[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was also a dribbler. Most of the time I didn't catch him dribbling.
The first day was frustrating, but the second day I decided to celebrate the dribble. Whenever he had a small pee or dribble on the floor, I would clap and exclaim "Good job, you just peed! Let's see if we can get some more in the potty!" The following day it started to click.
In retrospect, I think he deliberately dribbled. He didn't want to do an actual pee in the potty, but he had to release his bladder. By celebrating the pee in all it's mess it turned into something he wanted to do.[/quote]

Just want to add, at first he didn't want to go on the potty when I noticed the pee. I would tell him "I'm so glad you peed. But it belongs in the potty. Can you help me clean it up?" And I would give him a paper towel. Yes, it's gross but I was trying to keep super positive and make him understand that the pee doesn't belong there. And if she doesn't want to clean it up, so be it. You've got to always be positive and make it a fun experience. By the end of the 5 days your child should be really happy that she had your undivided attention.[/quote]
