Potty training children is more difficult ...Bonnie <br />Potty training children is more difficult than teaching them to read. I had someone share with me in the throws of potty training to not get discouraged and to remember they will not be in diapers at 21. That was reassuring. I relaxed and voila before I knew it mission accomplished.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048726941985148264.post-82090258263356187272010-12-31T14:38:09.770-06:002010-12-31T14:38:09.770-06:00One of my children was the same way. We had potty ...One of my children was the same way. We had potty training totally accomplished for almost 2 months, and then one day came the big announcement, "I want to wear diapers." To which I responded, "No you don't! You want to wear big kid undies." "No, I want to wear diapers." Needless to say, I lost. <br /><br />Four months later I had had enough. I announced that there would be more diapers. "You're three, you don't need diapers, and you aren't allowed to have accidents." And yes, I punished my child for messing their pants. I know that's frowned on, but so is sending a 4 year old to Sunday School in diapers! So, I punished. I felt guilty, but I did it. In just a couple days the child was resigned to it and life went on. <br /><br />I still feel guilty when I think of it, and wonder if it was "right", but that child is now an adult and living a successful life going after God, so I guess it didn't do too much damage...

I've got a recently 2 y...DANG that is intense! <br />I've got a recently 2 year old princess who could totally pee on the potty and all the jazz....if she wanted to. We've never made a very serious attempt. I tell myself I'm waiting for the summer...and hopeful of hardwood floors in our new house.<br />But it's just so crazy to me that she totally and completely GETS IT and even when bribed "If you sit on the potty you get a treat! Want a treat?" <br />She says yes. <br />"Okay go sit on the potty."<br />"No."<br />"Okay no treat!"<br />"Ok, no treat."my name is heather.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00286857362083191666noreply@blogger.com
