- I agree, dont worry too much, she will eventually catch on. We tried rewarding
- her with stickers when she used the potty. I took her to the store the other
- day and she wet through her panties and pants. What I did the next time was
- tell her there was a potty in the store and if she needed to go to tell me.
- That cured that problem.
-
- Also we bug the heck out of her about needed to go to the potty. Asking her
- every now and then when she looked sort of uncomfortable. She would aswer most
- of the time NO. then proceed to pee a few minutes later. Then she would tricke
- a bit and tell use she needed to go. Then all of a sudden she looked up at me
- and walked into the potty by herself.
-
- So I suggest rewards, and continually asking her if she needs to go. Also my
- wife takes her just before we leave the house to go to the park or on a trip
- even if she doesnt need to. Its a good habit.
-
- Oh by the way, my daughter is 2.5 years old and is half way potty trained.
