[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you haven’t read Oh Crap if you are already introducing treats or are surprised by how the first day is going. Potty training is more about parenting than it is about a child’s aptitude — I’d encourage you to take the time to actually read it (or get the audiobook and listen - it’s like 5 hours). Your daughter didn’t learn to walk or eat solids in a day, and this won’t be any different. Getting into a good mental space about learning this new skill is key.[/quote]

Op here I wanted to start immediately. I was reading blogs where this was used but I assume they adapted it a bit. I will read through this week, but from what people were saying we did not want to be waiting. It said that engaging them in cleaning, not as a punishment, but as something that is needed, helps understand the importance of using the potty.

What is the first step I need to do? I promise I will read it all by the end of the week.

I make my 3 year old clean up messes at the dinner table when she does it on purpose.  I do not make her clean up her crumbs and spills because she is 3 and that is just what happens.  I don't care how the blogs/books frame it.  Making a 3 year old clean up pee/poop (that they're not intentionally doing) is cruel.[/quote]
