My 4 year old will not go on the potty!
Our doctor told us not to worry about it but but I am!
I meant to say - YAY Deanna...and then add we were hitting a road block - not yay that we hit one!!! LOL!

So, what's your best tip:)
Don't fore them - they will do it when they are ready! When they are successful make it a BIG deal - jump up and down, sing a song, clap your hands!!! Try reading them a story while they are on the potty, or giving them a drink of water.
Hi--I'm not sure what I should be doing rightn now, my baby is 3 years old and he knows all about the toilet and likes to sit on it for fun but is this a sign I should be doing something more?

Any suggestions for how to get a 3 1/2 year old to make it through the night? She is still diapered at night and has never woken up dry. She doesn't seem to wake up when she has to go...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I just saw an interesting post in the Unschooling forum related to potty training:
http://totspot.com/groups/unschooling/posts/282
I have no experience to draw from as my oldest is only 18 months and we haven't started the potty training journey yet, but this story is encouraging and sounds like a rewarding, painless way for our Tots to use the potty!

My 3 y.o. daughter has no problem with going #1 in the potty, but when it comes to #2, forget about it! We have offered to get her a toy she really wants and she really would like the toy, but her fear/reluctance outweighs the desire for the reward. Anyone experience this? Have suggestions for overcoming this stumbling block?

Hi! My name is Nikki! Our daughter is 14.5 months old and she can tell me when she is wet, most of the time. She will point to her diaper and say Pee. Should I start to introduce the potty, and any tips/advice on how to do this! Thanks!
you could try to but dont get to upset if she does not do any thing. I whent thought that too with my baby and she did it for a mint but lost inerest in it but you can not force them tell there ready, well thell that they are like 4or 5 years old trust me i had to force my son in to it when he had tured 4 years old that was not fun. just foller her she knows what she can do can not do. Have fun and good luck

We are trying to potty train but it just isn't working. I've tried the she will go when she is ready but she just turned 3 and she can hold it at least 8 hours. she knows when she has to because she starts acting funny. or making noises like she doesn't want to do it. She finally just does it in the floor. I won't let her wear her pull-ups and she likes wearing big girl panies she just doesn't want to go in the potty. I really need some help with this one.
Is there a reason for her to be afraid of going potty? It sounds like the only thing missing is the *want* to go potty. I wish I knew what to tell you other than it sounds like there's a psychological reason that's very real for her that is keeping her from wanting to go.
I'm not sure what I'd try if it were me. Is she's feeling pressured? or afraid of people being disappointed in her if she has an accident? is she afraid of the potty itself?
Anyone else have any ideas?
when my son did not wunt to get potty tranning we wated tell he was 4 yeas old we had to force his he would thank it was funny when he went in his pants so we did what every body said you shoud not do is disaplen them but we did and did not buy dippers we bot under were not pull ups exseped at night that was it.
