Potty training question!?

Question

hello. i'm in the process of training my little one and i was wondering how often i should be putting her on the potty. every hour? every two hours? anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

just ask her all the time do you have to go potty and have her sit on the potty but don't make her stay there until she does something cause that is only gonna shy her away from potty training as long as she is sitting on it for even short periods of time she is getting used to it and she will do it on her own time you never want to force it.  Pay no attention to what jaz said if she has an accident DO NOT scold her because all that is going to do is scare her there is going to be accidents, my daughter still has accidents but I don't yell at her for it, if jaz has kids i feel really bad for them

Answer 2

My kids could produce urine once an hour.  I did not want to potty train my kids twice (once to go on the potty and then later to stop using the potty and use the toilet), so I used their interest in the real toilet to help motivate.  I researched and found a very sturdy stool with sides for the toilet so they could hold on without touching the toilet.  http://www.amazon.com/Elite-Child-Corpor... They actually enjoyed going like a big kid and would go without being reminded.  With this stool they were potty trained right away and it was well worth it.  Hope this helps.

Answer 3

u should put her on the potty 5-15 mins after any fluids. sit there with her and keep her on there until she does decide to potty. also, put her on there when she first wakes up.

monitor all her fluids and make sure she understands that she is a big girl and let her know that it is not ok to go potty on herself or any where else unless she is on the toilet.

when she does potty on the potty, give her tons of praise, toys, cookies etc. ANYTHING that makes her happy and let her know that she is a big girl and a good girl and she can get whatever she wants as long as she pottys.

when she pottys on herself, scold her and let her know that she is in trouble.

PLEASE DONT HIT THE CHILD THOUGH. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THAT.

even tho, i believe in love taps. lol

Same as breaking in a puppy..watch their intake and take to the toilet accordingly....

Good idea..drink with them..and go when you feel you have to go...take them with you,,share the expereience..they like it better.
