[quote=Anonymous]If Oh Crap doesn’t work we did a method with our DD when she was 3.25 called Ready! Set! Potty! It’s actually developed for kids with developmental disabilities (which DD has) but DH and I remarked that we are sure it would’ve worked on DS too who trained at 2.25 through oh crap and is neurotypical. I think DS would’ve enjoyed this method more.

Basically you have a big party the night before with a whole theme that your child loves—the party is for potty training! Hooray! The gift is underwear that matches the theme. You have a cake and everything. Then while they are sleeping you decorate your bathroom to match the exciting theme, including potty toys, etc. There are other steps too. It’s a quick read. Honestly it felt a bit absurd but she LOVED it. It could’ve just been age but we had two failed attempts at Oh Crap and were feeling disheartened. I took a week off of work to train her and she was good to go after that (we did have to make sure to tell her to go). BTW she showed no real signs of readiness.

Poop took a bit longer (a month or so). But she only pooped once a day at home and never at school so it was okay. We also had, as another poster has suggested, her get changed standing up in the bathroom. She even learned to request a pull up and poop in the bathroom. It just took her a bit to poop in the toilet. But once she did, she was fully trained even overnight.

Also, like others have said, you don’t need to change her as frequently. We maybe used 4-5 diapers a day at that age.[/quote]
