Potty training??????

Question

ive been working with my daughter on potty training and she seems to be doing pretty well. but she still has peed in her panties a couple times and sometimes will sit on the potty forever before she will go or not go at all. and ive tried timing it and it works sometimes, but others she go hours before she needs to pee. well now she doesnt want to wear diappers, she wants to wear panties, witch is great but i need to know that she wont pee in them. and i still have to send her to daycare in a diapper untill she starts her new one in august. and she goes potty great for everyone else, she just seems to forget with me. i just dont know how else to do it, i let her wear panties and be a big girl, but how do i get her to ALWAYS tell me when she has to pee not just sometimes?

Answer 1

I don't have an answer for that one.  I'm going through the same thing with my son.  He will do great for a while and then start wetting his pants again.  It's so frustrating.  I use pull-ups on him when we go out sometimes because I just can't trust that I won't have a huge mess to clean up.  My sister has a son a year older than mine and she assures me that it's just a phase and that he'll be completely potty trained in no time.  Here's hoping!

Answer 2

Encourage her to tell you when she needs to go. I know its hard at first. I started potty training my daughter when she asked what I was doing on the potty. At around 16-18 months old. Ask her in the mornings when she wakes up and ask her daycare to help remind her to ask them when she needs to go potty as well.  Ask her every 30 minutes or so. And maybe she will get the hang of telling you when she is ready. Hope this will help;

Thats normal for her to still have a few accidents, she is still probably just getting used to the feeling of being wet.

Its awesome that she wants underwear and you should keep her in them! Send her to daycare in underwear, it is their job to take care of her. Thats what you are paying them for. send her in with extra clothes so they can change her if she has an accident there.

If you really think that it is just with you it is probably her just being lazy knowing that you will change her if she has an accident. Try making her change herself after she has an accident. She'll realize that she needs to go on the potty because taking off yucky clothes is no fun. Dont put her back in diapers! That will just confuse her.

Also, you should not try to time when you think she has to go, that is just training you to figure out her schedule, not training her to go on the potty. Simple reminders are enough.

It seems to me that she just needs a little more time. nothing to worry about :)

Answer 4

tell her it's okay to go into the bathroom and go when she has to. let her wear panties as often as possible.

Answer 5

It takes awhile sometimes. Put her in the panties as often as possible. She will get confused if you go back and forth from panties to diapers. If she wets in the panties, let her sit in it for like ten or fifteen minutes. It won't hurt her, but it will give her the sense of not liking to be wet. I really don't believe in using pull ups because they are the same as a diaper. They absorb the pee so the kids never get the feeling of being wet. Once they find out they don't like it, they start telling you all the time.
