, make her sit there.  If she seems like she doesn't have to go, let her get up, but put her back on in a short time.  Sit her on it a few times a day and when she does go, make a big deal out of it and praise her.  After she starts going in it, if she goes in her pants tell her that she's a big girl now and she shouldn't be going in her pants like a little baby.  There's a book called "once upon a potty" that is great, there's one for girls and one for boys.  Whatever you do, stay consistant.

Answer 11

give her awards when she uses the potty  like stickers and then she will feel proud

Answer 12

i just tell my nephew who just turned 3 that im not giving him a diaper and telling him when he has to go p**p or pee to tell someone and if he doesn't he get a spanking and hes following it well. i yelled at my sister and mother for putting diapers on him for so long and spoiling him. now that i babysit him he now drinks from a CUP and pees in the toilet not on himself or in a diaper

Answer 13

My spoiled little Daddy's girl was three before she was potty trained.  I thought that she would do it early, because aside from sleep issues that we are still dealing with, she has reached almost every milestone early.  So, I bought a fancy potty chair for her at about 1 year.  She loved the music ect., but no desire to actually use it.  Finally, she would see all of the neighborhood kids who were older getting on and off of the school bus and decided that she wanted to go to school.  So I told her that she could not go to school until she went to the potty like a big girl.  There is a video called Potty Power that helped too.  

Good Luck!

Answer 14

as soon as she wakes up put her on the potty she will probably have to go make her sit there until she does go after she goes giver a piece of candy nothing big and teller how good she is she will like the attention and will start going more

this is what we are doing to my niece she is 16 months old

Answer 15

cloth diapers, they don't feel well when wet

Answer 16

don't stress yourself too much.  they all go in their own time.  my daughter (who is brilliant and could read at 3) didn't want to use the potty until she was 3-and-a-half.

take the potty out for one week each month and see how she takes to it.  if she doesn't, put it away for a while and try again in 3-4 weeks.  she'll get the hang of it sooner or later.  very few 4-year-olds are not potty trained, so it will happen within the next year.

Answer 17

Hi , i have 3 boys and 1 girl! The girl was a nightmare! She would still occasionally wet herself aged 5!

My youngest aged 3 at the end of sept, is potty training this week! He has done so well! with lots of cheers for wees and poos, and he has been doing it by himself! A few accidents which we don't make much of, but lots of praise! Keep some days free at home, and put her in knickers and occasionally put her on the potty, and if she goes have a great sing and cheer about it!

Good luck!

Answer 18

tell her that big girls use the potty babies use there pants and get cloth training pant rubber outer pants walmart any thing else is too much like a diaper

Answer 19

I have a lil girl also. This is how i got her potty trained, i would keep regular underwares on the ones that she picked out herself and every time she peed she would get 5 M&Ms and if she pooped she would get a whole bag. It also depends on the child as well. Good luck!!!!

Answer 20

You might try a doll that can "wet" itself.  Take the doll out of the package and have your daughter feed her water.  Then, take the doll to the potty and make an incredible fuss over the doll when she goes.  (We're talking whoops and hollers!)  Give the doll a reward (an M&M for instance), and have her pretend to eat it.  Your daughter may feel like "I can do that, too" after seeing all the fuss you made over the doll.  (I've actually seen this done and it's incredible how much the toddler suddenly wanted to prove that she could do it, too!)   Best of luck to you!
