[blparent] Potty Training Gone Wrong

[Brandy W]

Can you get her on the potty in the morning when she is dry, and have the
pee come out. The part that I think went wrong is they need to have some
success on the potty before they are just going on themselves. Maybe give
her a month or so since most programs start in the fall like you are
describing.

Hi.  Sarah turned three years old about a month ago.  I thought she was
ready to train because she's waking up dry in the mornings most times, and
she goes for three or four hours without a wet diaper.  So she was sort of
showing the signs till we got derailed.
