Toilet Training - keeps wetting herself

pinkyponk2

I am currently trying to toilet train my 2 & a half year old daughter.

I knew she was going to be difficult as she did not want pants instead of nappies and hated sitting on a potty or training toilet seat.

I have been trying for a week now and have progressed a little ... she will now do a wee when I sit her on the toilet seat or potty.

But she cant seem to know when she is about to go and ask me to put her on the toilet, instead she just wets herself.

Any advice on how to train her to tell me when she needs to go?

She's probably not ready yet, leave it for a few weeks and come back to it. My 2 and 3 month year old is starting to tell me when she needs to do a wee wee or a poo and we go to the toilet then, sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't but we always try just in case. I haven't started training her properly just yet as I know she's not completely ready.

Agree she is not ready. I heard the average girl is trained by 35 months, the avergae boy by 39 months...

My girl was 18 months, my son was 3 1/2 and my other son was 3 1/4, there all different.

Our boy did it at 2.5 years (as in asking to go most of the time albeit with the occasional accident) but we've heard about others doing it both sooner or later. All kids are different and when she's ready, she'll make progress.

Hi everyone. OP here. Just an update. I was about to give up but thought i'd give one final shot at something i had heard about - leaving her bare from the waist down - and it has worked! She's going to the potty all by herself. Her little knickers must have felt a bit like a nappy to her and without that security she's naturally runs straight for the potty.

Thats great OP!

best thing is not to force it, she'll get there eventually and seems shes starting!
