[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP- how did you get your kid on the potty for the first time? Physically put them there? That will be a complete nonstarter with mine who melts down if manhandled. I've tried bribing. We started this afternoon. [/quote]

We just said “Larlo, it’s time to go sit on the potty. Let’s go!” We went every 20 or 30 minutes the first two days. If he told us he didn’t have to go or didn’t want to, I just say that we were going to sit and try and then he could go back to playing. If they won’t stay seated, try entertainment. I put a basket of books next to the potty, including some Christmas ones he hadn’t seen since last year and had forgotten. That worked for staying seated and getting used to sitting and trying. Mine was afraid to poop on the potty and held it for overnight when he was in a diaper for the first few days. When I knew he needed to go during the day but was scared too, I let him watch a short video on my phone to get him to sit and try to go poop. The poops are typically much harder for them to sit and go for (but they all will get there; mine did on the fourth day).[/quote]
