We’ve been working on potty training my daughter. She’s 2 years and 9 months old. She’ll use the potty only occassionaly. At school, they take her to the potty on scheudle and she’ll usually use it two or three times. But each time they take her, she has a wet or dirty diaper.
She shows no real interest in being potty trained or using it at home. We even tried to reward her (with stickers she can place on a calendar each time she uses it, or even with candy). But when we ask her, she’d rather not have the candy if it means using the potty.
We even tried putting “big girl” underwear on her. She has never really cared if she gets wet or has a poopy diaper. It doesn’t ever bother her unless it gives her a rash.
We’re running out of ideas. We got books and videos to show her on using the potty but she has little interest.
Thanks for your tips.
I do need to point something out to all of you who may have missed the point….
My wife and I both work all day. While we’re at work, she’s at daycare. We can’t put underwear on her for school if she’s not potty trained. She has to wear pull ups because they’re easier for her to take on and off.
The school requires that she be in a diaper or pull up until she is potty trained.
Besides, she can’t move up into the next class (3 year olds) until she is completely potty trained.
