So, we have been potting training our daughter for the last 3 weeks and she is doing great with number one. Hardly has any accidents and even when she wakes up from her naps she is dry. YIPPEE!! But, number two, is the issue. She has done it once or twice, but only because I have gotten her there in time and she has jumped off the potty. Does anyone have a little one that was scared to do the number 2. I have tried to tell her if she does it she gets a sucker as a treat, but nothing. Sometimes, she'll even sit on the potty and get up a second later and say she is done. For some reason she is scared and I don't know why. HELP! I'm getting sick of shoveling out poop!!:(

I didnt' get my daughter Potty Trained until last year... she was four!!! She would show early sings of wanted to go potty on the big potty... and then would be uninterested in it..... We started only wearing pull ups at night for "just in case" and wearing Big girl panties during the day.... she had a few acidents at daycare.. I sent plenty of clothes....... then she got the hang of going pee just fine.. number two that was a big harder!! Then last April-May.... we were at a friends house for the weekend and I went to get Makayla ready for bed and she didnt' have any pull ups left... I made her go potty three times before she went to sleep... I explained toher that she had to wear big girl pantys to bed becasue she was out of pullups... she smilled and got really excited about it!! when she woke up the next morning she was completly dry!!! She belined it for the potty and went and went and went!!! I took her to Build a bear for a treat.... but the oly rewards she got other than the build a bear.. were your such a big girl and good job!!

As much as I would really like to give you advice on this, it took my son until right after the new year to get this and we started potty training in August.

My best advice is to talk with her about it, everytime and try hard not to show anger. Sometimes it just takes them time.

My little girl had the same problem then I figured out what is was... when their wearing a dyper or pull ups, they dont' have to really use effort to go Poop.. but when the sit on the potty they really feel themselves going potty... my Dr. said it was becasue it hurt her .. or Makayla thought it hurt to go poop... so she would say I am done... and then mess her pants five mins later...... So it could be becasue it hurts her to go poop on the torilet...

My little one just turned 1... she shows interest in the potty.. she will sit on it when mommy goes... should I take that as a sign that she might want to try the "big potty" or is she just being cute???

She might show an interest in it.... try and put her up on the potty while your in their..... if she doesnt' like I would wait a bit.

Thanks! I try not to get anger and try to put myself in her shoes and i'm sure it is unfamiliar territory for her. I just encourage her and let her watch the "Elmo Potty Time" DVD as much as possible. She's a smart cookie and I know she'll get it in her own time. It's Mommy that has the problem.

Hey I know I was there. My son would poop in his underwear right after we had gone potty. It would drive me insane!!:( I thought I was goin to loose it. I got to the point where he had to help me clean it out of his underwear or if he wasn't wearing any he would have to help clean the floor. Not too long after I started doing that he started pooping in the toilet!

I was thinking of starting a 'potty training success' thread to see how the rest of you were coming! My dd finally decided she wants to wear big girl panties. It's been about 3 weeks now, and she's only had a few accidents. I'm so over-joyed:D
