Potty training."? The method worked extremely well for LO1 and we're using the same method for LO2 (less than a week in and so far so good). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-difficulties#post-2541577 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:26:01 +0000 catomd00 2541577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just take a break for a few weeks and try again later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-difficulties#post-2541533 Wed, 04 May 2016 19:55:25 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2541533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: at least we aren't alone, right?? And I remember when people used to tell me "Training girls to potty train is easy!" Pffft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-difficulties#post-2541523 Wed, 04 May 2016 19:45:55 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2541523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been working since last August...so March sounds like a dream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-difficulties#post-2541522 Wed, 04 May 2016 19:45:11 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2541522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Funnily she loves going commando and has no problem just leaving puddles. She obviously feels bad when she's finished making one but in the moment? She usually couldn't care less. Usually she's intent on playing and just forgets? And when prompted she often says no she doesn't need to go potty. I may try the grab bag idea. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-difficulties#post-2541502 Wed, 04 May 2016 19:20:18 +0000 hilsy85 2541502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried just going commando? Also, we did small rewards (out of a grab bag) every time he peed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/potty-training-difficulties#post-2541484 Wed, 04 May 2016 19:03:02 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2541484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like this is the potty training that will never end...</p> <p>We started potty training DD (3 years) back in March during our preschool's spring break. We chose this time because we had two weeks off to really work with her and after several misses at attempted potty training, we were hoping her new vocabulary would lend itself to success. She would often announce that she was wet or dirty and asked to be changed. She has, in the past before we started training, successfully gone pee in the potty.</p> <p>So we got our gear out, all clean, ready to go. Started a new chart and yes, even picked a bribe for when she was successfully potty trained. And we've been fighting the uphill battle ever since. DD successfully pees on the potty when prompted on a regular basis but rarely ever - I think maybe 3 times - makes it to the potty for poop. Which means disgusting sticky, stinky, and usually wet underwear. A few times it was bad enough I had to just throw the underwear away. </p> <p>That isn't to say she doesn't know her body - she consistently stalls right before bed saying she has to go pee. And she will, without any prompting or help, instead of just peeing in her training pants. But she has this strange aversion to pooping in the potty - little or big - and still daily wets herself. </p> <p>Any suggestions on how to finally get her fully potty trained? Tips tricks bribes? I am at my wit's end! Maybe diapers until middle school won't be so bad... </p>
