[quote=Anonymous]Agree with others op, I would personally at your point forget night training and wear pull ups for naps and night. This gives her the chance to get good sleep and focus on the day time. Some kids can do night training at the same time and it is ideal, but it didn't work for either of my kids. And that was just fine, they potty trained during the day early and then wore diapers at night until they were truly ready. For my older son that was a little over 4 probably - he initiated and wanted to do it, we put a pad down and took him before we went to bed each night and after a few nights he got it. But earlier than that he wasn't ready. Our 3 year old has been potty trained during the day a year but at night still needs the diaper. He asked one time recently so we tried it but he wasn't ready.

There are different "schools of thought" if you will here on night training - some will tell you you need to do it at the same time, attend to it and stick with it and help them through it. Some will tell you that it is a biological thing that happens at different ages for different kids and you can't force it. I think it is probably a mix of both. Kids will be ready at different times, you don't want to wait forever without trying to push through and help them do it but you don't have to do it at the same time as day training. It is really exhausting for them.

The book Oh Crap is helpful. I would ditch them completely for day - do small trips, practice, work up to it. And then let her have breaks at nap and night.[/quote]
