[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a potty already?  We trained our daughter shortly after she turned 2 but started by having a potty in the bathroom months before and casually offering it to her, especially for BMs where she gave clear signs it was about to happen.  She wasn't interested, but we still offered.  Then we introduced some potty books to introduce her to the idea of "potty training" and being a big girl.  After that, one random day she said "yes" to using the potty and we had underwear in her favorite character print ready.  Took about a week and pretty painless.[/quote]

We have one in the bathroom, [b]we've not been consistent[/b] but had her sit on it for 15 minutes every other day just to try and get used to it,[b] she's not used it yet though [/b][/quote]

Because you HAVE NOT been consistent! Duh.[/quote]

We can only do it on weekends consistentlywith us both working, and daycare want progress at home before starting taking her there[/quote]

I'm the PP that wrote about what we did with our daughter.  We did not consistently make her sit on the potty, either.  That actually made her angry and resist it more (she is incredibly stubborn).  We found being casual with it to be much better.

Also two working parents and she had just started daycare/preschool at the time.  So our "potty training" was limited to evenings after she came home and the weekend.  We never did the "oh sh!t" or any of the more stringent methods.  Follow her cues but you should definitely be leading her.[/quote]

DP. I agree there are other ways to do it, but I took a day off work over a long weekend so I could focus on doing the Oh Sh*t method. Parenting takes work. [/quote]
