I am having the most difficult time potty training my 2 year old. Anytime I ask or tell her to use the potty she screams and throws a fit comparable to a hurricane. And also to throw even in more chaos she throws the same fit when i try to change her diaper. She doesn’t want her diaper changed nor does she want to use the potty. I have tried several things to bribe/reward her with if she uses it and that wont even do it. I created a potty chart and well… that hasnt gotten very far.. Any tips and techniques would be wonderful! Thanks a bunch yahooligans :D

My daughter didn’t like to use the potty and would throw fits as well and didn’t like to change her diaper. I would leave her be with urine. poop I’d have to literally hold her down no fun but I wasn’t going to smell poop all day either.
I tried all those wonderful things rewards, charts, potty movies sent to me by huggies and pampers, websites it worked oh maybe a few tries but honestly she just didn’t want to. I decided to stop trying for a few months. Although I did talk to her about big girls using the potty etc Then about oh 3 months before she turned three we went and bought one last pack of diapers and one pack of pull-ups and underroos (I had to change the name because she wasn’t going to where chonies). I explained that these were the last ones I was going to buy and that she had to be a big girl and the that the pull-ups were to be used at night only. I month later potty trained (after we used the pack of diapers)no rewards just a lot of praise and I didn’t get upset if there was an accident we just cleaned her up and moved on and reminded her to go when she first to felt it etc.


Now going on her own is another story she can but rather I go with her. Lately I have been trying to pretend I can’t hear and she will go on her own. good luck just remember patience and praise bribes only create monsters if used too often.

Another thing since your daughters seems to be just as adamant as mine. Don’t ask if she has to go at least not in the beginning. Just say it’s time to go and take her even if she wines, cries etc. I had to explain that that’s what people do mommy, daddy etc. I found that when my nieces came over she was more willing to use the potty like a big girl so hang out with other potty trained children if possible.
