My daughter is 2 1/2. i have been potty training her since she turned 2. its been hard though b/c i work during the day and she is home with dad. She is wearing panties all day (not at night) but seems to have a lot of accidents when she is with my husband (not with me). he is getting very frustrated by this and i am not sure what to do b/c i don't have many accidents with her... Any advice on how to deal with the husband or the child would be much appreciated
Potty Training?!?!?
Your husband needs to take her to the bathroom more often. Not just when she says she has to go, but just taking her in, if she hasn't went in a while.
Dad's are usually impatient when it comes to girls going potty, ask him to sit on the side of the tub with her, and give her time to go.
Best of luck to you. We had our daughter potty trained at 26 months. LOTS of hard work but totally worth it!
Reply:Tell him to take her to the potty at regular times.
Reply:Try pull ups under her panties. Thiss allows her to wear panties (and be a big girl) yet there is still protection until she learns more. She is still very young and doing very well if she's already taking to the potty.
Reply:I'm six months pregnant with my second child and have a 2 1/2 year old son. He stays with my mom during the day while I'm at work and she had no clue what to do when I came to potty training. I managed to get him trained in three days on my own and explained the process to my husband along the way. This is what I did:
I told him no more pull-ups, it's time for underwear. Every ten minutes I would take him to the bathroom whether he had to go or not (so he would get used to the feeling of when he needed to go). Then every time he went in the toilet and not on himself he got to put an elmo sticker on his chart.
He doesn't like the potty he likes to stand in front of the actual toilet and we have the dual seat for use with #2. After a while he started to recognize the difference and would say "no pee pee" when he didn't have to go and he would tell us when he had to.
He doesn't wet himself at night either and he sleeps the full 8-9 hours without accidents.
He's learned how to go to the bathroom by himself without any help (except to wash his hands) and every once in a while we'll tell him to go (he gets very caught up in Go, Diego, Go and sometimes forgets).
Hope this helps. I just did this 2-3 weeks ago and so far little to no accidents. We can even enjoy a day out in the park, and a six hour flight delay (got caught in a tropical storm)!
Good Luck
Reply:I agree with the others that say that he needs to take her more often. SHe also may be picking up on his frustration, he needs to get that in check, it could make her more nervous and prolong the accidents. He might try a reward system as well, whether it be a little candy (m%26amp;ms) or a special little toy it keep interest up. He may also try make a big fuss and celebrate when she does go for him. I'm not a big fan of pull ups, they are so confusing when they've been in panties for a while.
Reply:the child is picking up on your husbands frustration ask him to calm down and also ask him to take her to the potty at regular times and ask him to sit on the side of the tub with her, and give her time to go talk in a calm matter. Take time with the child she will learn It also might just be she misses MOMMY
Reply:What i did w/ my sister cause i ALWAYS had 2 babysit her was i asked my mom 2 go get her a lil baby toilet and it made music like there was a sensor and if something would go past it it would play music and it had a book. It worked!! She sat on that thing like all day!!! The only thing was u have 2 keep empting it out( witch was gross) So u could try 2 find 1 of those anywhere my mom got 1 at a store called Meijer and my friends bro and sis have 1 2 and it works 4 them! So I hope this helps and good luck!!
Reply:Tell your husband that he needs to take her to the potty every hour and if she still has accidents then he needs to take her like every 30 min. just until she gets the hang of it and will go more often on her own. This is how I potty trained both of my boys and I will do the same with my daughter later this summer. Potty training takes a lot of time and work from the parents. Just tell your husband to be patient with the process and she will get the hang of it in no time. It took both my boys 2 weeks to be fully potty trained after taking them to the potty every hour. Good Luck!
