I have a problem with my 2 yearold and pitty training.She knows when she has to go and she refuses to use the potty.She will wet her pants and then sit in it and not tell you that she did it.She also will go in the other room so that you don't see her doing it.We have taken toys away and even tried giving rewards.We also tried a sticker chart that every time that she goes she gets a sticker and after a row is filled she gets a special treat but nothing is working.

I hope by now your little one is potty trained, But if not I turned off my daughters favorite shows when she gave me the signs she was going and did not tell me. She was so upset she never needed a diaper or pull ups again. stick to your guns. How ever you decide to disapline is prob right. But be consistant and do not back down. Once the start going in the potty do not punish for accidents only disapline on the mistakes that is truely laziness.{ex: not wanting to stop playing or watching a show when you ask them}.Also once using a potty ask every 45min or so even running errands. Good luck to all.

Your daughter has to be both physically AND emotionally ready to use the potty. Kids have their own timetables, and there is no magic age where they will start.

If haven't had success by now, I would hold off for a bit. Trying to "force" will only delay it longer. At least that's been my experience.

Different things work for different kids. Was she afraid of the big toilet? We never did the little potty chair thing. We just had smaller seat cover and a step stool. I guess we were lucky. We potty trained our daughter at just under 2 years - very easily - our son took quite a bit longer. We didn't push him until our pediatrician said that he was probably ready physically. The main thing is perserverance, being focused on nothing else for a few days and lots of praise.
