Ha...Ya, um, it took Samuel a year to figure it out. Have you tried a potty doll? That sort of helped with Jocelyn. But she didn't actually get trained until another year later....you MUST be patient and kind. That is all I can say. prayer and phood blessings too. It's a hard time.Hannah Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813612560660654932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631512187609742303.post-34548022569221793962010-01-28T08:47:56.690-08:002010-01-28T08:47:56.690-08:00Like Cammi, I laughed when I read about her throwi...Like Cammi, I laughed when I read about her throwing the potty. I spit on my computer a little bit too! Potty training isn't easy but what worked best for us was letting Jovie decide when she wanted to do it. Because she didn't want to go to bed, she would say that she needed to pee. This allowed her to stay up later and she got a feel for her potty. Then after a few nights of doing this she finally went in it. I praised her so much that she wanted to go every night at bed time. Have her kitty sit on the potty and discreetly dump water behind it and say kitty peed on the potty!Audiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538904305832879512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631512187609742303.post-87949217068364299812010-01-26T23:42:12.727-08:002010-01-26T23:42:12.727-08:00We finally have Tessa potty trained.

She even goes through the night! :) My advice is this: 1-Be consistent...no matter what, be consistent. 2-When you do it, just take diapers and pull ups away for good. Just say DONE and deal with the messes. Otherwise she will just get confused. 3-Even take away diapers for night time. Deal with the messes! Seriously. Then make sure she goes before bed, and wake her up again at midnight. After I did that, Tessa got night time potty training in ONE night-no kidding. Before I started getting her up she wet the bed every night. 4-Don't make her potty train if she isn't ready. Sometimes 2 year olds aren't ready. Sometimes even 3 year olds aren't. If she flat out refuses don't force the issue. It's ok to coax her, but if she feels like going potty isn't HER thing she won't want to do it. And Last-5 Give her a treat when she goes. I used marshmallows, and a sucker for pooping. Pooping takes longer. (We still have accidents with the pooping.) Good Luck!! She will get it! I promise. She isn't going to be 16 and still in diapers. :)Nechahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648976184920198632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631512187609742303.post-47735969919788952882010-01-26T18:38:54.305-08:002010-01-26T18:38:54.305-08:00I have no clue, but it's better than taking so...I have no clue, but it's better than taking soiled (#2) underwear and hiding it in the neighbors indoor flower planter.<br /><br />dadJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921809360328464690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631512187609742303.post-12439746726737864032010-01-26T17:03:28.361-08:002010-01-26T17:03:28.361-08:00I'm not sure I have the answer but sticking to...I'm not sure I have the answer but sticking to your word is the best. With my girls I said that they couldn't do something or get something unless they tried to go potty and then stuck to that until they sat for abit and tried. I praised them afterwards and then did what I said I would if they atleast gave a good effort. They soon figured out that if they wanted to go for a walk or get a treat or whatever they had to go potty first. If Tralee won't even try when you coax her with a prize, then make sure you don't give it to her until she gives it a good effort. Remind her she won't get the prize unless she tries to go potty. I don't know, maybe Nik and Chan were just easy potty trainers. Oh, I never left them alone on the potty, I stayed with them and reminded them what prize they would get if they were good girls and went potty. If she won't try, then say ok, no movie, or treat or can't go play with other kids until you try. Bribe them. It worked for me.Judy Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14103441343929011003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631512187609742303.post-31100539483262564922010-01-26T15:18:45.855-08:002010-01-26T15:18:45.855-08:00Okay so first of all I need to say sorry because I...Okay so first of all I need to say sorry because I laughed right outloud when she picked up her chair, screamed, and threw it across the room..

I pretty much gave up, but as summer approached, we told him that he couldn't go swimming in the pool until he was potty-trained because they didn't allow kids in swim diapers. He slowly became potty-trained. However, he still has issues. Playing the computer, or just playing in general, often takes precedence over relieving himself properly. I wish I had kept track of how many times he's peed his pants when he was perfectly capable of walking 10 steps to the bathroom. Wait, though, since I'm venting...even when he is in the proper room, the bathroom, he often misses. I'd almost rather have him back in diapers.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892979369991990839noreply@blogger.com
