Hi Moms...I am worried about my 2.3 years old daughter who does not listen to us all about things related to potty manners. She is otherwise very intelligent and does unexpected things just like elders do..but her only issue is with potty manners. And a lot of times she refuses to wear her pants or innerwear..and is very cranky about it...and gets aggressive when i force her.

She does not tell us that she wants go to teh bathroom..and neither does she tell us when she has already done potty in her pants..we have to make out with her different actions...and I am always busy in teh kitchen in the morning hours when she needs some1 to make her sit on the potty stool and get her used to it...so its just going on stretching...and i feel helpless..

Pls advise. param replied. Hi,

I had the same problem with my daughter who is now 2.2yrs old.To b honest i guess more than the child it is we who try to take the easy way out because disciplining a child can be quiet tedious. Even i kept on delaying potty training assuming that when she learns to talk she will automatically start informing me about potty but trust me that didn' t happen my daughter spoke everything except informing abut her potty, thats when i realised that i have to train her and trust me it took exactly a month but now she has learnt to use the loo.What u need to do is try and inform her everyday that she is a big girl and she needs to use the bathroom just like all of us.Apart from telling her u need to encourage her to use the loo, specially the times like after waking up in the morning u need to make time for her and take her to the loo. Even if she doesn' t do it make her sit in the loo for some time. The day she manages to do it, appreciate her, eventually she will get the message.Just remember u need to be consistent in ur training and have loads of patience only then will u be relieved from this problem.So start the training today and do it everyday for a month and then u will be a happier mom.
