I'm trying to potty train my 2-1/2 yo. For the second time. The first time, I realized that I was just getting ahead of myself and was pushing her to do something she wasn't ready for. This time, she's ready. She'll actually go into another room to pull her diaper off and poop in the floor. [whataaargghsign] So, I figure, she's got to be ready.

We've been doing the Azrin/Foxx thing. A dry panties check every 15 minutes, with an M&M if she's dry and a potty run every half hour. In three days, she's peed on the potty once and in her pants more times than I can count. Am I doing something wrong, or is there something else I ought to try? Help!

Hang in there! Sounds like you working hard at this. I did things just a little different. I gave m&m's when the pee or poop was put in the toilet. My daughter didn't fully grasp that she was getting a reward for dry panties as well as getting a reward for something in the potty. I also tried to keep my daughter on the potty for a good chunk of time by reading her books or listening to songs. And of course there are several good potty books and movies out there. My favorite is Bear in the Blue house "Potty Time". I also had my daughter pick out a bigger treat for when my daughter started going to the potty regularly, like a Little People set or new DVD.
Hope she gets the hang of it soon! :wink:

My true feeling no potty training is they WILL DO IT when they are ready. I would push my DS & the more I pushed the more he rebelled. So I let it go, and one week before he turned 3 he was going potty. PTL.. he still wears a diaper at bedtime, but we are quite proud of our little potty user :lol: My mom raised 7 & says the same!

Hugs & know that it will happen. I told another mom one time that they won't be in diapers forever!!
