Seriously, I don't mean to sound harsh, but kids will let you know when they are ready. I think we, as parents, try to fit our children into the molds of what society wants them to be, and that is not realistic. I have a toddler who is almost 19 months old, and we are involved in many playgroups with children of all ages.

The one thing I've found is that they all develop differently and on different time frames. For instance, my daughter was standing at 6 months and walking/running at 10 months. Most of her little buddies have not walked until 12-15 months old.

Others in her groups talk with great vocabulary at 12-15 months, while my little girl only says about 10 words. Truly, each child is their own person, and they will develop on their own time schedule! My daughter has just started walking into the bathroom when I use it, and I make it a novelty for her by saying, "Mommy's going pee-pee on the potty.

" When changing her diaper, I have sat her on the potty three times, and I just make it fun for her. Granted, she isn't actually going potty in the potty, but it's a fun activity for her to just sit on the potty for now. I am in no hurry to potty train.

My nephew was 2 1/2 (almost three actually) when he finally potty trained, and they used pre-school as a motivating factor (he had to be potty trained to go to full-day pre-school). Each child is motivated by different factors. I know children who have been potty trained at 18 months and others who are 4 before they are completely potty trained.

Take some pressure off of yourself, and let her do it in her own time. Make it fun and not so much a chore, too, and that may help. When she does go pee-pee in the potty, reward her with stickers and lots of praise!

The key is not to scold her or punish her if she has accidents or goes in her diaper or training pants as that will only deter her. Praise and positive reinforcement is the key. If you are really dead set on getting her potty trained quickly, there is a book called "Toilet training in less than a day...a tested method for teaching your child quickly and happily" by Nathan Azrin, PH.

D and Richard Foxx, PH. D. Good luck to you!

Don't know all that you have tried but.... this has worked with me with daughters, nieces and granddaughters. My action plan is as follows.... 1. Take you daughter in the wash room when you go so she will see by example and to decease any fears she may have.

This can also be done if she has a older sister. 2. Have her sit on the potty a few minutes after she eats and drinks.3.

Have her sit on the potty as soon as she wakes up and before bed. 4. Make it a fun thing and let her know that she is a big girl now.5. Reward her with her favorite thing to do or eat.

Finally, there are DVD's with children favorite characters showing kids how to use the potty and potty with music and singing to help amuse her when she is sitting on the potty. Hope this helps! *P.S. The following routine must be followed at all times even when you are out and if she is in daycare then the daycare must also follow the same routine..

If you're determined to do it now... There are a few techniques that worked for me. My daughter was almost three when she was officially potty trained. I started slow, around the time she turned two.

I first started letting her sit on the potty before she got into the bath tub, and she could soon "pee on demand. " Sometimes she’d ask to sit on the potty and would go pee, but I didn’t push the issue. Once she got used to that routine and comfortable with it, I started changing her diaper in the bathroom and would have her sit on the potty each time.

We had a little training potty, which she loved to empty into the "big potty. " Sometimes this was messy, so I kept the bathroom cleaner handy. She rarely had a bowel movement in the potty, but once in a while she would and we’d make a big deal out of it.

Finally, when she was three months away from her third birthday, I set out to make the switch to underwear. She was capable of dressing and undressing herself and could verbally express when she needed to go to the bathroom. She could also understand and follow directions well.

I chose a time when I had over a week off of work, so she would be home with me and not at daycare. The first morning, I put her in underwear and told her I was setting a timer to go off in one hour. When the timer went off, it would mean "time to go potty!"

Every hour, I’d take her into the bathroom. For two days she did awesome and had no accidents. The third day, I spread out the time a bit between bathroom visits, and she still did well.

She got an M&M each time she went potty and kept her underwear dry. On the fourth day, she suddenly decided she was done with potty training. She would insist on sitting on her little potty for several minutes at a time without going.As soon as she was dressed again, she would wet herself and laugh.

It turned into a battle of wills, and I didn’t know what to do. A friend suggested I not let her win the battle. Since the previous few days had shown that she could control her bladder and bowels and was capable of using the potty well, I should not ease up.

She suggested I make my daughter remove her own wet clothing and clean herself up. Make her be in charge of her own bathroom business, and not back down.So, I gave it a try. I explained to my daughter first that if she had accidents she would have to clean up her own mess.

I told her that she was big enough to use the potty, and that we were saying goodbye to diapers forever. Ten minutes later, after another potty session that resulted in nothing, she wet herself and laughed about it. I very calmly took her into the bathroom and told her to take her wet things off and put them in the hamper.

I did not yell, belittle, or humiliate her. She threw a huge fit because she hated to touch her wet pants and underwear. She did take them off, pick them up, and put them in the hamper, but cried the whole time.

In fact, she got so mad at me that she went to her room and went to bed.BUT...from that day on she never had a single accident. For my second child, a boy, I also used M&Ms as a reward for going potty. He was a couple of months past his third birthday when we switched to underwear.

I also used the timer, but only for a couple of days. He had one accident a day for the first few days, then rarely had a problem. My youngest, also a boy, turned three in February and still refuses to wear underwear.

He will pee on the potty, but flat out refuses to poop on the potty. He will go so far as to hide when he has to go. We have promised him a new Webkinz when he finally does poop on the potty, but his response now is, "I have enough Webkinz!

" I am trying not to push the issue, and I feel that if he would go on the potty once he'd realize it's OK. I don't know what his hangup is, but suspect it has something to do with the severe constipation he's had in the past. I will also mention that it's my personal belief that the longer you wait to potty train, the easier it is.

Three is a good age. :) So...make sure your daughter is ready, try a simple reward, don't berate her, be patient, and be consistent. If she goes to daycare, make sure you're all on the same page.

This time of year, you can even let her go around outside with nothing on from the waist down so she can associate the feeling of having to go with the actual process. Let her use her potty chair wherever she feels comfortable (my daughter liked to plop hers down in front of the TV). Make her in charge of the process, even getting her input on rewards (what you'll do if she stays dry and clean for one day, three days, one week, etc. ), and if she wets herself insist that she be involved in the clean up.

Don't expect her to remain dry all night or for more than a couple of hours during the day. In the beginning, you will need to tell her when it is time to go potty. Eventually she will be telling you when she has to go.

Good luck! Sources: three kids and five years as an infant/toddler teacher .

She'll get it when she gets it. For her, it's too early. Don't stress about it.

Sooner or later she'll figure it out and decide it's time to become a big girl.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
