    Cant get her to use the bathroom
    I have a 2yr old she will be 3 on October 16th and She wants to wear pull ups. I just can't get her to use the potty she rather go in the pull ups and change her self. She won't tell me she went potty no more she goes in the bathroom and pulls her pull up off and wipes her self with a wet wipe and comes to me and say mommy I need panties. Idk what to do because no matter what I do she wnt go to the potty I even got her a spongebob potty and a training seat for the adult toilet because she loves spongebob but its not working any sugestions. How to get her to use the adult potty or even a baby potty.:confused:

    Honestly, the best results to get her to go is to take her with you "every time" you have to go.
    Also just sit her on it from time to time when you think she is going (You know that confused or concentrated look). Eventually she'll get order of it, don't get frustrated we all have one thing in common when it comes to connecting the dots.. It takes time. Observation of what you are trying to teach is the best way to get your child to grasp anything. Seeing is believing. Good luck, it will happen.;)

    It takes time but if you push and push or do anything to get her to go. Then they will rebel and not want to do it.

    They will start when they are ready. My son did not get it until he was close to four. We were all worried about it but now has no problems.

    We even know somebody that is older then him, a girl. That is still struggling with the potty. It does happen.

    Some people might not agree with this but using a reward is I think the best way to get the potty party success started.

    Take a deep breath and relax. It takes some kids longer than others. And like jesushelper said, some may disagree but rewards help, and I even go so far as to say M&Ms help :) one if you pee in the potty and 2 if you poop in the potty.

    Pull ups are horrible. I hate them. They're just fancy diapers.

    I used pull ups with both of my kids, and they didn't potty train until I got rid of the pull ups and let them feel the wet and the poop in their pants.

    Get rid of the pull ups, put her in underwear.

    My daughter was almost 4 and still in pull ups. One day I had had enough. I put her in underwear, told her that she gets one pair a day, if she wets them, she has to stay in wet panties all day.

    She had one accident. After that, she was potty trained.

    I agree with the above. Our daughter was perfectly capable of using the bathroom on hew own. She just never had to because she was in pull ups. As soon as we took them off, and she felt gross, we were good to go. If you are concerned about accidents, cut apart some garbage bags and tape them down if you have hard surface floors, or use carpet tacks if you have that. They are cheap, and they keep everything dry while you are transitioning.
