How To Toilet Train A Child?

Hello, My daughter will turn 3 in July; she is intelligent and bright child and she is aware of when she poops (she would hide and do it). So, we thought that she is ready for potty training and we tried it, but it didn t work. We tried bribing her with chocolates and she was in her underwear for two days and peed into it every single time. We thought that she is doing that on purpose and only because she is a strong willed child, which she is, but could it be another problem as well? Because, in the morning her diaper is always soaked wet and these two days we actually realized the she pees often; once it took only about 10 minutes after changing to wet her pants again. Her reaction is different, first she didn t care, but after a couple of times she started being upset and crying and wanted to be changed. Should we be concerned or should we just let her in diapers for now? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Three years is high time to start toilet training if you continue to put her on diapers it will be even more delayed and she might not learn toilet training well. Even if she she is strong willed child and does not like that to be toilet trained, I suggest you talk to her soothingly and start toilet training.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
