Originally posted by Larry_OHF: Not for myself, you silly-minded goat! I mean for my two year old. She knows enough that she does not want to wet her pants, but she also has decided that actually letting go ANYWHERE is bad. She holds it as long as she can, until it hurts and cannot hold it any longer, thus messing on herself and crying about it. She does not act like that when a diaper is on at night (bedtime only). She knows she can go, then. So...how do you teach a child that while sitting on the potty, it is okay to let it go?

2 year old?
Are you sure?
hm *walks away pondering*

Lock her in the bathroom with a case of beer [img]smile.gif[/img] You can join her too [img]smile.gif[/img] This is called Potty Training/Bonding. [img]smile.gif[/img] When her bladder gets full Just help her onto the toilet and tell her to do what comes natural. When she gets finished open another beer for her to celebrate [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ill ask my wife and get back to you. She might have a clue as shes had 8 kids. Cant get her off that damn Star Trek game though

If you had a boy Larry, I'd have the perfect thing. With boys, just throw a red fuit loop (breakfast cereal in the shape of hoops) in the toilet and let them target practice! They'll be begging to use the bathroom and holding back to "save it" for the bathroom game in no time! I came up with that one remembering how hilarious I thought it was as a kid to pee your initials in the snow. I guess the secret is to make a fun game of using the bathroom properly. Once it becomes fun instead of a chore, there will be no problem!

Both my kids were done at the 2 year mark. Kristen slightly quicker cause she was jealous of her older brother. Sean we just started each morning with him perched on his little potty watching Barney untill he went, when he did we praised him told him how proud wer were....According to my Grandma's 2 years old is the perfect time...but I think it varys. Kristen learning from her big bro caught on a lot quicker.

I thinkn thats when you tell the kids. Ok we are going to re-enact the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbour. Maybe thats politcly incorrect. might work though. Drop a red Fruit Loop in and say "Sink the ship" [img]smile.gif[/img]
