Potty Training a 34 month GIRL...?

Question

She goes p**p but not pee...what else can i do other than putting her on the potty when she wakes up?? She has great verbal skills...but I dont know if she knows when to tell me when she needs to go pee...any success stories helps:). thanks.

Answer 1

I had the opposite problem both with my sister and my son. Pee fine p**p no. Just keep trying. Ask her often if she needs to go. Start a chart and give her stickers for going on the potty. Little steps.

Agreeing wiht Amber, she should be in normal undies, BIG girl undies, let her pick them out.

Answer 2

I was having the same problem with my son.  I started putting him in underwear all the time.  We made a big deal out of how much more comfortable they are than pull-ups or diapers.  In the beginning it was more like training me than him.  Every hour I would put him on the potty and ask him to try.  Then every hour and a half.  Now, at 2 hours I ask him if he needs to pee.  If he says no I let it go but, ask again every 10-15 minutes.  If we hit 3 hours I put him on the potty instead of asking.  He is beginning to recognize the urge to go and I seldom have to make him go.   I still make him go before bed, before nap, after nap, when he wakes up in the morning or before we get in the car but, he's getting there.

If he does pee in his underwear I try to make a big deal about how uncomfortable he must be with pee all over his legs and how yucky it must feel.  I don't leave him in it for to long or punish him just sympathize and point out that if he'd gone in the potty he wouldn't have to be so uncomfortable.

Why don't you wait until she is 34 years?

Of course she won't pee in the potty, you didn't train her when she was 1yo and she doesn't have any habbit now.

Answer 4

Our daughter is 32 months. We have been letting her run around without pants on. Getting her to pee on the garden "like Daddy". Putting a nappy on her only for the car and for visiting other people's houses. We don't get angry if she pees on the floor (we have wooden floors) but she doesn't like it when it happens and now prefers the potty.

Any child who can toilet train under 3 years is early, in my opinion. Maybe she's not really ready? Be kind...

Answer 5

Tell her every time she does a wee in the loo she gets a special prize!

It should work, and tell her you dont have any more nappies, &if she wears these big girl undies and wees in them, she will eventually run out and will have to walk around in wet smelly undies.

It sounds brutal, but it works!

Answer 6

I agree. This has to be started early or it'll go on for years. You've left it far too late.

You're gonna to have to let her do it in her own time now. Also she's a bit old for a potty. Ask her if she would like to use the big girl toilet. You can't force her now you'll make it worse that it is.

Answer 7

You just have to be patient. I would use a reward as an insentive to go pee in the toilet. I'm not a fan of rewards charts but I am a fan of stickers or a little toy from the dollar store. My daughter was potty trained at around 18 months and what I did was just to focus on it for a few weeks. Waking her up at night and making sure she peed so she wouldnt in her big girl bed. Sometimes I would put her on the toilet and pour a little bit of cold water done her back and she would go to the bathroom.

Answer 8

We didn't have great success until my little one (around the same age) went into undies. She would pee a tiny bit before telling us she had to pee at first, but quickly was able to recognize the urge.

Answer 9

My daughter wanted to do everything herself and she wanted privacy.  She even wanted to use a REAL toilet.  I researched and found a very sturdy stool with sides for the toilet so she would be completely SAFE.  http://www.amazon.com/Elite-Child-Corpor...

This stool made all the difference for her and she was potty trained right away.  Well worth it.  Hope this helps.
