[quote=Anonymous]You need to have realistic expectations of your child. You are setting her up to fail by trying to night train her before she is fully potty trained, so please stop that. My DD was fully potty trained (including night) at 2.5, because she was ready. She asked to wear underwear, she was fully potty trained during the day, and we didn't need to limit her liquids. She has a water bottle on her nightstand. IMHO if you need to cut liquids and wake your child up multiple times at night, your child is not ready to go the night without a diaper. And it really doesn't matter when your child is night trained. There's no award for that.

In terms of potty training during the day, set realistic goals for her and figure out what her hang ups (if any) are and how to address them. We told my DD that her poop wanted to all be together as a family in the toilet (someone on DCUM suggested this) and it worked brilliantly. Also, recognize that there will be regression if you move or change schools or there is a new baby.

Also, you seem too hung up on your kid's intelligence. [/quote]
