[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the person who said put her in underwear and put her on the toilet every 45 minutes - this is not realistic for a child who becomes hysterical when you try to put her on the potty. She has some huge sensory aversion.[/quote]

[b]You need to start potty exposure early. [/b] So, they are used to it.  We'd limit the iPad to potty time.  At 4, our child could go but not tell us or prompt us non-verbally so for months we did every 45 minutes till it clicked.  ABA was a waste of time for PT.  So were bribes, sticker charts and all that fun stuff.[/quote]

There is actually no evidence that supports this.  You can even search pub med if you don't believe me.  Also, introducing electronics can backfire.[/quote]

It depends on the child.  It worked for us.  Our child could go on the potty, but there was far more too it than just actually going.  Evidence or not, reality is you have to be very consistent for months.  My child PT around 4.  We had to force the issue.[/quote]
