Do you know all the tips & techniques there are? We've just been going through this with our 2-yr-old for the past 8 months and wouldn't mind sharing what I've learned.
But, I think the best thing we did that actually worked---which we always had been reluctant to trying---was to leave him running around the house butt-naked. The whole apartment has carpet.
Fun times.
- petervandijck 16y agoYea, and take it easy, they'll learn. Definitely no more diaper during daytime (unless, say, when visiting grandparents with expensive carpets or something).
- davidw 16y agoI'm not sure if that's effective - we've tried it some, but there doesn't seem to be a connection, yet, to "I should have done that with the potty". People have told us that it sort of happens when they're ready and not earlier, so perhaps it's best not to rush things.
- araneae 16y agoThere's actually a sensitive period very early on in a baby's life when you can start to use that technique ("infant potty training"). Your kid is likely simply past that sensitive period.
- felideon 16y agoYes, definitely don't rush it and always be patient. But you may be surprised to find that she actually does make the connection and still refuses to use the potty.
- pchristensen 16y agoMy favorite tip for potty training two year olds is to wait until they are 3.
- frossie 16y agoOtherwise known as "No kid has ever gone to their prom in diapers." It'll happen.
