How did you know your dc was ready to potty-train? 2.4yo dd talks about pee and poop constantly, likes to sit on the potty for 1 minute, but no interest in actually doing it. I've switched her to cloth diapers at home so she could feel the wetness . . . she'll take off the wet cloth diaper, but that's it. Anyway, what are the readiness signs? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Uhmm she is ready. You need to be persistent and not allow it to become a game. :) [ Reply | More

itda - this, in my opinion, is pre-readiness behavior. dc should have had the experience of having gone in the potty and also be able to signal or say when she/he has to go. [ Reply | More

pre-readiness? Do you know that the typical time for potty training occurs about 1 1/2? There is NO pre-readiness. If there is an interest, foster it imo [ Reply | More

All three of mine did this for many months before they were actually trained. Just leave the potty out, talk about it, ask her once in a while (once or twice a day) if she wants to go pee pee on the potty. Eventually it will happen. [ Reply | More

If she is not ready, you will be the one who is trained i.e. setting a timer to remember to make her sit on the potty every 30 minutes, etc. Try for a morning or afternoon. If she wets her diaper/pants, wait a few weeks and try again [ Reply | More

np: I was so concerned about potty training and then my daughter did it literally in one day (she NEVER went on the potty or the toilet before) when she was 2.9. She had two accidents the first day, one the second day and that was it. She completely led the whole thing. I really stressed about it so much for no reason. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

I would say she is ready. My DD pottytrained at 1.5 in less then 3 weeks. She was showing all the signs as your daughter. [ Reply | More

Mine did this for a while, so we told him to pee in the potty and he did 1x a day for a week. Now 3 weeks later, back to having no interest. [ Reply | More
