[blparent] Potty Training Gone Wrong

Wed Mar 30 20:30:19 UTC 2011

Something a friend of mine did was to take her daughter to one of these city
programs where you can go and observe the kids playing.  they are run all
year long, here they are called Kid Zone.  Anyway, she took her daughter and
told her she could come play with the kids if she always peeped in the potty
not her panties and wala, her daughter just like that, decided her potty was
her best friend. V

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.
