The reward chart did nothing for Lily either. So we ditched it and just tried to back off and follow her lead. I think you're doing a great job, mama.

It sucks. <br /><br />But, Lizzy totally didn't get the sticker thing either at first. A few days in, we changed the policy to being if her underwear were dry until a certain time (i.e. lunch/all day/etc) we'd get some treat (i.e. ice cream/Taco Bell for lunch, etc). I think for Lizzy, it worked best when the "big" prize was attainable in one day. <br /><br />Stick with it!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257863829848728846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-88695994297657521232012-07-16T02:15:25.820-05:002012-07-16T02:15:25.820-05:00It is frustrating.

She was fully potty trained (which took maybe 2 weeks) before she was 2 and a half. <br /><br />Now my son is at the exact age she was when she was potty trained and he couldn't care less. He doesnt mind sitting in wet pants. He is SO not into sticker charts. I dont even know where to start with him! <br /><br />I just keep telling myself it will happen and he wont go to kindergarten in diapers.

So annoying. We did all the insentive things, sticker chart, candy after she would go, we put a prize on the top shelf and would point it out so she could have something to look forward to.<br />In the end we finally gave up putting so much emphasis on it and then as time went on, I realized it was just happening! We put a potty chair in her room and she naps bare butt so if she has to go its right there for her.<br />She just turned 3 and I can't remember the last time I changed her poopy diaper and she's just started going to bed at night without a diaper.<br />You can do it! Just let it happen!JessFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037888692806048396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-25658761366199499542012-07-15T21:02:21.447-05:002012-07-15T21:02:21.447-05:00C loves going potty for daddy but whenever I ask h...C loves going potty for daddy but whenever I ask him he is uninterested. Lately we've been having him go to the bathroom before he gets his night time diaper and occasionally he'll wake up dry!! We are moving very slow with the whole process and I don't even care if it takes until he is three+. They'll get it when they get it ;) Plus public toilets.....Ugh...Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658627678879503495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-86964196979877899842012-07-15T20:42:17.708-05:002012-07-15T20:42:17.708-05:00N has gone pee in the potty once!

I am giving myself til the end of the year and already told him when Santa comes he is going to take all the diapers away with him and bring new toys ... so we have 5 months to work on it! Ha!

She might be one that favors a less drastic approach - maybe pullups for a few weeks would help. Pretty much everyone I've talked to that did the "3" (hahaha) day method says the first few days suck royally but then something clicks. For us, the first 3 days were fine and then it was kind of bad, and then eventually it clicked for her - but it did happen. Good luck!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928807868790599467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-48511606509557284932012-07-15T18:55:02.697-05:002012-07-15T18:55:02.697-05:00Don't distress!

It may have been too many changes at once or she may have been so excited that she literally "peed her pants"! :) <br /><br />Trust your mommy instincts and good luck!Southern Belle Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14936819349069877478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873093851683468203.post-35386346713342442232012-07-15T14:28:48.092-05:002012-07-15T14:28:48.092-05:00I followed the method this mom blogged about and I...I followed the method this mom blogged about and I swear by it!<br /> http://www.themoesfamilyintexas.blogspot.com/2012/01/potty-training-part-2.html?m=1Karlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814746534626392297noreply@blogger.com
