Potty Training Issues!!!!!!!!!!?

I am getting paid to potty train my 7 year old niece. She is not cooperating with anything i try. I think she is scared of the potty because everytime i sit her down on it or talk about it, she starts crying and getting upset. I don't know what to do. I don't want to force her because she is not my child. I try to make it fun, but she despises that potty so much, I am losing hope. I don't know why she is acting like this, or if it is something my brother did to her or what. Maybe I'm not doing it right, (I don't know b/c i'm only 15.) She does not have learning disabilities or anything prior to that. She can't go to school because she isn't potty trained either, so that sux. Anywayz, she is much too old to be like this and I need some advice.

Potty Training Issues!!!!!!!!!!?
If she seems scared have you tried a smaller potty, you know not the toilet but a small baby-potty? I know this will look kind of ridiculous and may even overflow, but she might not be scared.
Reply:Speak to her as if she is an adult. Tell her that she must learn to use the BATHROOM (not the 'potty') properly and she must learn to do it NOW ... give her the chance to tell you something that she'd LOVE to do, but can't do now, and tell her that as soon as she can go three days and three nights without soiling herself, you will SEE TO IT that she gets this reward ...but also tell her that only BABIES wet and soil themselves, and she's a BIG GIRL now, and APOLOGIZE for her not being taught properly when she was 2-3 years old.


There may be some GOOD REASONS she isn't properly taught, though ... a physical problem that ONLY a doctor can help, or she could have been sexually molested when she was small or some other thing it will take a real ADULT to handle ... and you must be aware of these things, and try to get information from her, and then tell a RESPONSIBLE ADULT (not her parents if there is suspicion of parental sexual abuse happening) and let that person take it from there.

sounds like she is disabled


you need to see what she does when she is


peeing/pooping in her dipper's. when she does that you need to fast take her to a potty training tiolet and put her there. keep doing that.
Reply:when my daughter was one she was potty trained..try a baby potty..it worked for my daughter now shes 2 and using grown up potty.
Reply:If she is 7 years old and not potty trained, her parents need to take her to the pediatrician, not pass her off to her 15 year old aunt/uncle. It is possible that she needs a few sessions with a child psychologist who is trained to get to the root of her fear and help her over it. You are being put into a situation that is unfair to both you and the 7 year old. The adults in your lives (your parents too) need to take some responsibility and get that child to a professional who can help her and to stop putting you into a situation that you are both unprepared and untrained to deal with.
