I would just hype it up. Also, I'm not above bribing my kiddo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-a-stubborn-lo#post-2676009 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 13:34:01 +0000 Bao 2676009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: thank you for sharing! Funny thing, she peed on the potty several times yesterday after I bribed her with a Tiana doll. She stayed dry all night and only one accident today. Here's to hoping this is it! We sent the diapers to the diaper fairy too, which I didn't attempt before so she still knew there were diapers around. I think that really helped. Good luck with your little one, potty training is stressful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-a-stubborn-lo#post-2676005 Sun, 08 Jan 2017 13:29:26 +0000 Tanjowen 2676005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I'm starting the process with a most stubborn just turned 3 year old. It's not that he's not ready - he gives every signal and knows what to do - it's that he just doesn't WANT to and that's that for him. And he does it at his little preschool too, just not for me at home! :bummed: </p> <p>Today he has been messing in his pants and doesn't seem to care, so we are going bare bottom, which he hates. I told him he can have pants back when he goes on the potty. I also printed up a rewards chart and when he gets 5 stickers he gets to go to the bouncy house, his most favorite thing ever. Here's hoping it sticks.</p> <p>Our story aside, maybe a big reward besides the standard food offerings most people suggest? It's the only thing I can think to get my child motivated, and cookies aren't cutting it because he doesn't seem to care about food rewards. Good luck to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-a-stubborn-lo#post-2674731 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 19:48:11 +0000 sarac 2674731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait until they showed interest. She's not trying to be stubborn just to irritate you, she's just not interested yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-a-stubborn-lo#post-2673938 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 19:30:00 +0000 Bao 2673938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO will be 3 in just over 2 months. We have attempted to potty train her a couple times, but she just didn't care and it only left us with a bunch of messes. How do you approach potty training a kiddo that just doesn't have interest? She seems to be ready in all other ways, just stubborn...any tips? </p>
